Why did they name her co-anchor? That makes no sense. All she does is pop news and a few of the other lighter stories. Basically she is just their main fill in, which makes no sense because that should go to Amy. IDK I guess it just bugs me that she doesn't do anything to deserve the "co-anchor" title. Maybe if they wanted that they could go back to the format (even though I dont know much about it, wanna learn more though) wen they had Robin, Charlie, and Dianne.

I agree I see no need why they need another anchor to anchor when he isn't on set. All they need is to make sure they have a back up on set in case they loose his signal. He is perfectly capable of anchoring the whole broadcast from out on site.

Oh ok, I didnt watch GMA much if any back then. So I was just wondering how she fit in. Thanks

So she was just basically like Amy Robach today, but was titled co-anchor?

Hey, this a random, throwback question. When Robin, Diane, and Charles were the co-anchors of GMA who read the news? Like was there a specific news anchor or did they all three do the duties. How did that work?

Overall, I felt that David did an extremely good job this evening. I like his style and edge, which I think are perfect for this kind of broadcast. Looking forward to the evolution of the broadcast with him at the helm.
