An executive source with ABC News states that negotiations now exist between the network and George Stephanopoulos over the co-anchor spot on Good Morning America. Currently ABC’s political expert, Stephanopoulos has reportedly stated that he will take the job if it is offered. He has been considered the top contender to fill Diane Sawyer’s position on the popular morning show. Sawyer departed to take over the anchor job on World News.
The anonymous executive, who could not be identified due to the lack of authorization to speak on the issue, confirmed to the Washington Post that the “ball” was in his court to either turn down or accept the offer.
ABC would not comment on the report nor would reps from Stephanopoulos, who currently hosts the Sunday political talk show This Week and would move to New York if he accepts the position.
