TJ Holmes and Amy Robach, the hosts of ABC’s flagship morning program “Good Morning America,” will depart ABC News at the third hour, network president Kim Godwin revealed in a statement to staff Friday night.
Godwin wrote in the email obtained by CNN,
“I know this has been a distraction for many of us, but let’s not forget all the great work that continues to make ABC News the No. 1 news network in America, and it’s because of you,” “I want to thank you again for your patience and professionalism during this time.”
“After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and TJ Holmes about various options, we all agreed that it is best for everyone that they leave ABC News,” an ABC News spokeswoman said in a statement Friday night. “We recognize their talent and dedication over the years and are grateful for their contributions.”
According to someone familiar with the situation, the network negotiated a departure with Holmes and Robach this week. Those negotiations were concluded on Friday.

The person indicates that there is a lot of dissatisfaction that it could have been handled better on both sides. Their departure follows Holmes and Robach’s removal from the airwaves last month after a Daily Mail report claimed the two were allegedly dating.
Godwin said the anchors would remain off the air pending the findings of an internal probe in a memo circulated to network personnel at the time. Godwin asked employees not to “gossip” about the situation at work, describing it as an “internal and external distraction.” Robach and Holmes have been replaced on “GMA3” by a rotating roster of hosts while the duo has remained off the air.
