I have been watching GMA since its debut back in the 70s. I record it now that I am retired on the likelihood that I will sleep in. I love the show and the anchors and correspondents. One thing that I became aware of while watching the recorded version is that there are only 18-20 minutes of news in the first half hour, followed by commercials until the local cut-in. Then after that there is precious real news, only features (which I enjoy) and entertainment fluff which I don't, often blatant promotion of ABC or Disney projects. I realize that the interruption of commercials is vital to pay for the programming, but I hate having things shoved down my throat for self-promotion. I'm sure it won't change but I had to speak my peace.
