When you visit New York City, a delightful activity to consider is attending “Good Morning America” (GMA) live at its Times Square studio. Simply select your desired date and request tickets online for a chance to be part of the audience.
Since its debut in 1975, ABC’s popular morning show has captivated audiences with a blend of news, weather updates, human interest stories, and pop culture segments. GMA competes closely with NBC’s “Today Show,” frequently alternating in ratings. Notably, “Good Morning America” has ranked as the most-watched morning show in total viewers every year since summer 2012.
Audiences appreciate the charm of the current hosts: Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Michael Strahan, entertainment anchor Lara Spencer, and weather anchor Ginger Zee. The show’s legacy includes past hosts such as David Hartman, Nancy Dussault, and Diane Sawyer.
