I was wondering why Channels 5,6,and 9 in Boston and surrounding areas did not carry A.M. America which would later become Good Morning America in 1975.
 
"A.M. America" did not premiere on ABC until January of 1975. It got "so-so" reviews and ratings. It was a national version of WABC-TV's "A.M. New York" with Bill Beutel and Nancy Dussault ("A.M. New York" moved to the 9:00 AM time slot after GMA premiered, on Channel 7 in New York). "Good Morning America" (the revamped version of "A.M. America") premiered later that year. David Hartman joined GMA in the fall of 1975 after his series "Lucas Tanner" was cancelled by NBC earlier in the year.
