While I'm certain a press release from ABC is being crafted at this very moment, our friend Brian Stelter at the NYT has the numbers early, and for the first time in over 16 years ABC's Good Morning America topped NBC's Today in average viewership for a week with 5.147 million viewers to 5.134 million viewers.
When CBS made changes to their morning show, I started watching Good Morning America.
ABC has been toutng “smallest margins within The Today Show” forever.
They finally beat it!
I can’t imagine the press release from Spin Masters
Maybe it’s viewer resentment against Matt Lauer’s new $25 million contract and the fact that sources within NBC say that Lauer wants Ann Curry gone.
And, maybe the GMA crowd WANTS Katie Couric in the morning. She could still do her syndicated show as Meredith Vierra did “Millionaire” as well as “Today.”
Regardless of who beat who, those are great numbers for both programs.
That’s what NBC gets for hiring Sarah Palin….what were they thinking????!!!!
no!!! Its news division is all NBC had left to be proud about):
Yawn…
