EXCLUSIVE — ABC’S NEVER-ENDING SAGA: GMA3 lovebirds T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach are now officially gone from ABC, but the fallout within the network continues. News boss Kim Godwin is now on thin ice with Disney executives over her and her team’s handling of the affair—and she’s rapidly losing the confidence of the newsroom, six senior ABC News staffers told Confider. For starters, employees are quick to recall how soon after the tryst was first revealed, Godwin confidently wrote in a memo that the relationship was “not a violation of company policy,” a declaration that has left the newsroom scratching its collective head now that Robach—who was well-liked and, unlike Holmes, did not have other alleged office trysts—has been given the boot. Staffers noted that with Robach gone and Cecilia Vega having defected to 60 Minutes, the GMA talent bench has thinned out to a troubling degree. ABC bookers are now in a pickle because Robach was the network’s go-to choice to conduct the more controversial interviews that Robin Roberts passes on for fear of tainting her “brand,” insiders told us. Interestingly, two people familiar with the matter said Roberts was among those pushing for Robach and Holmes’ exit. Ultimately, the monthslong scandal was a “self-inflicted wound” for Godwin, multiple ABC staffers remarked, as her initially lackadaisical memo and inability to make a decision allowed a two-day story to spiral into two months of salacious headlines and seemingly nonstop PR crises. “She doesn’t understand the organization and she has surrounded herself with incompetent people,” one dismayed ABC News staffer said. Confider has further learned that, amid all this turmoil, Disney global security has been interviewing staffers as part of a hunt for leakers within the network—an extraordinary move for a news outlet that relies on anonymous sources and leaks. Reps for ABC News and Disney declined to comment.

Not sure what Good Morning America’s problem is. There are literally dozens of candidates dying for a chance at getting a big anchor gig. Pick out a couple charismatic ones and try them. Just don’t give them an expensive contract unless you know they’re going to work out. Geez, it’s not rocket science!

I'm not a fan of Robin (sorry, I know she had cancer) and don't know who else is on there

Her PR is on point. When all fail, here comes the tears.
OTOH, Joe Scarborough and Meeka had their affair on air and ended staying and are more popular than ever.
@sdkitty, why don’t you like Robin?

were Joe and meeka married?
I don't have any logical reason for not liking Robin. I just dont find her appealing; KWIM? If you were to compare morning TV "anchors" (or whatever you call these people), I like Gayle King better and used to like Norah O'Donnell when she was on.

Girl, they were married, had an affair, and divorced their respective spouse.
He had the nerve to publish in the divorce papers that Meeka was not his mistress.:rolleyes:
I don’t know how she does it. Hopefully, he shuts up sometimes.

As far as Robin, super confident women are sometimes hard to handle….
She became more likable when she introduced her partner.
As it is hard for women from that generation to come out. J/S.
Norah got on my nerves for the longest time and then I listened to a candid interview and she totally won me over.
Gayle is Gayle:lol:
My fav right now is Savannah. I stan for a compétent and outspoken woman.
