NEW YORK (AP) — ABC’s “Good Morning America” is expanding to a third hour — and swallowing “The Chew” to make room.
The network said Wednesday the new third hour will air at 1 p.m. Eastern, which is often the spot for the cooking show. “GMA” starts at 7 a.m.
“The Chew” has aired for seven seasons. ABC didn’t reveal when the third hour of “GMA” will begin, but said “The Chew” episodes will air as planned until September.
Thank you so much to the most amazing fans in the world for your outpouring of love and support. It has been such a privilege to have you share your stories of how @thechew has been a small part of your lives for the past seven years. I might need another box of tissues now! https://t.co/89Cz43htFg

Says Ben Sherwood, president of Disney/ABC Television: “We believe there is great opportunity for viewers and advertisers in expanding to a third hour.”

I love GMA to watch Robin. Bit Michael is so irritating trying to hit up the entire show.
