“Good Morning America” will film live from Ameristar Casino Friday morning for the same show on which clips filmed in the city will be shown.

Ameristar Public Relations Manager Bess Averett said GMA confirmed Monday that correspondent David Muir will film from about 6 to 7 a.m. at the Vicksburg riverboat casino on Washington Street.

“We were just supposed to be featured in a taped segment, but with the debate in Oxford occurring that night, I think they wanted to be live from somewhere in Mississippi,” said Averett. “We won’t know where they’ll be filming until Thursday night, but it will be somewhere at the casino. It’s possible they will shoot at several different locations.”

While in Vicksburg earlier this month, Muir interviewed guests at Ameristar Casino and Walnut Hills Restaurant, as well as aboard the Mississippi River Tours boat, the Sweet Olive.

The filming was  part of ABC News and USA Today’s “50 States in 50 Days” initiative, which will feature correspondent reports from every state in the country leading up to the Nov. 4 presidential election.

Averett said Vicksburg was the only Mississippi city featured in the 50 states segment. Muir will not be doing any interviews during Friday’s live broadcast, said Averett, and it is not likely any local citizens will be on camera if they show up to see the filming.

 GMA can be seen locally on the ABC affiliate station, WAPT, Channel 16.

Those interviewed in Vicksburg for the previously taped segment were asked about their top concerns for the country, and what they feel are the most important issues in the presidential campaign.

Along with showing portions of what was filmed in Vicksburg, the show will also feature a report on the status of hurricane-hit areas south of Vicksburg.

Presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama will debate at the University of Mississippi’s Gertrude C. Ford Center in Oxford Friday night during the first of three televised debates, beginning at 8.

The 90-minute debate will focus on foreign policy and national security and will be moderated by Jim Lehrer, executive editor and anchor of The NewsHour on PBS.
