Wake up!

Phil Anglin from Richland, Michigan, had quite a morning recently. His phone rang at 7:30 a.m., and at the other end of the line were “Good Morning America” anchors Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts, as well as a live television audience. When his wife, Emily, joined him on the phone, she surprised him by wishing him a happy first anniversary. But it didn’t end there. Emily went on to reveal they were going to have a baby. Let’s go to the video tape!
This conspiracy was part of the GMA/Yahoo! Wake Up Call, a new daily segment that allows you to send a wake-up message from “Good Morning America” and the Yahoo! billboard in New York’s Times Square. Simply submit a short request and it could run as a text message on our billboard and get promoted on the air.
You could wish your aunt a happy birthday, tell your brother to clean up his room, congratulate your mom on her first scuba dive, or ask your boss for a raise. A few lucky sleepyheads might just get a wakeup call from Diane and Robin that they won’t soon forget. Tune in to “Good Morning America” every morning between 7:40 and 8:00 a.m.

Is there a place that you can see Yahoo! wake up calls that have already aired? As in this morning?
