Lara being named co-anchor is just a title. Move noticed that she only fills in for Robin, never George. So maybe she's Robin's main fill in? As 24994J mentioned, when Robin was named co-anchor with Charlie and Diane, she was their equal whereas Lara is still the entertainment anchor.

 

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.

 

Is David not allowed to anchor an entire broadcast from outside of the set? Why does there need to be someone in NY to do the rest of the days news. I'm just thinking, as a viewer, I wouldn't care if David did the entire broadcast on the road. In fact, I would prefer that to them going back and forth.

 

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?

 

 

Robin still did the news. She just did it from the main desk.

 

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.
