How long do we predict that GMA3 will keep the  "What You Need to Know” part of their title?

Well, it's been two years since they adopted that portion of the name since the show debuted exactly two years ago last week. The got rid of "Pandemic" in the title in June of 2020. So, maybe we'll see them drop the longer title by then, if we're lucky? Either way, looks like news and talk are taking a hit right now particularly the daytime shows. Cable is thriving.
