Stephanopoulos: I want Diane's Job
As FTVLive has told you, the Anchors of Good Morning America are all in contract renewal talks.
FTVLive was the FIRST to tell you that GMA lost one of their stars when Sam Champion decided to go to NBC owned The Weather Channel.
So what about the rest?
Word is that Robin Roberts contract is all done and she is staying at GMA. Her contract only needs a couple of signatures and it will be put to bed. One sources tells FTVLive that it could be a done deal by the end of the week. If not it will be soon.
But, what about George?
Word is that Roberts' sidekick George Stephanopoulos' contract is further away from being signed.
Stephanopoulos is ready to move off mornings and that is something ABC does not want. With them just losing Champion, they don't want to rock the boat and have Stephanopoulos leave the show as well.
Word is that Stephanopoulos is willing to stay on mornings for the near future, but he wants replace Diane Sawyer when she leaves. And he wants it in writing!
That right now is the big sticking point between Stephanopoulos and ABC.
Stay tuned...
