They can change the anchors all they want, they've been in 3rd for decades now. None of the changes they do ever work. The only way they'll ever be 2nd or 1st is if TODAY & GMA start to free fall, and they can take advantage. But that Jeff Glor is a hottie though...

It is tough because Matt L is well liked. I never liked Meredith V so I switched after Katie left. I missed Katie. Anyway, I watched CBS and Morning Joe. Go figure. I really liked Maggie R so I do not understand their reasoning. Harry S is good also. I think it is just that people stick with Matt. I bet if he ever left ABC would become number 1 because people like George. ...I still like Erica Hill.

Gotta Love CBS for their many, many attempts at finding the right CBS Morning news anchors. I am old enough to remember this attempt back in 1973 (announced with great fanfare)

I guest since Y&R and B&B got saved, guess someone had to get the ax for moonbeam to get his jolly's. And Just before Christmas too. He would probably replace Rudolph with Charlie Sheen.

Erica Hill has to be the luckiest woman in the news business. In the space of a year she's gone from being newsreader on a poorly-rated cable show (AC360) to host of a network morning show.

I watch The Early Show and Harry Smith and Maggie Rodriguez are my favorites. I could do without Dave Price and Erica Hill is okay. While I think Jeff Glor will be good, I don't think the others will be good enough to keep me from switching to GMA.

I liked the show the way it was. I will miss Harry and Maggie.
