Josh Elliott, news anchor of "GMA," and Lara Spencer were just named anchors of the new "Good Morning America" spin-off,"Good Afternoon America," which launches July 9 at 2 p.m. "GFA?" It's quite a clever idea - designed to keep surging "GMA" front of mind just as the Olympics start to steam-roll AND maintain a heartbeat over the summer while ABC gets ready for Katie Couric. It was announced weeks ago - the show that is - so no surprise, plus it'll be taped in the morning day of air. "Guest" appearances by hosts of "GMA" are expected, the network says, w hile the series lasts just through the summer. Content? Think a lot of celebrity/lifestyle news, and a tone that, if possible, will be even airier/frothier than "GMA."
