ABC News will now guide the popular daytime talk show, Tamron Hall. ABC News President Kim Godwin notified Tamron Hall staffers of the shift in operation on Friday through an online memo.
“Since the show’s launch, Tamron and her team have delivered award-winning, empowering stories that have covered celebrity interviews, topical and hard-hitting issues. Their thought-provoking segments have provided daytime viewers with entertainment, news and information, delivered by a distinguished and celebrated broadcast journalist,” Godwin wrote, according to Variety.
“Given that, and the fact that Tamron’s show is produced in our building, moving it to ABC News will create great opportunities for collaboration and partnership.”
Operating daytime talk shows is not foreign to the news division. Since 2014, ABC News has operated The View. More recently, the division launched a third hour of Good Morning America that falls closer to talk show format. Not to mention, they also ran Strahan, Sara and Keke until it was canceled last year.
Tamron Hall is also familiar with the ABC News team. Earlier this year, Hall co-hosted portions of Soul of a Nation, a limited series about the intersections of race, gender, income, class, religion and education.
Moving forward, Candi Carter will continue to serve as the program’s showrunner and Hall will continue to work as an executive producer.
