The news was announced on "GMA" this morning, with Josh Elliott adding that she'll slowly work up to anchoring the newscast 5 days a week.

"What a difference a year makes," said Roberts, who began feeling the symptoms of her illness about a year ago. "I cannot wait to return to my "GMA" family. It's going to be an incredible morning in Times Square. The overwhelming thoughts and prayers of the viewers have played a major part in getting me here today. I cannot thank everyone enough."
