Good Morning America

Good Morning America (also popularly known as GMA), launched in 1975, is the weekday morning news talk show of the American Broadcasting Company, or ABC television network. Featuring news, weather and special interest stories, it is recorded live from its Times Square studios in New York City and fed to all network affiliates. The program is currently hosted by Charles Gibson, Diane Sawyer, and Robin Roberts. Tony Perkins is the show's weatherman.

Gibson, Sawyer, and Roberts

In May 2005, ABC announced former ESPN anchor Robin Roberts, the show's news anchor would be promoted to co-anchor. She had been regularly filling in for Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson. In her new role, she now helps take stress off Charlie Gibson, who, along with Elizabeth Vargas, is anchoring World News Tonight since anchor Peter Jennings passed away from lung cancer on August 7, 2005.

As of 2005, Good Morning America has still not prevailed over The Today Show, though it has had a few one-show victories on the day after Pope John Paul II's funeral, and then a Mariah Carey concert shortly after in 2005. Good Morning America has though won in timeslots in large markets like New York, which may give an indication that people may begin to choose them over The Today Show. Time will only tell.
