newsbot 271 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 It might help the A block, but I suspect that Welker will be sucked in the web of fluff that dominates morning television. 1
froyo49 230 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Today with Hoda and Jenna will have a studio audience on Thursdays and Fridays starting next month. ”Hoda and Jenna and Friends” will be using Megyn Kelly’s old set. https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/hoda-jenna-today-live-studio-audience-1203469025/
Drew 152 Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 they should have given the 4th hour a audience from the very start with Kathie Lee and Hoda. Their part always seemed better with an audience. the name on thurs and fridays seems like they have too many &’s in it though 2
DENDude 221 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Here in Denver I have noticed in the past 2 weeks, that the TODAY show doesn't begin airing until 7:01AM because of commercials and with it's long into now it doesn't technically start until 7:02. Anyone else notice this slight delay?

Spintech33 126 Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 in retirement news.. Today/NBC News correspondent Ron Mott has retired. As of 1/24/20.

Their part always seemed better with an audience. the name on thurs and fridays seems like they have too many &’s in it though I agree that the 4th hour would work well with live studio audience. I'd imagine NBC may be testing the waters on having Hoda and Jenna in studio 6A on Thursdays and Fridays to see whether they'd want to do studio audience shows 5 days a week. I'd also imagine NBC continuing to tinker with 4th hour. I could see 4th hour getting renamed to "Later Today", and maybe adding 2 or 3 additional female co-hosts to the panel if they decide to go studio 6A permanently. 4th hour doing Today's Talk discussion (equivalent of Hot Topics) at the start of the show. Keeping segments, like Ambush Makeovers with Louis Laqueri, and usual celebrity guests, DIY segments, etc.

MidwestTV 1244 Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 I'd only support a 5th hour if it was hard storytelling. Aka, the first half hour of the Today show.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 The only way they'll get the fifth hour if "Days of Our Lives" goes bye-bye.

My thoughts exactly, although, here in the Southern Plains, KFOR, KTEN, KJRH, and KXAS all have one hour midday newscasts, with that, it would be either the news goes or Days goes.

My thinking is that NBC would only add that fifth hour of Today if Sony ends production of Days of Our Lives because there's no way NBC takes away the 11am or 12pm slots from the affiliates (and certainly not the 2pm or 3pm slots either)

TheRolyPoly 2592 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Plus, if several NBC affiliates already preempt the 4th hour (most notably some Hearst ones like WBAL-TV Baltimore), then what's the point?

Could a potential fifth hour be headed to the Peacock streaming service, possibly with the option for affiliates to pick it up if they want? 1

That crossed my mind, giving a "news" option that's mostly "exclusive" to the new service.

This is a hard sell. Already WNBC, WCAU and WRC all have 11AM news.. Can't for see them returning back to 12noon news. However, as others indicate if DoOL get's canned than it's possible. WRC already has a 1 hour block for news meanwhile the other 2 have 30 min news with lifestyle shows at the bottom of the hour. Someone correct me if WTVJ has 11AM or 12noon news? Unless it's breaking news or any hard news content like the 1st hour, than a 5th hour isn't really needed. MSNBC with it's scheduling mambo jumbo does a good job covering the rest of the day with hard news. Only thing I see that NBC is taking notes from ABC's success with GMA.

No reason for them not go outside as long as they’re being safe and whatnot.
