A "Good Morning America" official said the cancellation was due to space restrictions because of incoming news about Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott. However, this morning's edition of the show apparently had enought extra air time to let the final several minutes be a discussion of weatherman Spenser Chrsitian's upcoming appearance on the syndicated "You Bet Your Life" show. "Good Morning America" will not re-schedule the interview with Spock, and outspoken critic of the U.S. embargo of Cuba.
