From the late 1960s throughout the 1970s, the "CBS Morning News" aired as a straight one-hour morning newscast that had a high rate of turnover among its anchors. In January 1979, the network launched the innovative "___day Morning" series, which focused more on lifestyle and feature reports; this format, however, was relegated exclusively to Sundays after two years, and still airs under the title "CBS News Sunday Morning". It was not until 1982 that "Captain Kangaroo" ended its run on weekdays (before ending altogether in 1984), allowing CBS to expand its morning show to a full two hours. However, the high rate of turnover among anchors returned. An ill-fated comedic revamp of the show, "The Morning Program", debuted in 1987. After that, however, came "This Morning", which has so far had the longest run of any of CBS' morning show attempts. "This Morning" was eventually cancelled 12 years later, being replaced by "The Early Show" in 1999; "The Early Show", in turn, ceded to the new version of "CBS This Morning" (this time featuring a format focused more on hard news and interviews, excising lifestyle and infotainment segments) in January 2012. ABC was a latecomer to the morning show competition. Instead of carrying a national show, it instead adopted the "AM" franchise introduced by many of its local stations in 1970. KABC-TV's "AM Los Angeles" launched the national career of Regis Philbin and was a direct predecessor to his syndicated talk show "Live!" "AM Chicago" on WLS-TV would later evolve into "The Oprah Winfrey Show". "The Morning Exchange" on WEWS was Cleveland's entry into the franchise; with its light format, ABC (after a brief but failed effort to launch the Los Angeles version nationally as "AM America") launched a national program based closely on the format of "The Morning Exchange" in November 1975 under the title "Good Morning America". "GMA" has traditionally run in second place (ahead of CBS but behind "Today"), but has surpassed "Today" in the ratings a few times in its history (first in the early 1980s, then from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s and again regularly since 2012). Since the 1980s, "Live!" (now hosted by Kelly Ripa) has been produced and distributed by ABC's syndication arm, primarily for ABC stations (although not exclusively, as it is carried on stations affiliated with other networks), but produced by ABC's New York City owned-and-operated station, WABC-TV.
