Excerpting from this TV Guide Q&A with new Good Morning America senior EP Jim Murphy:
| MURPHY: …We’re trying something new by being the first people to go with two women [Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts] anchoring the broadcast…. They are exceptional broadcasters, and we have to build the rest of the team around them. Is it guaranteed to work? No. But we’re going to try, and if it works, we’ll make a difference and be considered very special people. TVGuide.com: So the plan is to keep Diane and Robin, and the males will be added in the news and weather roles? Murphy: Well, we’re not sure about news and weather. We have people here whom we’re watching closely and thinking about. Hopefully we’ll make those decisions soon. TVGuide.com: You’ll have them in place by the fall? Murphy: By September, yes. |
