Josh Elliott leaving 'Good Morning America'

It was recently announced that anchor Josh Elliott is leaving ABC’s Good Morning America and Amy Robach is set to replace him. After Elliott and the station could not come to a salary agreement Elliott decided to leave.

According to the New York Daily News it was reported that Elliot was asking for a $10 million a year salary and while ABC made a counter-offer of $5 million a year it just simply wasn’t enough. Elliott’s current salary was $1 million a year.

According to ABC Local ABC News President Ben Sherwood said in a statement Sunday, “In good faith, we worked hard to close a significant gap between our generous offer and his expectations. In the end, Josh felt he deserved a different deal and so he chose a new path.”
