They have included figures such as Lara Spencer, Will Reeve, Gio Benitez, Sam Champion, Rachel Scott and James Longman. Status newsletter first reported on the exit of the two GMA3 hosts.
Last year, Karamehmedovic announced a cost-cutting restructuring of the news division that saw the exit of Cat McKenzieas executive producer, with Simone Swink, executive producer of Good Morning America, taking over supervision of the show. The strategy has been to capitalize on the viewer familiarity with Good Morning America in the GMA3 hour.
GMA3 has gone through a number of host and format changes through the years. It started as GMA Day in 2018, hosted by Michael Strahan and Sara Haines. During Covid, it focused on the pandemic with the title What You Need to Know, and later evolved into GMA: What You Need to Know.
Morgan and Pilgrim have hosted the show since 2023, when they, along with Jennifer Ashton, succeeded Amy Robach and TJ Holmes. Ashton departed the network last year.
