It appears "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts has cleared yet another medical hurdle. Roberts has been released from the hospital three weeks after her Sept. 20 bone marrow transplant. Five years ago Roberts successfully battled breast cancer. In a blog entry Roberts says she will continue to recover while at home, writing, "I will still be resting away from 'GMA' until I'm given the all clear, but sleeping in my own bed again feels like a big victory."

CBS has let former "This Morning" co-anchor Erica Hill out of her contract, clearing the way for her to join NBC's "Today" as weekend anchor, according to The New York Post. Hill joined CBS's new-look morning show in January, but was replaced by White House reporter Norah O'Donnell in June. She also previously worked at CNN.
