Recruiting A Male For GMA: Westin Looks At Ritter, Weir, Cuomo (And Cooper?)

By Brian 

With World News Tonight taken care of, David Westin‘s priority is to recruit a male personality to fill the newsreader position on GMA, Variety reports.

“Three broadcasters in particular are expected to be showcased in Mr. Gibson’s absence,” today’s NYT says. “They are Bill Ritter, an anchor on WABC-TV in New York and a correspondent on 20/20; Bill Weir, a co-anchor of the weekend edition of Good Morning America; and Chris Cuomo, a legal affairs reporter for the network. ABC is also said to be interested in Anderson Cooper, who is the host of his own program on CNN, but who is under a long-term contract.”
