"It&amp;apos;s round number 1,999 of Morning Show Musical Chairs.  Good Morning America is saying goodbye to co-anchor Josh Elliot, who is joining NBC Sports, ABC announced in a Sunday, March 30 memo. Replacing Elliot, age, as co-anchor alongside Lara Spencer, Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos, is Amy Robach.\r\n\r\nIn an unusually frank memo, ABC News president Ben Sherwood revealed that negotiations with Elliot simply broke down. &amp;quot;We worked hard to close a significant gap between our generous offer and his expectations,&amp;quot; Elliot writes. &amp;quot;Josh felt he deserved a different deal and so he chose a new path.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAdded Sherwood of Robach, who shared her breast cancer with viewers last year:  &amp;quot;We always knew Amy was special and we have all been especially inspired to watch her battle breast cancer with grace and determination . . .Indeed, she thrilled us with two weeks of memorable dispatches from Sochi anchoring our Olympic coverage ... all between chemo treatments.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;Amy will be a fierce, formidable full-time addition to our GMA team.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nLara Spencer, meanwhile, reportedly signed a multi-year contract with the top-rated show -- which famously overtook The Today Show in ratings in 2012 -- just a few days ago.   Longtime meteorologist Sam Champion left the series late last year for a Weather Channel gig.\r\nTell Us: Will you miss Josh?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
