Good Morning America sailed into the 1990s with its overwhelming ratings success. Lunden and Gibson were a hard couple to beat. But Good Morning America would stumble from its top spot in 1997. Lunden decided to step down after 17 years on the show, and was replaced by Lisa McRee. The show was almost killed when Gibson, too, left the show to make way for Kevin Newman in 1998.

With McRee and Newman at the helms of Good Morning America, long time viewers switched to The Today Show. By this time, The Today Show was hosted by Matt Lauer and Katie Couric. News and weather were anchored by Ann Curry and Al Roker. The Today Show ratings skyrocketed and remained at the top spot into the mid 2000s.
