What was the reasons for WNYW to launch the morning news program in August 1988? And did they think it would be successful vs CBS, NBC and ABC in the 7-9am slot.

Yes and to provide local morning news in timeslots that the other stations couldn't. It worked and its why WSVN added local morning news of its own from 7-9am when it became FOX in 1989. The rest, as they say, is history. 7-9am morning news is now common in most markets of the country thanks to the idea and the success of 7-9am morning news from WNYW and add WSVN as the bonus too.
 
I remember that, they removed all the morning cartoons from 6-9am for GDNY. I'm surprised WNYW never did it sooner.
