Members KMan101 Posted April 22, 2016 Members Share Posted April 22, 2016 Ah, ok. Thanks. I mean, to do all this and possibly want a third hour for just that? Ben Sherwood is not the right choice to run ABC IMHO at all. It's like they hire execs to deliberately sabotage things. Like Frons. It's sad. It's disgusting how much money these people have but why do you care and why do you know so much about her? Lord take a chill pill bro. I do agree about the third hour bombing. Two hours is plenty. I don't need Lara and Strahan hamming it up for an hour. No one cares like they think they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted April 22, 2016 Members Share Posted April 22, 2016 I would imagine that whatever ratings Today gets in the 9am and 10am hours are better and cheaper than any talk show (the last one being Leeza) or soap opera that would otherwise be airing there. Same location, same sets, same crew, and some of the same hosts. I'm sure that the cost for airing ads differs from hour to hour to hour to hour. My TiVo used to record only the first three hours and considered the final hour with Hoda/Kathee Lee as a separate one-hour show. That said, GMA doesn't need a 3rd hour. If they do go that route, I'm sure it'll still be profitable, but it'll make the network programming during the day even more of a wasteland of talk, talk, talk. Airhead hosts talking about the same damn "hot topics" from show to show. There's already too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 23, 2016 Members Share Posted April 23, 2016 I don't think we have. Someone should develop a series about the behind-the-scenes goings on at a GMA- or Today-like morning talk show. I think it would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted April 23, 2016 Members Share Posted April 23, 2016 To further fan the flames of a third hour of GMA, Ripa's contract is apparently up next year ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 23, 2016 Members Share Posted April 23, 2016 Has Matt Lauer truly recovered from the "Curry affair"? Or does the stigma remain? As the deadline.com article suggests, if and when Ripa DOES return to that chair, it is bound to make for some awkward television between her and Strahan. (Thanks, Carl, for the link!) Ironically, under different circumstances, the full-time move to GMA might have been perceived as a boost to GMA, to ABC, and to Strahan. But now...? They might recover from all this, but it's going to take some time. Just ask Matt Lauer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted April 23, 2016 Members Share Posted April 23, 2016 I read some article that claimed that Ripa told staff that she will return Tuesday. We shall see what happens then, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JONNYSBRO Posted April 24, 2016 Members Share Posted April 24, 2016 I wonder how big the ratings will be for Kellys return to the show. People are going to tune in out of curiousity. Probably big ratings returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JONNYSBRO Posted April 25, 2016 Members Share Posted April 25, 2016 Chit it's been all over the press I think people want to see her reaction. Why doesn't Kelly Ripa just lose the co host and make it Live with Kelly. Turn it into a solo talk show. She makes more money becomes the next Oprah. Chit they said Ripa contract up next year she wants between 30 to 35 million a year lmfao. Ripa will be worth over 200 million by time she's 50. A former soap actress turned rich.
