It’s been 40 years since the ABC morning news show began challenging Today, which was then “the only game in town,” as original co-host David Hartman recalls. "The mission was: How do we inform in a conversational, intelligent way?” he says. "It was not a full-service network. We hardly had any stations — maybe 115 stations — and not one paid commercial.” PLUS: A look back to GMA’s first show in November 1975.

Those early-morning news shows seem to be campy and ridiculous (even though occasionally, they can be informative and educational).
