Diane Sawyer's departure from Good Morning America to anchor ABC World News has not cost GMA any viewers. In fact, during the first week after George Stephanopoulos succeeded Sawyer, the show gained viewers, cutting the gap between it and NBC's Today show among younger viewers to the smallest it has been since last August while also narrowing the gap among total viewers. The Today show remained well ahead in both categories however, drawing an average of 5.67 million viewers to GMA's 4.49 million. CBS's The Early Show remained a distant third, averaging 2.83 million viewers. Among adults 25-54, NBC was on top with 2.45 million viewers to GMA's 1.91 million. The Early Show drew 1.20 million.
