Eva Pilgrim jumps to “ inside edition ” of ABC News’ ‘GMA3’

Eva Pilgrim will assume the anchoring tasks to the unionized magazine of CBS “Inside Edition” from fall, throwing talent plans for her current home, “GMA3” of ABC News in question while the Disney network tries to make this afternoon part of its global franchise of “Good Morning America”.

“We have the impression that we have won the jackpot so that Eva joins our team as the following ancrum of” Inside Edition “, said Charles Lachman, executive producer of the program, in a press release.” She has solid sides of her years as a journalist and anchor in the national and local news, as well as a warm relative that resonates with the public. We look forward to having a caliber journalist to take “ inside edition ” in his next chapter. ”

Deborah Norville has anchored “Inside Edition” since 1995, supported by Mary Calvi, long -standing correspondent for the flagship station of the New York CBS station. Norville recently retired.

“Inside Edition” is one of the oldest union magazines on television, after having launched in 1989. In its first days, the show competed with similar Tabloid television magazines such as “paper” and “A Current Affair”, and was hosted by Bill O’Reilly, which would spend a long career at Fox News Channel.

Pilgrim will only be the fourth anchor of the program and will take his reins in the fall.

Its release will attract a new examination to “GMA3”, an afternoon news program that has had several incarnations since its beginnings in ABC in 2018. The show has long been considered a way to expand the “Good Morning America” ​​franchise, and to help it compete more directly on NBC weekends. The show was launched as a Lifestyle-News style vehicle with Michael Strahan and Sara Haines, but pivoted a format more based on the coronavirus pandemic.

“GMA3” seemed to prosper when it was led by Co-Reflets Amy Robach and TJ Holmes, which were reinforced by medical and health reports of Dr. Jen Ashton. But the program was the subject of a meticulous examination when a romantic relationship between Holmes and Robach was unveiled, and the information leaders ABC failed to manage the imbroglio well. In recent years, Pilgrim and Demarco Morgan have led “GMA3”, but ABC News has submitted it to cost reduction, rejecting its executive producer and integrating it into staff members linked to “GMA”.

Pilgrim joined ABC News in 2016, working up to “GMA3” and a role of principal national correspondent. She made her debut in local news by working in stations in Bluefield, Virginia-Western; Columbia, South Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana; And Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was born in Seoul, South Korea, and attended the University of Florida and the University of South Carolina. She is also the author of a children’s book in 2021, “Walter does her best”.

“The anchor” Inside Edition “is really a dream work,” said Pilgrim in a statement. “I have been a spectator and fan of the series for many years. I pinch myself that I work with this incredible team. It is really an honor to join a show with such a long and rich story. “
