By Chris Ariens 

morning-tv-tvnewser_2016Five years ago this week, Good Morning America broke the Today show’s 16-year streak as the most-watched network morning show.

Five years later, GMA is still No. 1, with a +5 percent lead on Today last week, while Today remains No. 1 in the demo, consistently winning in younger viewers since late 2015.

But both shows continue to lose viewers. In fact, in the last 5 years, GMA is down -18 percent in viewers and down -36 percent in the A25-54 demo. NBC’s Today show is down -21 percent in viewers and down -32 percent in the demo, since that week in April 2012, when it lost to ABC for the first time in 16 years.

NOTE: Good Morning America is based on 4 days last week, as it was retitled on Friday. Today and CTM are based on 5 days.
