MorningNews 1540 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Is that confirmed? The only reason I ask is because the first day I saw the new graphics were yesterday following the South Carolina shootings and they had a shorten brief introduction that was just about the incident and not the normal full teaser. I haven't seen since yesterday so I wasn't sure if they were just using that shortened intro for that day only
24994J 5664 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I'd say it's permanent. To run the full open would only take like 5 more seconds. Maybe they realized that saying/displaying three names was a little clunky... [yt]UPCQiCTOUXw[/yt]
MorningNews 1540 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 It's not bad but they should go back to the open they used for most of last year which was just "Live from Times Square, the date, this is Good Morning America" that way they avoid having to include Lara's name in the intro. Also it seems as of late that Amy is main fill-in for Robin once again instead of Lara, anyone else notice this?

MorningNews 1540 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Yeah looking at the trends the Today Show catches up to GMA the weeks that Lara is filling in. She reportedly got it worked into her contract that she would fill in for Robin M-W while Amy took over Thursday and Friday. It doesn't even make sense that they would put her at the anchor seat instead of Amy when Amy is 1000x better at anchoring than Lara. All this just to say, Lara is good at what she does which is fluff entertainment spots. I can't take her seriously when she's interviewing presidential candidates about important topics or anything else serious.
wabceyewitness 829 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I like Lara but not as a main anchor for the 7am hour. Honestly, her agent played the cards right when renegotiating. Sam Champion had left just a few months prior, Josh Elliot was on the verge of bolting for NBC. So they caved to naming Lara an anchor to avoid the appearance of everyone jumping ship. Not that Her leaving would've meant many viewers leaving but the bad press would not have helped the show's momentum.
USNewsie 50 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 I don't know if this is the right place to ask or if it has been discussed before, but why Ron Clairborne never fill in during the week? This past week Paula and Dan alternated as newsreader while Amy was in for Robin. I have never seen Ron on the weekday show.
MorningNews 1540 Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Someone has shared their theory as to why somewhere on here before but I can't find it anywhere. You are correct though, in the 11 years since Ron has been apart of Weekend GMA I can't recall one time that I've seen him on the weekday edition
todayshowproducer 25 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I really love the new opening and graphics... All except the L3. Those are the most awful things ever. Overall, its a good change for GMA

ns8401 965 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Before GMA1.JPG After GMA2.JPG Wahoo for slightly different shades of color... And 2 bands instead of 3.
mountainave 612 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Before GMA1.JPG After GMA2.JPG I personally prefer the older L3 only because I prefer a stronger distinction between the headline and subheading. The new L3s don't really provide that. Just looks like two lines of text.
Action Newsroom 1313 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 Looking at them now, I agree in that I like and prefer the older one too. The former had some nice edge, use of color and was a nice soft and smooth look. This is less. The boxy look is a little cheap, the one line doesn't work and the font somehow looks terrible under it. And the new time/temp bug (where everything is crammed in) looks awful. I now think in hindsight that this L3 change was a mistake.
MidwestTV 1263 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I hate both the old and new looks equally as much, but if I had to choose one then it would be the old L3's. The roundness of them looks better and it's easier to discern the different lines of text (in my opinion). The new ones seem slightly reminiscent of Today.
24994J 5664 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I like the new open and headline tease better. The 8am L3s are better than the old and the new. The new color scheme is better than the old.
DanielMaron 5 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Looks like it might not be happening in the end... http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/06/25/espn-nixes-mike-mike-move/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=FBPost

TVNewsLover 800 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Ginger Zee announces she is pregnant, due in december Rob Marciano will probably handle weekday duties while she's on maternity leave, while the affiliates will pitch in on weekends with their weather people.
Action Newsroom 1313 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 Ginger Zee announces she is pregnant, due in December Congratulations to her and her husband. Their family is going to be even more special.
Glimmer 283 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 In true 'Hell freezes over' fashion, ABC is said to be in talks with NBC and Josh Elliott to buy out the remaining two years of his contract at the peacock and return him to GMA in his former newsreader role, perhaps as early as September. Everyone involved is denying it right now, but it wouldn't be on Variety if there wasn't a germ of truth to it. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/josh-elliott-in-talks-to-return-to-good-morning-america-exclusive-1201552833/

Paula Faris joins 'The View', and leaves the weekend show, despite previous reports. Amy moves to the weekend show (yes, demoted). Josh returns to the main show. Strahan/Palmer/both exit the show. I will say, despite his now-legendary ego, Josh was a really good fit on the show. He had a fantastic on-air with each member of the team. Of course, his bromance with Sam was strongest, but he had a great sibling-like goofy side with Lara, a similar ascent into news that endeared him to Robin, and Josh was literally the anti-George for good balance, but with enough journalistic chops to hold his own. A return might just be what the doctor ordered.

Amy is too popular to be demoted to weekends and basically she's in line to take over for Robin she leaves. and Josh is never coming back to GMA. It was some bad blood when he left so that's that. If your plans happen, they would be in jeopardy to becoming number 2 again and they wouldn't want that to happen.
