According to a report from CNN’s Oliver Darcy, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are negotiating their exits from GMA3.
The anchors of Good Morning America’s third hour have been embroiled in a monthslong controversy after a reported romantic relationship between the anchors was revealed. The pair — who are each separately married — have remained off the air since the relationship was uncovered by The Daily Mail.
ABC News has reportedly been negotiating with the anchors this week about an amicable exit, with talks advancing “to the final stages”.
One source told Darcy that blame lies at the feet of both the anchors and ABC.
“There is a lot of frustration on all sides that it could have been handled better,” the source claimed.
A December report from The Confider claimed that ABC News staffers had grown tired of the coverage and the actions of the anchors, with one source saying “It’s an f—ed-up situation and there’s probably going to have to be some sacrificial lambs.”
After Robach and Holmes were temporarily removed from their positions, GMA3 saw a slight decrease in viewership.
