Chris Cuomo named news anchor of `GMA'

By FRAZIER MOORE, AP Television Writer

NEW YORK - Chris Cuomo will be working the early shift as news anchor
of "Good Morning America" starting next month.

Cuomo, who is also an anchor of ABC News' "Primetime," will begin his
dawn duties Sept. 5, joining anchors Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts at
the "GMA" studio in Times Square, ABC announced Monday.

Along with delivering "news block" reports throughout the weekday
broadcast, Cuomo will serve as principal substitute anchor, the network
said. He also will contribute news reports and travel to cover breaking
news.

Cuomo, 36, will remain at "Primetime," where he became co-anchor in
April 2004, and also continue as ABC News' senior legal correspondent.

He will relieve Roberts, who has continued her news-anchor role since
being promoted to an anchor of the broadcast in May 2005.

Before joining ABC News six years ago, Cuomo was a correspondent for
Fox News Channel and Fox network's "Fox Files." An attorney and a
native of New York, he is a son of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo.

Well THERE'S some miscasting if I've ever seen it! lol Then again, he
IS another starched shirt, a young one at that, so if they're looking
to insert a clone of Charlie Gibson, they've succeeded. Go get Debbie
Met-a-something (fired 'The View' host) to replace cracking Diane
Sawyer.
