“Good Morning America” has
locked in anchor Lara Spencer with a new long-term deal, as Josh
Elliott continues negotiations to remain with the morning show with
weeks left on his contract.
Spencer's new agreement with the
morning show comes on the heels of a new agreement that will also keep
Spencer called the re-up a “simple decision.”
“You know you're in the right job
when getting up at 4 a.m. is a joy,” Spencer, who's been the show's
lifestyle anchor since 2011, said. “This was a simple decision; I love
what I do and I adore the people I work with. I am thrilled to be on
this team and look forward to many more years.”
“We couldn't be happier,” ABC News
senior vice president Jeffrey W. Schneider added. “Lara is a uniquely
gifted anchor at the top of her game. She brings so much energy, fun and
smarts to every single broadcast. She is beloved by our viewers with
good reason.”
“Good Morning America” has made
great strides in the past year, breaking the long-standing ratings
stranglehold that its NBC competitor, “Today,” has held, recently
winning its first full season in 20 years.
