You would think ABC can replace GMA Day with a daytime Pyramid right now if it wanted to, but will other matters come into play, like demographics?

Or the simple fact that you can't use primetime ratings as a comparison with daytime ratings...completely different audiences with totally different expectations...

Much as I'd love to see a game with daytime and prime time editions, who says it has to be Pyramid, or even a revival for that matter?

That said, I imagine ABC will keep GMA Day, because it creates inexpensive in-house entertainment. Same reason I doubt NBC will ever give up any of its Today hours, much as I'd love to see the 10:00 and 1:00 hour go to new games.

Bumping this up to note this little nugget from Deadline, which notes that Fox tried to outbid Disney/ABC earlier this year to be the main syndication hub for WOF/J!  …

With the "New Fox" (made up of the Fox Network, Fox News Channel and the O&Os) becoming official soon, we're seeing the group becoming a bit more aggressive in recent years picking up shows for the Fall 2019 season, green-lighting "25 Words or Less" and Kelly Clarkson's talk show, as well as getting "Extra" from NBCU.
