MorningNews 1441 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I really don’t like Savannah and believe she’s one of the weakest personalities to grace the show since Jim Hartz. She just doesn’t do a damn thing for me. Megan would be an awesome addition to the program so I agree with what you’ve said. Her and Brian could be magical. Also to the above poster, Today has built their most successful years off of making their anchors the stars of the show. I don’t really expect them to move away from that winning formula.

Action Newsroom 1277 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 When she was just new to the network she guest hosted the 10am hour when Kathie was out and I really liked the chemistry between Kelly and Hoda. Fixed. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192499 Share on other sites More sharing options...

She may not do a damn thing for you, but the Savannah/Hoda duo is winning in the ratings. And that's all NBC cares about. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192506 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat News 4745 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Today show should go back to basics, focus on news and human interest. Stop trying to make the hosts interesting and make them stars. There seems to be no rush to have a male co-anchor. Network morning news nowadays is cotton candy programming. Yes! Lets go back to the manly days of Today. 5 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the show has been languished in second place since she got there up until a few weeks ago. The ratings change could be a testament to Hoda and not Savanah. So like I said, she doesn’t do a damn thing for me. And for the last 6 years, save for the past 4 weeks, she hasn’t done anything for a majority of American morning TV viewers either. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, TODAY show has wone Weeks in the ratings with Matt and Savannah. And you can't say the majrotiy and when only 12.5 Million out of 323 Million American watches the morning shows combined. The problem was not Savannah. GMA has been losing viewership as well even if they have been number 1 overall in viewers but TODAY Show has been number 1 in the Age 25-54 age group for over a year which is what really matters to the Network and Advertisers! It more important By the way, Robin Roberts doesn't do a d*m thing for me. She actually doesn't do anything for Men in general. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off of your usual grammatically incorrect laden post, I’m going to assume you didn’t comprehend what I said. My comment talked about the majority of morning television viewers, not the majority of Americans overall. Also, all three morning programs have been losing viewers by the millions. Really not sure that a personal attack on Robin Roberts was called for. Although it’s quite funny because she isn’t supposed to do anything for men. The morning programs are targeted towards middle aged mothers, not men. This wasn’t even a comparison between Robin and Savannah, it was a statement that Savannah is one of the weakest anchors the Today Show has ever had - in my opinion. Ratings success could easily be because of Hoda and not Savannah. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192548 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningNews 1441 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Makes sense considering the ratings over the last few weeks. Interested to see how the show develops over the new year. I expected NBC to go outside of the network for a big star similar to how they poached Meredith from The View.

MorningNews 1441 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 God, morning television has become so terrible. I could only stomach so much of Today before having to turn it off but I was surprised to not see a package of some sorts chronicling Hoda’s career and time on the show as she transitions into the co-host role. Those type of pieces seem to be a standard on the show as they’ve done one for Matt, Meredith, Ann, and then Savannah when they became anchors on the show. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickp 337 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I like Hoda, but believe that craig melvin or Willie Geist would've been a better choice. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192882 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told I rather have had Willie but I think they wanted to play it safe. What they might do now I am expecting is groom Willie as Hoda replacement. She will probably only be there 3-5 years IMO. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/page/37/#findComment-192886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
