GMA Today CBS mornings ratings
Definition
A popular search phrase and shorthand reference to the Nielsen viewership ratings competition among three flagship U.S. morning TV news programs: ABC's Good Morning America (GMA), NBC's Today Show, and CBS Mornings.
In broadcasting lingo, it encapsulates the cutthroat Monday-to-Friday battle for eyeballs in the sunrise demo, where anchors sling coffee-fueled banter and headlines to dominate the 25-54 adult demographic.
