“Good Morning America” will broadcast from YSU Friday


YOUNGSTOWN — ABC’s “Good Morning America” will broadcast Friday from the Beeghly Center at Youngstown State University.

The show airs live from 7 to 9 a.m.

U.S. Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, will be interviewed shortly after the show begins.

Two of the show’s four hosts — Robin Roberts and Chris Cuomo — will be at Beeghly. Diane Sawyer will broadcast from a school in Pennsylvania while Sam Champion will be back at the New York studio.

The center will open at 5:30 a.m. for those interested in watching the show live, said Ron Cole, a YSU spokesman. The audience must be seated by 6:30 a.m., he said. No bags, purses or backpacks are permitted inside the center for the show.

Also, Roberts and Cuomo will go outside about 8 a.m. for a “live shot” by YSU’s Veterans Plaza, near the south end of Beeghly Center, Cole said.
