24994J 5684 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Their streaming broadcast begins Tuesday evening, so while they'll do stuff tomorrow and Tuesday morning (a bus tour beginning in Chicago), I'd imagine it will be mostly relegated to the second hour, or even the last half hour. Heck, this morning they moved onto other news (not fluff and stuff), in the second half hour.
Action Newsroom 1325 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 I watched GMA thia morning, and I noticed a nice little update to the set. This another one after the big refresh. It's an updated large screen display where the interview area and Social Square is, removing the metalic walls that seperate the two parts. Looks very nice. http://nca.st/P8Ys6
24994J 5684 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I think the update over the weekend is even more substantial than what was done to the anchor base and weather board. Having a full video wall over the old "couch backdrop" (so to speak) is a big change, and the area separating the studio from the social square has gone from a bunch of screens that could rotate to open the gap to just the two sliding screens. The social square appears to be completely redone in the wood motif with a table and stools, much like the Orange Room's update. The touch screen area between the studio/square doorway and the windows has also been redone.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I find it interesting Today and GMA went in completely opposite directions with their sets. GMA went more wood and homey while Today went more industrial and poppy. 2
24994J 5684 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I still hate GMA's new desk with a passion. The wood tends to be a little over the top in parts, but it's okay enough. This era of the set (not used very long, about two years ago) is still my favorite version of the first floor set. That said, the the second Times Square set that debuted for their 30th in '05 is my all-time favorite, with its two anchor sets (this and the classic REAL window backdrop). 1
LTSC1980 114 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Here is that older version that they are talking about that I like better, too. Only the music on this. You'll notice the difference. They did in special edition about Paris bombing recently. Not sure if they will keep it though. 1
BehindNYNews 147 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I think the Meet the Press studio would be a cool style for a morning show.
mardek1995 200 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 And GMT is celebrating 40 years on the air
danderson500 31 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 are they going to have any of the older news anchors join Amy at the desk? id like to see Steve Bell join Amy because he was the first news anchor back in 75 remembered they had John Palmer, Faith Daniels and Margret Larson join Natalie for Today's 60th
24994J 5684 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 And GMT is celebrating 40 years on the air I didn't realize that Good Morning Tunisia started the same year. are they going to have any of the older news anchors join Amy at the desk? id like to see Steve Bell join Amy because he was the first news anchor back in 75 remembered they had John Palmer, Faith Daniels and Margret Larson join Natalie for Today's 60th Maybe not in that symbolic image of them all standing together, but everybody will be there, except for Chris Cuomo. 1
mardek1995 200 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I didn't realize that Good Morning Tunisia started the same year.Sorry, I meant GMA is celebrating 40 years on the air. 1
Action Newsroom 1325 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 The 40 for 40 Livestream has begun. 3
LoadStar 366 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Just turned on the live stream... not what I expected. It is just going to be literally a 40 hour long edition of a standard GMA episode?
Action Newsroom 1325 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 It is just going to be literally a 40 hour long edition of a standard GMA episode? Yep. It's going to be 40 hours, and will probably carry as many big news stories as it can online. Along with the usual GMA fare, and previous anchors and personalities appearing. I'm so excited.
24994J 5684 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I've forgotten how good a team Robin and George are together, without 12 other voices around them. 2
TVNewsJunkie15 68 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I am a Today Show Viewer but I am loving this GMA 40 for 40. I like watching Any especially. Great thing is if there any major breaking News tonight and tomorrow night they will be right on top of it and one of the first
danderson500 31 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I've forgotten how good a team Robin and George are together, without 12 other voices around them. my folks are old enough to remember David Hartman but your right, Robin and George are as good as David was 1
Action Newsroom 1325 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 I didn't know this until now, but the Livestream is also on TV, surprisingly. I was channel-surfing until I saw it on the LiveWell .2 subchannel of WPVI in Philly. I'm not sure if it's on in other citites as well, but it's really cool for those without Internet to watch, too.

WLS has it, so it's safe to assume all 8 stations have it.
newscopter7 234 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Granted GMA was created to be the light alternative to Today, but the bit of GMA's 40 for 40 broadcast has only underscored for me how far ABC News has fallen. The line between news and entertainment is so blurred at this point, one is indistinguishable from the other.

The line between news and entertainment is so blurred at this point, one is indistinguishable from the other. And that's a major reason (and probably the main reason) why I prefer watching the Today show (and really, NBC News in general) over GMA (and ABC news).

The line between news and entertainment is so blurred at this point, one is indistinguishable from the other. GMA's 40 for 40 broadcast isn't supposed to be hard news, its supposed to be a fun celebration of GMA's 40th Anniversary. And if you've watched GMA over the past month, you have had to notice that GMA has gotten a lot more serious and I'd put it in between Today and CBS This Morning on a hard news to fluff spectrum. They've really toned it down and brought news back to GMA. 1

The line between news and entertainment is so blurred at this point, one is indistinguishable from the other. I'd like to see you fill 40 hours of airtime. The first hour was like 50 minutes of straight news, and the second hour started similarly. Also, with how gloom and doom the last week has been, some fluff on a commercial-free online stream is no way to judge an entire news organization. 1
newscopter7 234 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Dude, my bad...forget the election, ISIS, the refugee crisis...ain't nothing wrong with a news organization peddling silverware.
