I will say I just looked at the new on-air bug and ticker, and they are beautiful. A new graphics package has to debut on GMA tomorrow that goes with the bug because the two looks don't match at all. They probably debuted the new bug this weekend so that the affiliates can have the location of the time and temp fixed before the Monday show. Hopefully some updates to the studio as well, we shall see tomorrow I guess.

Oh?

It's not like GMA is going to fall to third place if they visit. It's the 40th anniversary and they want past anchors there.

Am I the only one who isn't a fan of the Suki/Kori pairing? I don't know what it is, Suki has gotten a lot better from the really bad era at PIX 11 when she was paired with Frances and I am actually a big fan of Suki's now. I just don't like Kori and I don't think Suki is a huge fan either.

You need to just leave. You look like an idiot right now. And you're calling him ignorant but you can't even spell, hypocrite.

To keep with ABC primetime.

Not a good first impression on this website.

He loses Wake Up with Al and then the third hour? Definitely a possibility but that would not be good for Mr. Roker if true.

That was probably the worst commercial I've ever seen.

Yeah but that's WABC's forte. Weather and Heather, There goes that news van again, etc...

I have to say, I'm rather surprised how little we see Diane Sawyer these days. I figured we'd be seeing semi-frequent specials but she's only been on a handful of times since leaving WN last year. Kind of disappointing, I really like Diane's reporting.

I just think GMA and ABC would be dumb if they pretended like nothing is happening. Today has been gaining A LOT of momentum and if they aren't careful, they are going to be in trouble.

I don't know what GMA's problem is but whatever it is, they need to fix is fast or there are going to be bigger problems. http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/today-show-wins-full-month-in-the-a25-54-demo/273470

Well Amy wins in the long run because she has a weekday position on the #1 morning show.

So this is from earlier this month but I just saw it and found it interesting. Basically, both Josh Elliot and Sam Champion are realizing what we already know. They were lured from GMA to NBC simply to tear apart the GMA family, not because NBC actually cares about them. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/sam-champion-leave-weather-channel-back-abc-article-1.2356308 Apparently Sam went to ABC asking to return to GMA and ABC said they didn't have room for him anymore. I also find this interesting, That sounds anything but certain about Josh's future at NBC.

First off, I don't see how pretending like you work for WCAU is funny or a joke. To me, that's just immature and it wasn't a joke, it was you caught up in a lie. Second, you admitted that after you got bombarded by people who already knew you were lying. If you lied about that, I would not put it against you to be lying about your age. That said, I don't care whether you are a kid or an adult what bothers me is your constant nagging. Please tone it down.

As far as I know, that's all dated from when Amy joined GMA officially. I'm not aware of any new news.

They did, no change, just papal colors instead of red and blue.

Speaking of... http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/doonesbury-is-not-a-fan-of-world-news-writing-style/272254

So I didn't notice it at first but they changed the desk a little too. They got rid of the angles on the side and now it is just a rectangle. Minor update but worth noting. Also a few other small set changes.

I won't get deep into the other shows but for ABC, Special Reports, Word News Now, America This Morning and Good Morning America all need new graphics if you ask me. We're nearly certain to see new election graphics and I'm excited for that. Frankly they can just use the now old WNT graphics for election night , kidding of course. But I do look forward to what ABC has in store.

WNT is going to be anchored from Washington D.C. tomorrow and Wednesday, St. Patricks Cathedral on Thursday and Philly on Sunday so there are going to be a lot of different opens this week too. I can not get over how much better the opening theme is.

Over the past few days I've noticed David Muir has been responding to tweets (in a good way) rather than just tweeting about the news. Definitely a good way to connect with viewers (including me ).

I thought the same thing but I like this new version better, it is much more serious. And no thank you, I like the current theme .

The instant index was a huge improvement tonight too.
