Ann Curry's Final Week Doesn't Help "Today" Ratings

Good Morning America comes out on top

Even though it was rife with that kind of real-life drama you don't even get from reality shows, the final episode of Ann Curry as an anchor on the Today show did not cause a ratings boost.

And things aren't going any better as Curry's replacement, Savannah Guthrie, takes over the swiftly vacated anchor chair.

As a matter of fact, the show didn't even come out as the top morning news show last Friday. Good Morning America, which has managed to soar over the last several months, won that day by nearly 700,000 viewers.

Curry's exit is believed to be because as soon as she came into the anchor spot, rating began to dwindle. But skeptics question whether or not Guthrie will be able to bring the results that NBC wants.

Meanwhile, many analysts don't even talk about CBS anymore when it comes to the morning show wars. The network's revamped hard-news format isn't helping it to bring in any more viewers.

So it continues to be a tug-of-war between Today and Good Morning America.
