The original "Good Morning Australia".
This edition aired on Monday the 1st of February 1982.
The Breakfast Television program was broadcast by Network Ten weekdays from 7:00-9:00am.
It debuted on 2 March, 1981 with Gordon Elliott and Sue Kellaway co-hosting. Kellaway departed shortly after the program began and was replaced by Kerri-Anne Kennerly, who stayed with the program until the end of 1991 when she was replaced by Sandra Sully, Joy Smithers and then Sandra Sully again.
The male co-host position on GMA was filled by Tim Webster, Mike Gibson, Terry Willesee, Tim Webster again, Mike Hammond and Ron Wilson.
In 1992, GMA moved to the 6:30-8:30am timeslot, coinciding with the launch of The Morning Show with Bert Newton.
The breakfast program competed with the Nine Network's Today (which launched in 1982 with Sue Kellaway, initial co-host of the Ten show) and usually placed second in the ratings, behind Today.
GMA, as a breakfast news program, was cancelled at the end of 1992. (Source- Wikipedia)
