Because they hire a bunch of "forward thinkers" who are cost driven as opposed to ratings and content driven. So as stupid as it sounds, it's correct to assume they are willing to spend money...to lose money. Tinker with shit...and play around with free social media content while you figure out you have lost an entire generation of viewers to Facebook....that took you 30 years to cultivate. They are morons Rob.

For the record, allegedly Access Hollywood came across the video footage at some point in the recent past, and "planned" on reporting on it. It was also said that the News division (MSNBC IIRC) got prior knowledge of the tape from the Entertainment division, and that the reporting was supposed to be a one-two from Access Hollywood reporting first and then NBC News doing the followup on the story. However, as we all know, somewhere between that point of planning and Saturday last, it got leaked to WaPo. Once the Post got it, they reached out to NBCU for comment, who then had to ACTUALLY scramble to cobble together the report they were "planning" to do. Someone in the NBCU universe wanted Billy Bush gone. The question is, was it the Entertainment division or the News division...

I recall TEGNA had a similar meeting with morning show managers last year. I don't think anything came of it. If you're a top-rated TEGNA station making money, I'm not sure why you would want to fix what isn't broken.

does that mean willie is coming back to that hour or is sunday his day

It looks different being animated but looks good. I wonder how it would have turned out if it was filmed and stylized together? The other package appeared to be easily customizable when Nightly was on location. Wonder how it will be handled now. The following likely will sound confusing simply because I don't know how else to describe or characterize the new open. I see several nods to the previous package. On the water by the Statue of Liberty you see some of the rectangles that intersected and in other places they kept things which I assume symbolize loading data. In another sense I can see a BBC style of influence where different buildings in Manhattan are sized up having different points on them on the lead up to 30 Rock. The lower thirds themselves are quite clean but still retain the Nightly Style where the corners feature intersecting perpendicular lines that go past the actual lower thirds.

Surprised no one has mentioned how this is, in some ways, effectively the old Today Show open. I'm more focused trying to wrap my mind around how complicated and time-consuming it was to create that open in such detail, as well as the render time. yeesh.
