Good Morning America First Look (formerly America This Morning) is an American early morning news program, broadcast on ABC on weekday mornings. The newscast is anchored by Andrew Dymburt and Rhiannon Ally, who also serve as anchors of ABC's overnight news program World News Now. One of the two early morning news programs to use a two-anchor format, alongside NBC's Early Today (CBS News Mornings maintains a solo anchor), it usually airs 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 3:30 a.m. ET following World News Now (airing in the early timeslot to accommodate ABC stations that start their morning local newscasts at 4:00 a.m.). ABC-owned WPVI-TV was one of the first stations to air local news starting at 4:00 a.m. beginning in September 2018. The show is transmitted in a continuous half-hour tape delayed loop until 10:00 a.m. ET, when Good Morning America begins in the Pacific Time Zone (after 7:00 a.m. ET, 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.
