Good Day L.A. is an American morning television news and entertainment program airing on KTTV (channel 11), a Fox owned-and-operated television station in Los Angeles, California that is owned by the Fox Television Stations subsidiary of 21st Century Fox. The program broadcasts each weekday morning from 7 to 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Differing in format from the conventional 2½-hour morning newscast that precedes it, the program features news, traffic and weather segments, but emphasizes entertainment and feature stories (including celebrity interviews – which are mainly done in-studio, although are occasionally performed via satellite – as well as features such as fashion and food segments).
The program is currently co-hosted by Steve Edwards alongside anchor Araksya Karapetyan, weather anchor and social media correspondent Maria Quiban, entertainment reporter Julie Chang and traffic reporter Rick Dickert.
Good Day L.A. debuted on June 18, 1993. At its inception, it was a two-hour newscast that was originally anchored by Antonio Mora and Susan Lichtman. Mark Thompson moved from the station's 10 p.m. newscast to serve as its weather anchor; Dagny Hultgreen served as the entertainment anchor; and Suzanne Dunn was the traffic reporter, reporting from the station's news helicopter Sky 11 (now SkyFox).
The format was unsuccessful, and the show had suffered from frequent anchor turnover. Mora left for ABC News and was replaced by Thompson and later Tony McEwing (who has anchored the early morning Fox 11 Morning News since its 1993 launch). Hultgreen was replaced by Lonnie Lardner; Dunn was replaced by Will Kohlschreiber.
