All 3 are deeply saddened...

Did Taft & Coleman switch stations around the same time? Coleman, I believe, would have been doing weather (from Chicago) for Good Morning America at this point.

In the immediate future, TV listings show an inconsistent rotation of MSNBC Live (presumably with Ari Melber, Steve Kornacki or Ali Velshi) and Hardball with Chris Matthews. Ultimately an NBC produced With All Due Respect program sounds possible and would be logical considering its one of the network's highest rated shows. Although another possibility in my opinion would be a permanent "Road Warriors" type show hosted by NBC News political correspondents discussing and analyzing the news and politics of the day.

CBS is trying to make something of its morning show and is clearly getting somewhere in that effort. Obtaining clearance from holdout affiliates who have had local programs in that hour for an eternity is probably a priority for the network.

Given the HUGE success CBS is having with ratings growth in the morning - maybe utilizing the same same studio at night will bring that same good mojo to the evening show. It also helps create some symmetry within the CBS News product.

Why not February? That's sweeps month. Although, I do believe Today's White house show this year was in January.

Meredith will also anchor for a week in January as well

I feel that him not being able to compete against NN is a rumor. I've read it nowhere else but here In this thread.

Where would Brian logically go? 11pm is probably the only timeslot where he can't compete with Nightly News. Unless the plan is to eventually loosen that provision because he wouldn't pose much of a threat...

Katie Couric will fill in as co-anchor of TODAY during the week of January 2. The last time Couric hosted a morning show was for a week in April 2012, filling in for Robin Roberts on Good Morning America.

At this point, the delay could be because of the transition the government's in right now.

Buffy News Buffy Come back to me...

I seriously don't know why WOIO doesn't go on WUAB 43.3 for those outside of WOIO's range. Move Grit to 19.3 and then run 43.3 in 720p (or even 1080i if possible).

I know it's been mentioned before, but I think the perfect replacement at 6pm would be THE NEWS WITH BRIAN WILLIAMS.

Possibly the same thing with the same hacks, just on the NBC payroll?
