| Text | Many Americans enjoy watching morning TV shows as part of their "morning routine" (what people do every morning to get ready). They generally don't sit in front of the TV to watch the program, but instead have them on "in the background" (happening while other things are happening, without giving something one's full attention) while they are getting dressed, making breakfast, eating, and reading the "paper" (newspaper). Typical morning TV shows are partially "news programs" that talk about "recent" (happening not long ago) and "current" (happening right now) events, and partially entertainment with "soft stories" (stories on topics that are cute or interesting, but not really very important). They have "charismatic" (friendly, attracting others) "hosts" (people who run a show, present information, and interview or interact with guests). The most popular morning TV show, ABC's Good Morning America, has been "running" (shown; broadcasted) since 1975. It "features" (shows) the news, weather "forecasts" (predictions of what the weather will be like), interviews, and more. It has been the most popular show in terms of the total number of viewers since 2012. Previously, NBC's The Today Show (also known simply as Today) was the most popular morning TV show. It has been "on the air" (broadcasted; shown) since 1952. Other, less-popular morning TV shows include CBS Morning News, Fox's America's Newsroom, and CNN's New Day. |
