She was named co-anchor of \u201cGood Morning America\u201d Weekend in 2022, joining Whit Johnson and Eva Pilgrim at the desk.<\/p>\n
Before landing the weekend role, Norman was a New York\u2013based correspondent and also anchored the early-morning programs \u201cWorld News Now\u201d and \u201cAmerica This Morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
She also hosted the \u201cPop News\u201d segment on weekends and helped launch the second hour of the Saturday edition of \u201cGMA\u201d in 2019.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining ABC News, Norman worked at local stations in Missouri, Oklahoma and Florida.<\/p>\n
The \u201cGMA\u201d franchise has undergone a series of high-profile shakeups in recent years, particularly across its third-hour program and weekend lineup.<\/p>\n

In 2023, the network installed DeMarco Morgan and Pilgrim as co-anchors of \u201cGMA3: What You Need to Know\u201d after the show was left without permanent hosts in the wake of the departures of Amy Robach and TJ Holmes.<\/p>\n
The same reshuffle saw Gio Benitez added to the weekend desk, expanding the co-anchor lineup as the network sought to stabilize the broadcast.<\/p>\n
ABC has also pushed the franchise beyond traditional TV, assigning its weekend anchors to streaming duties on ABC News Live as part of a broader shift toward digital platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A co-anchor of ABC\u2019s \u201cGood Morning America\u201d weekend edition is out after the Disney-owned network declined to renew…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":560435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[1855,9257,28,3716,88,88809,10815,92],"class_list":{"0":"post-560434","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-abc","9":"tag-abc-news","10":"tag-business","11":"tag-disney","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-good-morning-america","14":"tag-media","15":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/560435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
