She appeared recently promoting PBS’s Great American Read, and she’s done it in the past for the show. She may not be on the rolls anymore but she may be coming back - kind of like Jane Pauley did but not in a regular segment.

When you are getting paid over $5 million flying back and forth it shouldn’t be a big deal. Carson is only out the days The Voice is live - Monday and Tuesday. He take the red eye out for a Wednesday’s show. I’m sure if they wanted him to appear live they’d have him in the studios in LA. During the live episodes of American Idol did Ryan Seacrest fly back and forth each night or a similar arrangement like Carson? Edit: Earlier in this thread someone mentioned the commute Peter Alexander will have up to NYC. First let me say this, I once asked a MSNBC contributor how they get to NYC after appear on Morning Joe and a show shortly after 1PM in NYC. They mostly fly up to JFK from DCA as it’s flight under 1 hour. So for Peter I imagine he will do the same on Friday - attend a show production meeting via conference call, fly up in the afternoon, spend a night in the plushy hotel the guests stay at, do the show on Saturday and head back home around noon. José Diaz-Balart likely does the same by flying out Noticiero Telemundo, and spend the days in production meetings, do NN and I’m not sure if he flys out Saturday night or Sunday.

It occurs during The Voice seasons. Normally the someone else fills in. But maybe this is a sign they’re going to get rid of it. As for the low ratings Today may not be number #1 in total viewership but they are #1 in the demo. Edit: Total viewers are nice but if your not bringing in the demo your not going to getting that much more if at all in ad rates. https://deadline.com/2018/09/lester-holt-newscast-wins-news-demo-david-muir-lands-total-viewer-win-full-season-tv-ratings-1202471105/

I’m wondering if perhaps the 9AM ET A Block could be the same as the 7AM MT to update it.

The Orange Room is blocked off now for what I assume is when Carson is gone. It’s slide in wall with wooden “steps” of the Today show logo seen similar to the acrylic one that’s out orange that’s immediately next to the video wall. Now as a Savannah fan I think she should get the third hour to even hours up (between her and Hoda). She could make it newsy while also pop culture friendly. Seems like you don’t have any like for NBC at all yet so why are you watching? At this rate your beating dead horse on your end but is making NBC hundreds of millions.

So per the APT and my TiVo guide the 9AM show is officially named “Today Third Hour”.

Is the 10:59 tease live or recorded and what time does the WPHL show end? I heard they use different control rooms so the 11PM team can get ready during the 10pm.

Since you posted this GMA seems to be the only one that does this. CBS TM and Today all say that they are sister networks or a division of CBS Corporation or for NBC a division NBCUniversal or Comcast.

I’m at my limit for The New Yorker but they have an article titled “The Growth of Sinclair’s Conservative Media Empire”. Here’s what Kyle Griffin (an MSNBC producer that you should follow for all the news of the day) tweeted out: [MEDIA=twitter]1053662120758263808[/MEDIA] Edit: I copied this post from the Sinclair Broadcast Group - General Discussion to try my moderator powers and see how the copy post feature worked.

Did they change the Count On It font?

I believe with their set they switched to OverDrive but added Viz engines (VizRT even tweeted it out). WCAU is going to continue to use OverDrive and will launch with Expression graphics. Did Ross purchase Expression (or a predecessor) from someone or was this a product they developed themselves? It seems like they only been launched graphics platforms few years ago. I know Stadiums use them.

That being said when building a show a graphic could be built in the automation software.

No it wouldn’t. But it could affect play out of graphics and video.

I’m not sure if WABC transitioned yet but I noticed that the other O&Os are switching from Grass Valley Ignite automation to Ross OverDrive.

Mum making as in flower arranging? (Making sure that it’s not something else). So glad that the news here in the morning is straight newscast aside from some the trending segment and WJZ’s Manic Monday’s.

Contracts are locked up for years. Plus the individual athletic conferences make a lot of money by operating their own channels or using ESPN to make a channel for them. They get to keep all the revenues. The NBC RSN do show some college games here.

Yes he does.

That’s a pipe dream. I would be upset as he’d leave The 11th Hour a show he has molded in his own and you can see his personality. I’d imagine the finalists would be between Savannah, Kate or Jose. However I’d imagine they’d be reluctant to take Savannah from Today unless the worked it out where she would not have to come in as early for Today and come back for Nightly in the late afternoon.

I see what you mean, but the black/red color scheme is a lot easier to read than all the various color schemes and fonts before.

Do they necessarily need someone in the Mobile Weather Lab? Surely they could scrap the segment when there’s no one available.

Care to spill any more?

Isn’t this the same GM that FTVLive says is rarely seen in the office but somehow knows everything?

So far Gura hasn’t been political but I’m curious if he’ll show his opinion. Edited: since I updated to iOS 12 my keyboard has been autocorrecting and changing things like crazy.

They still may not have access to all the footage or high quality copies.
