Liugrad2020 80 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 5 hours ago, Action Newsroom said: It's official. Tom Llamas is now anchor and senior national correspondent at NBC News. He'll present a prime time newscast on NBC News Now, as well as contribute to Nightly News and Today. As expected. Hopefully it’s a good move for his career.

24994J 5589 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Look at that. We waited, and we eventually found out what he was going to do. Our national period of holding our breath is over. But really, this makes sense. This surely puts him in the mix for Nightly News whenever Lester hangs it up, and it gives NBC a solid name to helm an underserved segment of NBC's streaming option. I don't know what kind of nightly show NBC has offered in a primetime window, but I feel like they're late to that particular party, compared to CBSN and ABC News Live.

One of Brian Williams first assignments at NBC way back in 1993 was to fill in as the news reader on the Today Show.

jrogo 196 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Tom’s new show, Top Story, on NBC News NOW stated tonight. He’ll be using studio 4E formerly used by MSNBC, looks like NNN & Peacock shows will be gaining a new space for coverage.

mightynine 290 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 So Top Story does bring its own graphics spin - there's a different NBC News Now logo and the L3s are in a box rather than the strips you normally see.

GodfreyGR 670 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hot Take- Looks better than what NN has right now... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18144-tom-llamas/page/2/#findComment-265187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyWatch 239 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I was excited for this until I saw that they're leading it off with "BREAKING NEWS" from hours earlier in the day... ugh Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18144-tom-llamas/page/2/#findComment-265188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

freelanceproducer 180 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Tom anchored Top Story tonight from a set I don’t recognize. Does anyone else recognize it? Or is this possibly a new studio for his show/NBC News Now? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18144-tom-llamas/page/2/#findComment-271488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the picture below with the couch and then look at the one where he’s standing, zoom in and look at the wording on the wall to the left, it’s Identical. MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez has used the set for her weekend show a few times as well.

Streaming news services or shows' subject matter seems the same as all other US news: COVID, politics, whatever specific international crisis like Ukraine. and the trial of the moment. Little differentiation acorss platforms like international coverage.

LVForward 94 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 So do we know why both Top Story and The 11th Hour are BOTH coming from Miami this week. Are Tom and Stephanie on Spring Break? Stephanie will need to be careful - there is a 12a-6a curfew in Miami Beach starting tonight.

nathannah 2466 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Just noticed that Top Story is now a part of NBC's deep late-night schedule before Early Today, replacing the Today fourth hour replay (and timed out to end right at the top of the hour).
