The news site noted that ABC took the show off their back in March for “Pandemic: What You Need to Know,” which is a daily report on the coronavirus anchored by Amy Robach and Dr. Jen Ashton. A source told Page Six, “It was initially supposed to be a two-week experiment and the show did really well.”
While ABC has yet to announce the cancellation of “Strahan, Sara and Keke” a spokesperson told the outlet: “We’re proud of our teams at ‘SSK’ and ‘GMA3’ and how quickly they transitioned to producing a daily show to give people the news and information they need during an unprecedented pandemic, and conversations continue about how the show will evolve in the months ahead.”

Meanwhile, an insider explained,
“Strahan, Sara and Keke’ is put on hiatus and it doesn’t look like it’s going to come off.” Page Six says its staffers will work on “GMA 3,” with producers from “ABC News Live,” the digital stream helmed by Catherine McKenzie, who the network officially announced as executive producer of the program on Thursday.
Another insider said:
“It’s unfortunate, but the hope is that they’ll be a big part of [‘GMA 3’] down the road,” and added, “Everyone was feeling good about their show. It was nominated for three Daytime Emmys. It finally found its rhythm. Ratings were stabilized and were starting to tick up when they went off air.”
