I’ve never watched Good Morning America, but GMA must be a really popular show on ABC. So popular that the network is canceling one of its afternoon shows to make room for more of the morning show.

The Hollywood Report (@thr) reports, ABC is expanding Good Morning America to a third hour. The network announced today that the third hour of GMA will air in the 1pm est time slot, replacing cooking talk show “The Chew.”

“Over the past six years Good Morning America has solidified its place as America’s number one morning show. We believe there is great opportunity for viewers and advertisers in expanding to a third hour.” president of Disney/ABC, Ben Sherwood said in a statement.
