By Chris Ariens 

“Good Morning America” has won its first February Sweep in 20 years and had its biggest Sweeps win over NBC’s “Today” show in more than 21 years, since November 1991.

Now a solid #1 in the mornings and with an added boost brought by the Oscars and Robin Roberts’ return, “GMA” was up +7% vs. the November 2012 Sweep.

#3 “CBS This Morning” also improved from the February 2012 Sweep: up +15% in Total Viewers and up +6% in younger viewers.
