Michael Strahan leaving Live with.... to join GMA full time and his partner Kelly Ripa is not happy about it.

Interesting to see how the latest ratings reversal is forcing ABC to shake things up while Today and NBC have stabilized.

Changes on Today. Natalie Morales will move to LA to become Access Hollywood co-anchor but she will stay on Today as ''West Coast Anchor'', whatever that means.

Quote:
The traditional news anchor role on "Today" is being phased out. Morales will not be replaced, NBC says.
Instead, co-hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie will continue to take the lead on news headlines.

I imagine it means that in the circumstance that an update to any news, e.g. breaking or developing, then Morales will do that from LA. At the moment, I understand the west coast feed is recorded and updates to reports & introductions to the reports are done by Guthrie & Lauer.
It may also mean that she is the go-to for any west coast stories.

From what I've read Natalie is essentially taking the lead on West Coast entertainment stories on 'most days' - which makes sense in terms of 'corporate synergy' with Entertainment Tonight. In terms of the Entertainment Tonight programmes, she's essentially swapping jobs with Billy Bush who's joining Today as a 9am co-host. Also, remember the likelihood is Willie or Tamron (assuming they stay on weekday Today) or Hoda can update the headlines if Matt and Savannah weren't available.
The most significant implication of Natalie leaving New York, as I see it, is there's one less journalist round the desk when Carson Daly (or likely Billy Bush in the future) fills in for Matt - leaving newsreading to an established journalist was one of the only things that gave that setup any credibility. Imagine now if Savannah's on location on a morning Carson's filling in, you're leaving an entertainment presenter to take the lead if there's breaking news. It's unimpressive that NBC hasn't been able to better develop male journalists into Matt Lauer type roles.

It would definitely go to Willie Geist (despite what's been said Geist is the best option) or in a bind Brian Williams who since his reinstatement has done breaking news on the NBC network once or twice.
