Diane Sawyer Leaving Good Morning America For The World News!
Diane Sawyer is leaving ABC's Good Morning America for bigger and better things!
Sawyer will be taking the place of ABC World News anchor Charles Gibson starting in January, when he retires!
What will this mean for GMA? And their ratings!
Diane is the second female anchor ever to make the move from daytime to nighttime - the first was Katie Couric when she left NBC's Today for CBS' Evening News back in 2006.
ABC News President David Westin has shared some positively glowing remarks about Sawyer with the press, stating that Diane "is the right person to succeed Charlie and build on what he has accomplished."
Westin's raving continued: "She has an outstanding and varied career in television journalism, beginning with her role as a State Department correspondent and continuing at 60 Minutes, Primetime Live, and Good Morning America."
Impressive!
Weston says Sawyer will "continue with her documentaries" on World News and believes the network is "fortunate" to have a journalist of Diane's caliber joining the World News team.
Congrats!

Let the leftist propaganda continue!!!
One comment:
Couric's going DOWN! Kudos to Sawyer!!!!
shes running on fumes anyways!
Ugh. At least it's not that annoying Robin Roberts. They're both disgustingly fake.
…I wonder if she will have as many hair style changes as Katy?
Re: jaqyfine – …nope. First!

Really?!? So does that make Barbara Walters a Tranny. Seriously Mario! Are you even trying anymore? Everyone knows Babs moved from the Today show on NBC to Anchor the news on ABC in THE 70'S! Put a little effort in eh? You make Carrie Prejean and Aubrey O'Day loom like Rocket Scientists.
Look at the new Katie Couric except much worse
Re: buck – Sawyer isn't leftist, she got her start in the Nixon administration, if anything she is slightly right of center.
I love charlie gibso but I still miss peter jennings cheating ass, he was the absolute best
she's cool, good for her!
Congrats Diane!
I have too agree with the poster that said Robin Roberts is propably a big faker but not Diane.
Is Robin ever going to come out of the closet?!
I love Charlie Gibson! I can't believe he is retiring?? He just got this job didn't he? It feels like that. I will definitely watch Diane Sawyer though, I love her.
Oh I love her. It's about time!
I need to say my piece; I'd fuck her. I'd so do her. She's hot. She straddles the line between milf and gilf, I know.
Anyway, Diane Sawyer = hot older lady.
GOOD FOR HER!!!

I ALWAYS CALL OUT PEREZ WHEN NECESSARY, BUT BABA WAWA WAS A *CO*ANCHOR.
.
VERY FAMOUSLY A *CO*ANCHOR WITH HUGH DOWNS WHO WAS A TOTAL PR*CK ON AIR ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE HAD TO SHARE THE DESK WITH A WOMAN.
DIANE SAWYER IS GONE FROM MORNING TV - THANK FUCK. THIS OVER AGED BOURGOISE ANNOYING COLD BIOTCH NEVER HAD THE GRACES TO MIX IN WITH THE FANS DURING REIGN ON GMA. NO ONE WATCHES ABC WORLD NEWS AND WONT BE MISSING YA. DONT LET THE DOOR HIT UR OLD ASS ON UR WAY OUT. BRING IN SOME NEW BLOOD! YOU KNOW IT.
She'll be great. LOVE LOVE LOVE that more women will be top news anchors. She's worked int he biz for so long, and it's aobut time!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO….I love her on GMA. Her, Robin Roberts, Chris Cuomo & Sam Champion are the BEST!!!!! They have great chemistry together. I can always tell when one of them is on vacation or on assignment. It doesn't feel the same when 1 of them is gone. Can she do both???? Better yet please stay on GMA. It just won't be the same without her. She's going to become a fudy dudy on World News. She's fun on GMA.
I wonder if that talentless moron is gonna ask people about their sexual lives on tv. I hate that narrow minded,prejudiced bitch.I hope her show flops miserably. I wonder if bastard bashir will be the next one to be upgraded.And who the hell watches abc news?
She'll do much better than Katie Couric, but, really, just what primetime news needed - another woman! Primetime news will tank all the way around.
FOXNEWS rules, baby!!!!
Who the hell cares? Get this ignorant hoe off of television, PERIOD!
Re: A Voice of Sanity – Anybody who watches the assholes on FN cannot claim to be sane.Go get a brain cells implant,moron.It's about time that women share their stupidity and lack of talent on tv with their male counterparts who have been doing that forever.We've had enough of male idiots as anchors.They just could have picked another less racist and judgmental woman instead.
Bravo Diane Sawyer!
Congrats on a great promotion!
I will watch!
Good for Diane, bad for morning TV. I love Diane and Robin together on GMA. Personally I cant stand Today with Roker and Lauer they annoy me. As for anchors Brian William is a cool guy, seen his SNL episode? He was better than most of the "actors" they have on.
Congrats to Diane! She's truly a professional…
She is great on GMA! Did not know Charlie was leaving. Everyone knows that Mel Gibson is his cousin. Mel and Charlie's fathers are brothers. Mel's father took him to live in AUS. Good luck Charlie. Diane now this is a true professional. Good luck girl.
I totally miss Charlie on GMA with Diane and Robin, they all had good chemistry together, and now he's leaving his show to retire? Boo. And now Diane is leaving GMA? That's gonna suck. I hate all the other morning shows. Double boo!!
Charlie Gibson? Not so much anymore. He has grown blatantly biased over the last few years… so much so that I believe he has lost his journalistic integrity. However, he's always been a likable guy. Just not objective in his anchoring or reporting the news.
