Diane Sawyer stepping down from ABC anchor role

And will concentrate on specials and interviews. She'll be replaced as anchor on the news by David Muir. George Stephanopoulos will be chief anchor for live events.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

She should make a good replacement for Walters.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

I really like both David Muir and George. I think they both would have done great as anchors.

I have always liked Diane Sawyer. David Muir and George S do a great job also. I would think George would like to get off GMA now that its like an Entertainment Tonight.

I read a few weeks ago that George just signed a new, long term contract with GMA. Maybe he did because he was given the Chief Anchor for Live Events along with it. I'm a huge George fan. I think he's a great talent. ABC had 2 great choices to replace Diane.

That doesn't surprise me. I assume she's 70 something, it's time to hand the seat over to someone younger.

I really like Diane, but David will be alright too. I will admit, though, that I do n't watch every night. I feel like no channel just calmly reports the news, they honk it all up and use drama galore for the ratings.

She's 68- will be 69 in December.
