WNBC's streaming channel NBC 4 New York News is now available in the local news section on Pluto TV.

WNBC is showing Early Today again at 4:30am instead of Today In New York. I'm guessing the global IT outage might be causing a problem for the software that runs the newscasts.

Subbing for Emily West, who is in while Adelle Caballero is on maternity leave.

If I'm correct, Sam is only there Tuesday-Thursday. Fridays he has been on GMA. They also have Raegan Medgie as Meteorologist/Reporter, who returns from vacation on July 1st.

As other NBC O&O stations are doing, the time and temp have been moved to under the bug.

Carolyn Gusoff posted on IG last night that she had robotic open-heart surgery 5 days ago and "I will be back soon to doing what I love.." https://www.instagram.com/p/C6U94oktbI9/

Does anyone know why Telemundo 47 has not moved into the studio? Today it's being used by MSNBC.

The overhead camera shot is still used. The other area to the left of the desk is still used for New York Live.

I noticed last week, and today on the morning newscast, they are not using the large video display on the wall to the left of the news desk for the weather reports. They are using the chroma key wall somewhere else instead. They also are not using the smaller video display for traffic reports. This is a still of the area they had been using.

Due to the snow storm, Today In New York started at 4am.

Kaity Tong noted that for now she's anchoring the 10pm weekend newscasts. John Muller will anchor 6pm Sunday.

Her Twitter bio says "Freelance TV News Reporter CBS New York."

It looks like the new WNJU studio is being using by MSNBC this week.

Checking the schedule, https://www.nbc.com/schedule, I noticed there are no live morning newscasts on WNBC Christmas day. The first newscast of the day is News 4 NY at 6. Is this new or a standard thing for them? Checking the schedules for the other stations: WABC is 5-7am. WCBS is 6am. WPIX is 4-8am. WNYW is the regular 4:30-10am.

I think it might be more than holiday fill-ins. On her LinkedIn page it says "Meteorologist/Reporter abc7NY Dec 2023 - Present 1 month." When Dani came on at 7am, she joked that Medgie was a Christmas miracle that would allow her and Jeff to have time off during the holidays. I also noticed Brittany Bell was subbing on GMA this morning.

He seems to only be on Tuesday-Thursday. He was on GMA last Friday.

They also replaced the two other video screens, made from four monitors, on the sides of the desk and the video wall behind the desk.

The large video wall in Studio 9, which was made from 16 monitors and was in need of replacing, has been upgraded with a new video wall. I believe they might also be replacing the older smaller video walls made up of mutiple monitors, as they were not using that part of the studio today. The old wall from November. The new video wall from today.

A few more from the 4pm and 5pm newscasts.
