Action Newsroom

Wow, I forgot about Juju Chang too. She was there for about two years, so it was so easy for her tenure to slip our minds. It'll be great to see her there too.

I'm so excited for this event!! 40 hour livestream, many past anchors and personalities returning, a HUGE celebration to be held. I so can't wait to check it out. Maybe even see Kevin Newman and Lisa McRee on national TV again.

Whatever the case (I think it's reality augmentation, too), this is a brilliant implement to the already brilliant segment and really makes it more (to use another segment's name) "Eye-Opening", attentive and amazing. I loved the "Headlines" segment since the start, but I love it even more because of it.

Ummm...any reason for this?

Erica Hill is joined by an unexpected partner on Weekend Today this morning: Harry Smith. It's been a long while since I've seen him anchor a program, and I'm very excited to see him behind a desk again. And my fellow Early Show fans will enjoy this. (cough Daybreak cough)

I will say on Pat is that she is one of the most professional and humble personalities I've had the pleasure of watching throughout my life. She's sweet, lovely and vivacious, yet smart, tough and extremely classy. She can surely make a newscast one to watch. She and Ukee were (and still are) one of the best TV pairing in Philadelphia TV history--Their chemistry was undeniable and fantastic. Philadelphia (TV and in general) will certainly miss her. I will miss her. I wish the best in her future endeavors and in retirement.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I just heard from what Erica and Nicole said this morning. Speaking of the mornings situation, it's Nicole. I'm sure it's a schedule like that, but from the past few days I've watched, Erica was joined by Nicole.

When I watched the morning news, they announced that Pat's final broadcast is at Noon today. You guys should watch.

Ha. I don't think GMA is going to do anything crazy to gain back the A25-54 crown. Besides, it's still the leader in Viewers. And it's only been a month--GMA probably could take it back soon. Or Today could finally win some ratings marker in a while. Give it time. We'll see from here.

Jim Gardner is anchoring the 10pm on WPHL tonight. Something we've never pictured happening is happening.

I really can't stand when anchors of news programs use the words "that" and "those" when referring to a story at the top. It kinda infuriates me when they say them as if it's something really bad, even if the story isn't something bad. Even if/when the story is about a person or a thing, they use "that" or "those". Also, they don't say "the"; not more than "that" or "those", or even just as much. That's why I'm annoyed at this most of the time. Really can't stand it.

^^Great job with the video. I love this new look. So soft and fuzzy, yet so serious and powerful. After watching this the first time, I immediately loved this one more than the last one. The logo and L3s are the best parts. Really fits the tone of this new era for Muir and his program. I do realize that it does have a touch of Nightly News in it, especially in the globe map, "small loading text" and use of squares. Other than that resemblance, this is a great update.

I love the logo; it reminds me of one of the many used during the Peter Jennings era and the first logo used during Diane Sawyer's run. Very simple, but effective.

Kathy Orr finally made her debut on 29. She is just as great as she was on her last day on KYW. They were stupid to drop her.

Wow, these look really nice. Took the bright color and gradients out for a flatter, simpler look. Good job there. Although the placement of the title looks weird to me. I like the wording as this: CBS THIS MORNING Overall, it's a great change.

Great! Took them long enough. I know, right? I mean... Sharrie is a really good anchor/reporter and seems great enough for the job. Congrats to her for the promotion.

I love this new look of Today. The white colors and palette make it (obviously) much more brighter and clearer; it's like a window was covered up this whole time, and they finally released the curtain. The couch area is the best part. The whites show off the most, and and the subtle hint of orange make it so much better than under the look of the last design. And, I'll be honest. I love and hate the new desk. I actually loved the last desk for how uniquely wooden it was, and how the logo looked etched in it. This one is really nice, but I felt some type of envy towards it. And when I first saw it, it looked like the colored part was a reddish color, other than orange. The Today logo looks really nice, and is a good reprise of the 2006 desk. And the smaller size is oddly nice. The Orange Room is very nice under the expansion. The white look is oddly cool, but there should've been some of the namesake color in there, which makes it odd. Also, there are new on-screen graphics (other than the L3) which look really good. At the end of the day, this new-look Today is so great. The look around is just perfect and reminds me fondly of the 2006 set, but without the sterility and dullness of it, thanks to the pops of Orange all around. I do think it needs a little more Orange in places of White, but other than that, it's awesome.

I liked the changes made at the beginning of the season: Nicolle, Rosie P., Rosie O's return (yes, even thar), the new set, and the updated theme. I wish that theme stayed, and tha Nicolle never left, but I'm looking forward to Joy's return and what this new season will bring. And I loved this version of the theme. Miles more than the one they used for seven seasons. So smooth, so catchy and so awesome.

Hotchie Motchie!

More details are emerging from NBC News itself. Here's the news from NewscastStudio: http://www.newscaststudio.com/2015/08/31/more-today-studio-1a-renovation-details-emerge/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=FBPost Most telling: A report that the rotating turntable will remain. The floor is being reworked The wall coverings will be updated The Orange Room is expanding

I understand what you're going at. And in hindsight, I see it now. The orange was a bit too much. I thought a little more blue or white with give the set some balance. I loved the ribbon video wall, the the expanding video wall and the rotating floor. I hope they do a better job with this now-named new set or still-named update. I know it can't please everyone still, I will say I hope this one is a better fit for all of us to look at.
