Elliott, who was the morning show's news anchor, will be replaced by Amy Robach, Variety reports.
ABC News president Ben Sherwood announced the move in a memo to staff on Sunday night, confirming that he'd been in contract talks with Elliott for several months and while "we worked hard to close a significant gap between our generous offer and his expectations … Josh felt he deserved a different deal and so he chose a new path."
Robach, who revealed in October that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer following an on-air mammogram, will co-anchor with Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos on GMA.
Elliott is the second departure from the show in recent months. Meterologist Sam Champion left the show in December.
