    Plus there is precedent for taping the third hour of Today, seeing as Megyn Kelly Today was taped on most Fridays, and Kathie Lee and Hoda have been known to tape Friday editions. That's the most feasible option. But if they go the replacement route you're right, the bench is stretched thin. Unless they go with Kate Snow, Kristen Welker or Hallie Jackson (the latter two being incredibly valuable on the WH beat) or Dave Price/Janice Huff (they'd have to also work 6-7 day weeks unless they left WNBC which they wouldn't). I for one would like to see Sunday Today canceled and have Weekend Today revert to being on both Saturdays and Sundays. But I guess if it means Willie stays off the weekday show as much as possible, I'm fine with him getting Sunday as a consolation prize.

    Totally true, Sunday Today with Willie Geist should be cancelled because it's turning NBC into a boring show for viewers each morning. Make Weekend Today return to Sunday mornings PERIOD. And this is my point predictions to fix the problem 

  2. This day in history was the big debut of KNTV's first newscast as NBC after two years with The WB on New Year's Day 2002.

    17 years ago today, NBC moved affiliations in the San Francisco Bay Area. The result was all three (later four) networks owning a Bay Area TV station, KRON not only losing NBC but also ratings, and Young Broadcasting ending up in bankruptcy by the end of the decade due to its KRON purchase.

    Yeah it was the BIGGEST shakeup in Bay Area TV. They also dropped The WB prior to this newscast aired on ch. 11.

    I believe that NBC should drop the 4th hour and either replace it with another show or return the time to the stations.

    And NBC should add 10am newscasts to the list after the final hour of TODAY (if necessary)

    Today beats GMA, for 4 weeks in row, in total and in the demo.

    Do you think it has to do with Megyn Kelly leaving the Today franchise, or is GMA becoming unwatchable for a large number of viewers that might have switched to Today?

    None of the above, GMA has MORE viewers than Today. NBC News and TODAY have NO viewers tuning in and Savannah and Hoda are unlikable to watch. Robin, Michael and George are likeable to watch. So NBC's worst ratings along with Today are WRAL...and WBTS (back move Comcast). Sorry tvnewstalk, I have no words right now and I wish Today could eliminate the Orange Room and weekend editions as well oh and the 9am and 10am hours.

  6. Congrats to Lester Holt for being the most trusted news anchor in America.

     

    I think most viewers already knew he was trustworthy but in the age of ideological hyperpolitics, cat fighting, verbal fights and disillusionment. Lester Holt showed who he is, he is the only anchor who kept his dignity in tact and never resorted to losing who he is as a journalist.

     

    I have been saying on this forum for the last year, that Lester is by far NBC's greatest stability force and gem. He is more valuable then most of the hosts on the network. Majority of viewers know this.

    That was pathetic. Lester is NOT amazing. Both the viewers need to stop tuning in NBC, and think from Comcast why his ratings are low each year. No more Lester.

    The Today Show is number 1, across the board, for a second week in a row.

    Viewers..left mad. They DON'T LIKE NBC NEWS and The Today Show! This is the worst any kind of network have performed at this stage since 2000. Hoda and Savannah, should move to Fox News! The promotion was a BAD IDEA. There's no more viewers on NBC because GMA and CTM is still tracing neck and neck! Carson, has a bright future in this industry... to leave the morning program! His biggest problem is he can't travel back and fourth.

  8. It was reported on TVNT and another news website that KSLA got rid of their Sunday morning newscasts. That's not true because I watched recently and they had it on. Just making sure y'all know.

    So if KSLA is done with weekend mornings, that leaves KTBS as our only option of weekend AM news
