ABC News is facing a challenging period as "CBS Mornings" narrows the ratings gap with ABC's flagship morning show "Good Morning America," Page Six reported Tuesday.
Reports suggest that ABC News executives are concerned as "CBS Mornings" makes gains, particularly in some key demographics. The development comes amid speculation that ABC News president Kim Godwin may be departing.
As their momentum continues, CBS has spared no expense highlighting its recent morning show ratings. Notably, the network's morning show is leading with males 25-54 for the 20th time this season and surpassing "GMA" in the women 25-54 demographic as of Feb. 7.
These milestones have intensified discussions about the leadership at ABC News, with a source confirming deliberations over whether to renew Godwin's contract, which is due to expire this spring.
ABC's response to CBS's momentum has been to downplay the situation, as one spokesperson puts it, "There is no panic. 'GMA' is still No. 1 and has been for 12 seasons in a row."
