Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 7:45am on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 | Charlie Wanted George, Not Diane, For Top Anchor Post, the NY Post's Page 6 reported on November 18, 2009:
"Charlie Gibson says on the record he has "tremendous respect and fondness" for Diane Sawyer, but insiders say he has trouble concealing his dislike of his ABC colleague.
"Charlie has always given Diane the stink eye. He bad-mouths her openly and often," said our source.
Gibson, 66, had been pushing ABC News president David Westin to promote George Stephanopoulos, the host of Sunday morning's "This Week," as his successor.
"He wanted George to get the job," said one source at the network. "He was shocked when he learned Diane got it, and he was really angry that she stole his thunder. As soon as she was named, it was all about Diane."

Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 10:14am on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 | Stephanopoulos Switching Chairs?
The competition among the Sunday morning talk shows is heated if not feverish, dominated by the struggle of ABC's "This Week" to catch up with, and then overtake, NBC's longtime ratings champ "Meet the Press."
Now that contest has reached a new stage: ABC News bosses are talking to "This Week" moderator George Stephanopoulos, 48, about moving up to an anchor chair on the daily "Good Morning, America" show -- where Stephanopoulos would have to deal with baby-buggy recalls, interview movie stars, and pose for a never-ending series of publicity shots, perhaps including one of him dancing the Paso Doble.
Talks continue.

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 3:54pm on Sunday, September 6th, 2009 | On September 2, 2009, ABC News announced that Charlie Gibson will leave "ABC World News" at the end of December, and that Diane Sawyer will be the new anchor of the network's evening newscast starting in January 2010.
Sawyer and Gibson worked together for years as co-anchors of "Good Morning America," until Gibson left to anchor "ABC World News" in 2006.
Gibson was named the anchor of "ABC World News" in May 2006. He replaced the team of Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff, after Woodruff was seriously wounded in an IED attack in Iraq.
Woodruff and Vargas became the co-anchors of the newscast in December 2005 after the death of longtime anchor Peter Jennings.
