'GMA' co-anchors, crew say goodbye to Times Square

"Good Morning America" is officially bidding farewell to Times Square Studios, our New York City home for the past 26 years. "GMA" co-anchors Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos took viewers behind the scenes for one final look at the stage, studio and even their dressing rooms before America's No. 1 morning show moves to a brand-new studio downtown. When Roberts walked to set Friday, she couldn't help but tear up at the co-anchors' home base, a special place that has become like a second home for her and the crew. For Friday's final broadcast from Times Square, ABC News chief meteorologist and chief climate correspondent Ginger Zee made sure to don a meaningful summer dress, the one she wore for her first show back in 2011. 'GMA' takes a final bow with a look back at Broadway's best Meanwhile, Strahan and Stephanopoulos took "GMA" fans backstage for a peek inside their dressing rooms, which were filled with countless memories and pictures. "For me, the biggest thing would be pictures," Strahan said. "I have so many great memories here in pictures. This is one of my favorites. It's superimposed George Stephanopoulos dancing, because he refuses to dance on the show." Stephanopoulos, who said he was "really, really, really going to miss" his Times Square office and dressing room, also said the photos displayed there were really what made the whole space extra special. "I'm going to try not to cry right now, because you see, if you come inside the office right now, it's filled with pictures of my kids," Stephanopoulos said. "When I started here at TSS, my girls were 7 and 4. Now, they're all grown up. Elliot graduated from college. Harper's a sophomore at Vanderbilt [University]. We have a lot of great pictures of them." With "GMA" moving downtown, the co-anchors and crew will get the chance to start fresh. Where is 'Good Morning America' moving to? "GMA" is moving to a new home studio in the Hudson Square neighborhood, inside the Walt Disney Company's New York City headquarters at the Robert A. Iger building. When is the first air date from the new studio? "GMA" will broadcast from the new Hudson Square studio, Studio C, for the first time on the morning of June 16.

Ticker: ESPN's New York Shows Are on the Move

Top of the Ticker: ESPN is joining Good Morning America and ABC News' other programming at Disney's 7 Hudson Square HQ in Manhattan. The Disney-owned sports network is moving its New York-based shows from their perch at Seaport Studios, where they've been since 2018. Get Up will be the first show to air out of the new space on June 9, followed by First Take on June 23, alongside ESPN Radio's signature morning show UnSportsmanLike. New Promo: Meanwhile, GMA has debuted a new promo campaign that marks the start of its 50th anniversary celebrations. Titled 'Coming Home,' the promo features co-anchors Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, and Michael Strahan-as well as the show's extended family-visiting their respective hometowns. The promo could also be viewed as an indirect nod to the show's move from Times Square to its new home at 7 Hudson Square sometime this summer. Pride Celebrations: Speaking of ABC News, the network has announced programming initiatives to celebrate Pride Month. Airing across all dayparts and properties, coverage will feature reporting, interviews, and features highlighting people, stories, and issues important to the LGBTQ+ community. C-Span: C-SPAN debuted a refreshed on-air graphics look across its networks this week. 'Our new look was designed in-house with internal feedback as well as a review of comments from viewers over the years,' executive producer Paul Brown said in a statement provided to TVNewser. 'One of our primary goals was to enhance brand consistency by creating a unified look that eventually will run across all our platforms.' Brown also noted that C-SPAN's last major graphics occurred back in 2018. Increased tech coverage: Bloomberg is launching two new monthly tech programs, broadening its global coverage with region-specific offerings. Bloomberg Tech: Europe, anchored by Tom Mackenzie, debuts on June 13 at 1:30 a.m. ET; and Bloomberg Tech: Asia, co-anchored by Shery Ahn and Annabelle Droulers, premieres on June 27 at 8:30 p.m. ET. These programs complement the existing Bloomberg Tech, which airs at 11 a.m. ET, and recently unveiled a refreshed format with new branding and graphics.
