Sun could set on ‘Morning’

THE end is near for “Good Morning America’s” Times Square Studios.

ABC’s flagship morning news show has long had a location at the Crossroads of the World that — much like rival “Today” — allows it to feature an excitable throng of regular folk in the background.

But ABC is preparing to relocate to Hudson Square, where parent company Disney is setting up shop in a shiny new office tower.

“Part of moving to this very expensive building is they want ‘GMA’ to give up the Times Square Studios lease,” an insider told Page Six.

The move downtown means the show may lose its touristy fans, who gather to watch hosts Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos deliver the news through the window — because the new digs may not have any windows.

“It may be in the basement!” the insider said. “The talent and producers are not happy about it. [It would give an] advantage to ‘Today.’ ”

It’s not exactly a preoccupation for many ABC execs, however, since the move won’t happen until 2025, according to another source. “It’s the news business. Everyone’s focused more on tomorrow than next month,” they said. Plus, “the city is the set.”

Relocating downtown will also allow all staff to work under one roof. Now they split their time between Times Square and offices 20 blocks north.

Still, we hear ABC News president Kim Godwin “tried to fight” the move, but was unsuccessful according to another source.

A rep told us that “GMA” is “defined by the strength of our team in front of and behind the camera, quality of our reporting, and the long, trusted relationship with our viewers. Moving all ABC News teams to our new state-of-theart building was a strategic decision that will allow for more collaboration and innovation.”

Another source said: “‘GMA’ will regularly use locations in New York City and communities across America as a set.”
