America This Morning is an American early morning television news program that is broadcast on ABC. As of April 2016, the newscast is anchored by Kendis Gibson and Diane Macedo, who also serve as anchors of ABC's overnight news program World News Now (it is the only early morning news program using a two-anchor format as the CBS Morning News and NBC's Early Today maintain a solo anchor). Usually airing following World News Now, it features national and international news headlines, live reports from Washington, D.C., national weather and airport impact forecasts, a short SportsCenter update from the late night Los Angeles-based anchors of the ESPN show to account for West Coast scores, and a regular business news segment called "America's Money".

The program is broadcast live at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time (airing in the early timeslot to accommodate ABC stations that start their local morning newscasts at 4:30 a.m.), and is transmitted in a continuous half-hour tape delayed loop until 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, when Good Morning America begins in the Pacific Time Zone (after 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time, any live breaking news requiring network-level coverage is under the purview of GMA with some allowance to start earlier). The program usually airs as a lead-in to local morning newscasts on most ABC stations, although in the few markets where a morning newscast is not produced by the ABC station, it may air in a two- to three-hour loop immediately before the start of GMA.
