NEW YORK (AP) — During a tumultuous time in morning television, the competition between the "Today" show and "Good Morning America" can't get any tighter.

The shows finished in a dead heat in the Nielsen ratings last week, both averaging 4.604 million viewers. It was the fifth time in 12 weeks that ABC's "Good Morning America" had claimed victory, or a slice of victory, since snapping a "Today" winning streak that had stretched back to 1995.

NBC's "Today" actually won Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the ratings last week.
