    Former football star Michael Strahan is being shifted from the daily talk show he co-hosts with Kelly Ripa to work full-time on ABC's "Good Morning America."

    The change comes as "Good Morning America" tries to shore up sinking ratings at a time of tighter competition with NBC's "Today" show. The move reflects the importance of the show to parent Walt Disney Co.'s bottom line.

    Strahan has worked a couple days a week at "GMA" for the past two years, but he always leaves midway through the show to head to the "Live with Kelly and Michael" studio on Manhattan's upper West Side. Beginning in September, he'll be on "GMA" five days a week for the full two-hour show. He will join the show's regular cast of Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Lara Spencer, Amy Robach and Ginger Zee.
