Good Morning America

Bill Ritter. Does anyone remember him anchoring for a few months right after Charlie left? I always thought he would have been a great replacement for Charlie. It's so good to see everyone back in one room.

I wonder if ABC is considering a CBSN like operation because I'm really enjoying having this non-stop ABC coverage. I'd really like to see ABC do something like CBSN and they could even stream in on their digital channel all the time.

I was thinking of the same thing, I'm really loving this broadcast as well.

David no Charlie joking about Joan being their Girl was pretty funny

 

I wonder if Meredith, Katie and Savannah have those arguments about Matt lol

[TVNewsJunkie15 56]

Wow INTERESTING!! The story Joan just told!

[MorningNews 1290]

Would that be the story about the bus tours? That was so incredible to hear! This makes me wonder why GMA rarely ever does traveling now for the program?

[TVNewsJunkie15 56]

The story about Charles and Diana wedding. I am a monarchist and follow the BRF so I found it very interesting

[24994J 5269]

I hope they post the ENTIRE team interview, because I'm watching on an hour and a half delay, and I know that won't last before my connection gives out.

"How many animals that you brought had sex on the air?" -Gibson, to Hanna

[USNewsie 49]

I'm hoping they'll have the full thing up for viewers that want to rewatch it such as myself.

Also, Geraldo Riviera was on from Paris. I'm wondering if Cuomo would be able to do the same?

"You can feed me like a foie gras'd goose, just so long as it's on the internet and on TV." -Dan Harris

I feel like George is more relaxed on the 40 for 40 and it's nice to see him just relax with the correspondents. George is talking to Martha right now who is in Iraq and it's nice because it seems as though they are just having a casual conversation.

There have been so many fascinating moments in this conversation between Charlie Gibson and George Stephanopolous. For one, George seemed amazed when Charlie commented something like "It must feel nice not having to fit a piece into 3 minutes 30 seconds." George responded "3:30? Try 2:30," indicating the show has shifted to a more rapid-fire style than it was in Charlie's era.

 

There was a very honest discussion between Charlie and George about suggestion of bias in reporting, with an acknowledgement of the difficult position George is in given his background.

[24994J 5269]

It's was nice seeing George candidly admit what he has to do, day to day, considering his background...and the advantages and disadvantages. It's also nice how Charlie politely forced the issue, not to expose or pressure George, but to encourage him. I was also fascinated by Charlie's voting practices (or lack thereof), stemming from his role on the Ford campaign trail. Anyone who didn't see the interview and has any interest in the bias in modern journalism should check it out.

Lisa Wilkinson of Today Australia just joined George from Sydney.

[TVNewsJunkie15 56]

That discussion between George and Charlie was Fascinating indeed. Very candid

[Action Newsroom 1149]

Just the fact that Charlie was there on set again was great, but the conversation with George certainly was a big highlight to me thus far. And this livestream has a lot from me.

I'm amazed at how Charlie has aged.

Does anyone know why GMA is the only ABC News show to have it's sight hosted on Yahoo? I think it would make more sense to move it over to ABCNews.com and incorporate Yahoo News into ABC's site where all the other shows are. It also causes confusion considering many of the articles are posted under GMA on ABCNews.com even though it's on a different site.

I'm amazed at how Charlie has aged.

While he looks quite a bit older, he doesn't sound old, if that makes any sense. Just listening to him makes me think he could jump right back into the anchor chair at any moment. (I sort of wish he would... he's right up there with Peter Jennings in the list of legends over at ABC News, IMO.)

[24994J 5269]

I'm amazed at how Charlie has aged.

His aging accelerated not long after he retired. I recall on his last day of GMA, Diane and Robin greeted him at his apartment at 5am, and his hair already nearly white. If I were to guess, I'd also say he had a partial hairpiece his last few years.

Yes! He was a candidate mentioned to be part of Good Morning America when Charlie left for WNT. Do you remember when he anchored Good Morning America Sunday wayyyy back before the show even had a full weekend team?

They tried this already from 2004 thru 2013. It was called ABC News Now. It started as a digital sub channel, was met with resistance by affiliates, never got full cable carriage, transitioned to online only then folded into abcnews.com. The air space went to Fusion.

I think he meant as an app from the app store or Google play.

Agreed 100%. One of my favorite anchors at ABC. He did a superb job of leading World News Tonight out of some tough times and back to stability and even to #1 for a brief time. It looks like he is enjoying retirement and good for him - he deserves it!
