Good Morning America Weekend


Good Morning America Weekend is an American morning television program that is broadcast on ABC. It is the Saturday and Sunday edition of Good Morning America, with the regular Monday through Friday edition currently being hosted by Robin Roberts, George Stephanopolous, Michael Strahan, and ABC News chief meteorologist Ginger Zee.
The first weekend edition of Good Morning America premiered on January 3, 1993, airing only on Sundays; it was hosted at various points by Willow Bay, Aaron Brown, John Hockenberry, Dana King, Lisa McRee, Antonio Mora, Kevin Newman and Bill Ritter. The program was cancelled on February 28, 1999.
In August 2010, Bill Weir left the weekend edition to become co-anchor of Nightline; Marysol Castro left the show the following month. While Dan Harris officially took over as Weir's replacement that October, meteorologists from various ABC affiliates across the country filled in to provide the national weather segments for over a year after Castro's departure; eventually in November 2011, Ginger Zee, who previously served as a meteorologist at NBC O&O WMAQ-TV in Chicago, was appointed as weather anchor for the weekend editions. After Zee was promoted to weather anchor of the weekday edition of Good Morning America in December 2013, the program returned to having ABC affiliate meteorologists to substitute on the Saturday and Sunday editions, until ABC announced the appointment of Rob Marciano as full-time weekend weather anchor in July 2014, effective that September.
In July 2014, Bianna Golodryga announced she would be leaving ABC to take a correspondent role at Yahoo News. Paula Faris was named as Golodryga's replacement as weekend co-anchor.
On October 5, 2019, the Saturday edition of GMA expanded to two hours , with around 100 affiliates carrying the full program in some form by the end of the year. The expansion comes as the FCC's reforms of regulations of children's television programming will allow stations to carry Litton's Weekend Adventure in the 6 a.m. local timeslot, opening up the time period once the college football season ends.
On August 8, 2021, Dan Harris announced that he would be leaving ABC News. His last day was on September 26, 2021. Janai Norman would be the replacement for Dan Harris in July 2022. On May 11, 2023, Gio Benitez would officially replace Eva Pilgrim, as she had been selected to be one of the new co-hosts for GMA3: What You Need to Know'' alongside DeMarco Morgan and Dr. Jennifer Ashton to replace T. J. Holmes and Amy Robach, who had both been fired from ABC News in January 2023 due to a romantic scandal they had been involved in.
