So, just an interesting question I suppose.

You can vote twice.  One for the morning, and one of the evening.  Make sence?

If you voted other, feel free to explain what you watch.

I watch Good Morning America almost every morning, and World News once in a while.  I used to watch the TODAY show..but I can't stand Ann Curry and Meredith Viera.

I voted other. I don't really care much for national news. I just look at local news. Though every now and then I'd watch ABC's World News Tonight, Nightline, or 20/20.

I use to watch Good Morning America up until 2005 when I moved and started leaving school before 7AM. I really don't like how that show is like these days anyway now that Charles Gibson and Tony Perkins left.

I'm glad that Diane and Robin are the hosts of GMA.  IT was definately better with Charlie there, but I like Charlie better on World News.

I watch the Today show and NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. Though I'd much rather see Katie Couric sitting next to Matt on Today, Meredith does a decent job too. And of course Al Roker is always funny. And on the evenig news I think Brian Williams is an outstanding anchor. Probably the best of the big three.

I like Charlie better than Brian.  When Elizabeth Vargus was doing World News, I was watching Brian Williams.  He is a good anchor, and a great replacement for Tom Brokaw.  Tom is my friends uncle, btw.

Why that's interesting.

I like Charlie better on ABC World news. IMO, when Charlie was on GMA, I thought 3 anchors would just be too much. :wacko:

Al Roker is on that show? I like him. I watch his shows sometimes on the Food Network.

I don't watch national news, ever. Only local.
