In a week that saw Ann Curry bid farewell to the Today show anchor chair, Good Morning America tied the NBC morning program in total viewers, with both drawing 4.604 million watchers the week of June 25, according to Nielsen live + same day data.

It was the first time GMA could claim (or rather share) the No. 1 spot since the week of May 21, after Today won the last four consecutive weeks outright.

In the adults 25-54 demo, Today maintained its dominance, averaging 1.946 million viewers for the week to GMA's 1.669 million.

Notably, GMA beat Today on Friday, June 29, when Savannah Guthrie sat in as co-anchor next to Matt Lauer in both total viewers and the adults 25-54 demo, besting the NBC program by 664,000 total viewers and 112,000 demo viewers.
