[edit] History
From 1988-1990 Jim Ryan anchored solo, with Julie Golden doing weather. In 1990, Lyn Brown became part of the GDNY team as the anchor of Good Day Wakeup. Brown later flipped positions with then GDNY co-host Maria Genero, with Genero anchoring Wakeup with Mario Bosquez. When Maria Genero was let go from FOX, Brown moved back to Wakeup with Mario Bosquez, Ryan anchored GDNY solo, and Brown provided news updates and interviews.
During the morning hours on September 11, 2001, GDNY was broadcasting live images of the September 11th Attacks. While showing the Zoolander trailer during a commercial break, GDNY cut to the breaking news at 8:48 A.M, to show the North Tower of the World Trade Center burning. Kai Simonsen reported from WNYW's chopper, "High Five" (Now Known As Sky Fox HD) and captured the second plane hitting the second tower.
In 2003, Mario Bosquez left WNYW for WCBS, and was replaced by Chris Gailus on Wakeup. Brown also did news and interviews on GDNY, with Ryan acting as primary anchor. Ryan and Brown displayed a great deal of chemistry on-air, and she was on-air for the majority of the 7-9am block. In 2004, Lucy Noland joined WNYW and then anchor of Wakeup with Galius, with Galius also taking over as newsreader on GDNY with Ryan as main anchor. Brown was only on GDNY from 7-9am hours, doing interviews and feature stories.
When Chris Galius was placed on the evening news, Brown was brought back for a few months to anchor Wakeup with Noland, continuing to provide interviews and feature stories on GDNY. Jodi Applegate later replaced Brown completely, when she went over to the evenings with Ernie Anastos, anchoring solo from 6-7am with Noland, acting as newsreader and co-anchoring with Ryan on GDNY from 7-9am. Ryan retired shortly thereafter, and Galius took over as co-anchor of GDNY from 6-9am, with Noland doing news updates and news-related interviews. Noland then anchored Wakeup solo.
Between then, in April 2006, former WCBS-TV traffic agent Vanessa Alfano joined WNYW As a features reporter and susbstitute weatherperson for the morning programs. At the same time, she is a full-time weathercaster at WWOR-TV In Secaucus, New Jersey.
In the latter part of 2006, Mark Joyella joined the Good Day New York team with his infamous Mark's Missions and FOX Soup which aired every Friday. The first segment was where he would be assigned missions from the anchors and if he did not complete the missions as they were requested, he would be ordered to do embarrassing stunts. The latter segment, Fox Soup, reflected on the highlighted mistakes/bloopers that occurred in the corresponding week. Of the segments, it featured the Good Day Gang.
Mark Joyella left the station in early 2007. His two segments were dropped as well. Though he was a full-time reporter for WNYW-TV. In March 2007, both Lucy Noland and Stacy-Ann Gooden left GDNY. Lynda López unofficially replaced Noland. Christina Park finally replaced her. Noland is now an anchor at KHOU-TV. Gooden now works at WRNN-TV. Gooden was replaced by Ines Rosales.
Ron Corning was let go from the program while on vacation the week of April 7th. It was the first move by Dianne Doctor, notorious for shaking up the talent line-up on New York shows, often with mixed results. Corning's departure was met with an overwhelming outcry from GDNY viewers, highlighted by Richard Huff of the New York Daily News and on various New York TV blogs. [1]
Good Day New York competes with the PIX Morning News; the May 2008 ratings showed that GDNYs ratings slipped, while the PIX Morning News's ratings rose.
On July 9, 2008, FOX 5 announced that Greg Kelly would officially replacing Ron Corning beginning July 14, Christina Park would trade places with Karen Hepp, and former WPIX reporter Julie Chang would be hired to cover entertainment stories.
On September 22, popular 10 p.m. Fox 5 news anchor Rosanna Scotto was moved to the morning hour, taking over the co-anchor spot with Kelly in place of the departing Jodi Applegate.
On July 13, 2009, Good Day New York has been expanded from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. as a result of the cancellation of The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet.

In addition to this program, there was a half-hour program that broadcasts in the latter morning, called FOX 5 Live (also known as FOX 5 Midday), which was last anchored by Rosanna Scotto and Greg Kelly.
[edit] History of Fox 5 Midday
At the time of the newscast's inception in 1995, the broadcast was hosted by Mario Basquez and Lyn Brown. The program is another newscast, which originally aired at 11:30 AM is similar to noon broadcasts on rival stations with the same. When Basquez left the station in 2003 and headed to WCBS-TV, Brown anchored the program solo until her retirement on June 30, 2006.
Immediately afterwards, Lucy Noland became the anchor of the broadcast, with Mike Woods as the weatherman. When Noland left in March, Lynda Lopez hosted the program on a trial basis. Craig, Corning and Applegate occasionally filled in and do reports for the broadcast and Vanessa Alfano filled in with the weather. Reid Lamberty joined Lynda as co-anchor starting August 13, 2007. The two will trial run the mornings together to permanently replace Lucy Noland and Chris Gailus. [1]
This newscast premiers at 11 a.m. on WNYW-TV. Before September 12, 2006, the newscasts premiered at 11:30 AM, but was pushed up a half-hour to help improve the ratings of the midday cast. The ploy has not worked, with ABC's The View currently in the lead for the 11 a.m. timeslot.
In October 2007, Lopez returned to MyNetworkTV affiliate WWOR and was replaced by CNN alumnus Christina Park. At the end of June 2008, however, Park was replaced by Karen Hepp. Soon after, Rosanna Scotto and Greg Kelly took over when Hepp was released by the network.
On July 13, 2009, with the addition of the 9:00 a.m. hour of Good Day New York, the midday newscast was dropped altogether.
