It's Musical Chairs Over At ABC As Diane Sawyer Gets Ready To Take On The Evening News

ABC is playing a bit of musical chairs as of late. As Charlie Gibson prepares to step down from anchoring the ABC evening news, GOOD MORNING AMERICA hostess Diane Sawyer is preparing to leave GMA to replace Gibson. But that's not all. George Stephanopoulos has reportedly been asked to host GMA, leaving a possible hole over at THIS WEEK WITH GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS for ABC to fill. Need a score card yet?

While this may sound like a complicated game of musical chairs, there are some reports of nasty office politics that further taint things. Some reports claim that Charlie Gibson is extremely unhappy at the choice of Sawyer to replace him. Some time ago, reports claim that a feud of sorts started with the two which has never healed.

Audiences have been very satisfied at both Gibson and Sawyer for their respective programs, so it is unlikely that any serious audience fall-out will occur as a result of switching anchors. However, the rumors of some nasty feelings between Gibson and Sawyer is indeed sad if true. Both are top flight anchors in their own right.
