It totally makes sense now, it's been odd that they've been going about with GMA3 at the new studio without mentioning anything about Eva or Demarco. If you don't keep track of what's been reported on the New York Post, you think they were simply erased from the third hour altogether. 

My commentary on Demarco and Eva, they had tough shoes to fill replacing Amy and  TJ, who had crazy electric chemistry, which made for good television.

Looks like ABC News is going with a panel format for that hour (which is a much more flexible, safer alternative), or is just keeping the hour warm until they get a big talent to host the slot.

ESPN’ers Joe Buck & Malika Andrews will co-host GMA later this month.

Good for her. I remember her locally for her stop at WPVI and always thought she was good at ABC. With the flux in the current GMA lineup this is probably a more visible and steady gig. I don’t care for the show, but respect her choice.

Hopefully the show is restructured around her, because IE has needed a solid refresh for over a decade.

Interesting move I thought it be Mary Calvi.

Same, really expected Mary to get the role.

And now the other shoe has dropped. Demarco is departing GMA3 and ABC News altogether.

At this point, if it weren't for Live and The View being #1 in their respective ratings, the network might as well move to officially make GMA a full three-hour show.

He always leaving something, he can never stay somewhere a long time dammit Demarco. You got a network job very few journalists get a network job and you leave it, if I was him I would’ve stayed.

[nathannah 2555]

I think in this case he had good reason to walk; whatever they offered beyond 20/20, it's all a downgrade.

Correspondent isn’t a bad thing right…

It sucks for Demarco as he was really enthusiastic --brought to tears even -- when he got the job. But in all fairness this program was unstable from its iteration so he had to have seen this revamp was a possibility.

 

Seems he can land jobs easily so he'll probably be fine. 

 

Compared to Good Afternoon America, The Chew, and The Revolution ABC has really tried with the 1pm ET slot. Surprisingly GMA 3 hasn't been cancelled yet.

Seems like he bounces around a lot. He only stays at most jobs 3-4 years, so he was due to leave again. 
 

I think GMA3 would work better if it was on at 9AM, but that would likely bump LIVE to 10AM on the east coast, but would create a problem in the other time zones unless THE VIEW and LOCAL NEWS also get bumped back an hour. 

[HanSolo 214]

It creates a problem in the eastern time zone, at least so far as their own stations are concerned. The 10 am newscasts are seemingly important to them, and you can’t realistically move the existing noon newscasts to 1 to create that separation around The View.

 

For now, there is no compelling need to put GMA3 nearer the mothership. Live serves the company’s purposes well, and eventually this transition period will settle down.

"Live" doesn't need to be live... KARE airs it on tape delay at 11 central in Minneapolis, and that's Market 15.
