Americans are longing to get out of the house and travel, and while that’s not possible for most, ABC’s Live with Kelly and Ryan is bringing warmth and sunshine to their viewers. Starting on February 22nd, the show will explore a U.S. city or territory as part of “Live’s Virtual Road Trip.”
What’s Happening:
- For the past 33 seasons, the “Live” franchise has taken viewers around the globe, with exciting remote broadcasts from the tropical destinations to the snowy mountains, pristine beaches and more.
- However, since travel isn’t an option at the moment for most Americans, hosts Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest found a way to bring a change of scenery – and a bit of winter sunshine – to the at-home audience with “Live’s Virtual Road Trip.”
- Each day from February 22-26, Live will feature a “virtual remote” from a different city known for warm breezes and sunny skies.
- Ripa and Seacrest will highlight the best that each location has to offer, including music, food, stunning locales and even some local “Good News” stories.
