Good Morning Australia (1992 TV program)

Good Morning Australia (or GMA), also known as GMA with Bert Newton, originally titled The Morning Show, was an Australian breakfast television variety program on Network Ten hosted by Bert Newton between 20 January 1992 and 16 December 2005 featuring regular segments and celebrity guests.

The show debuted on Network Ten on 20 January 1992 with the title The Morning Show, changing its name the following year from 1 February 1993 to Good Morning Australia (aka GMA and GMA with Bert Newton) after the breakfast news program with the same name on the same network ended.

The Morning Show had replaced the long running Sydney based Til-Ten which was presented by Joan McInnes.

Following this announcement and after months of speculation, Bert Newton decided to leave Ten and return to the Nine Network.

The summer series of Good Morning Australia ended on 27 January 2006, a week before the premiere of 9am with David and Kim.

Robert Mascara, the floor manager and assistant director for the programme's entire run, appeared as "Belvedere", the official food taste tester during the cooking segments.
