Everything looks better than I remember before the stream but since I am usually asleep during the morning hours, I rarely watch morning shows. However when I am awake, I watch FOX 2 News in the Morning (KTVI STL). Honestly, the last time I watched GMA was some time in between 2008-10. I will say this has been one of the most unique marketing thing I have seen in years. Streaming a show called Good Morning America for 40 hours straight (even starting at Night, how ironic) and online only (no ads even other than the standard first-page load on the ABCNews.com site (That YouTube stream doesn't have ads!). The money of this size of a production had to be big and to not have ads is crazy. Last unique marketing thing like this that I can remember was

With them going to WNN/ATM with the GMA breaks, all I could think is that "Aren't they technically cheating?" Yes they are streaming 40 hours but it said 40 hours of GMA, not 80% GMA and 20% WNN/ATM. I'm not mad I just find it interesting that technically speaking, they are not airing 40 hours of GMA. Personally, I am just waiting for the Tech Power Hour around Midnight tonight. It's being simulcast and co-produced at TWiT.tv, an amazing 24/7 Tech/Geek Network, using their unique flipped-staff studios[1] to broadcast and a free after-the-fact downloadable Podcast. Also, Becky Worley and Leo Laporte are a great duo (especially as they worked together on The Screen Savers from TechTV). [1]: (one technical director doing everything w/ fixed cameras and many on screen personalities compared to traditional TV which is ~50 people behind-the-scenes including operators and ~5 on screen)

Well like I said, I am not usually awake and if I am it's usually KTVI's morning news.

So about last week, KSDK aired a special news open for Today in St. Louis as they won the award for "Best Morning News Show" in STL. I haven't been able to catch it (or record) as I am not usually awake and my computer sucks. Seems like they usually air it at the beginning of the 6:00am hour.
