> [@jcb301176](#): > > Tarnish Today as a serious news and entertainment service like it did with GMA under Bert Newton. It felt like a 2 hour+ of infomercials You’re not comparing apples with apples. _GMA_ was not the same program when it changed. _GMA_ 2.0 was not a news program as _GMA_ 1.0 was. Different timeslot, different host, different city, even. And even _GMA_ 1.0 was not exactly hard hitting news or current affairs, it was fairly lightweight stuff. And _GMA_ with Bert was also very successful, lasting for 14 years, longer than _GMA_ 1.0 had done. Yes it had a certain focus on infomercials but that wasn’t its only selling point and infomercials were nothing new for daytime TV, which had been doing that sort of thing for years, and it turned a tidy profit to Ten for many years. It was a success story at a time when Ten didn’t have much to cheer about.
