GMA Whistle Stop tour coming to Trumbull County next week

GUSTAVUS — From 7 until 9 a.m. Wednesday, ABC’s “Good Morning America” will broadcast live from Gustavus in northern Trumbull County as part of GMA and USA Today’s “50 States in 50 Days Tour.”

The tour began today and will conclude Nov. 4 — the day Americans vote for their new president.

During the tour, USA Today reporters and ABC News anchors and correspondents will report on one state each day. ABC News President David Westin said in a Sept. 8 press conference that the purpose of the tour is to “look at the election from the point of view of the voters and citizens.”

GMA “Whistle-Stop Tour” will travel through seven states, making several stops along the way, including Ohio, as the show broadcasts live from four states and Washington, D.C., over five days.

The details about Wednesday’s live broadcast from Gustavus remain sketchy, but country superstar Brad Paisley will perform, and GMA anchors Diane Sawyer, Robin Roberts, Chris Cuomo and Sam Champion will give their morning broadcasts aboard a specially equipped Amtrak train.
