ABC News names Rachel Scott and Rhiannon Ally as permanent co-anchors for “Good Morning America Weekend.” Scott, a senior political correspondent with Disney’s news division, will co-anchor the Saturday telecast with Whit Johnson starting September 12. Ally will co-anchor the Sunday program alongside Gio Benitez.
The announcements come as ABC refreshes its weekend morning lineup. Variety and Deadline both report that Scott and Ally are taking on consistent, recurring roles rather than temporary fill-ins. Deadline specifies that the weekend co-anchor assignments are fixed by day—Scott with Johnson on Saturdays and Ally with Benitez on Sundays—and that the start is effective this weekend. Deadline also adds that the same anchors participate in ABC News Live Weekend on a rotating basis, expanding their presence across ABC’s weekend news programming.
