Is this the revenge of Ann Curry? Savannah Guthrie made her official debut as the new Today co-host on Monday, but the numbers suggest she may not be the draw producers hoped. The first numbers show that the broadcast came in below ABC’s Good Morning America in both total viewers and adults 24-54. Early ratings suggest GMA had 1.68 million viewers among adults 24-54, compared with Today’s 1.674 million. GMA also posted a 356,000 advantage among total viewers (4.425 million to 4.069 million). If the numbers are confirmed, it would be the first time GMA has won in both measurements since February 2006.
