Today's open had Sheinelle Jones, Craig Melvin AND Dylan Dreyer named on screen and in the VO...I guess that's official now then.
Not taken them long at all to silently announce that...

Breaking News?
-
Maybe, she was a network weekday morning anchor and a cable primetime news anchor. I don't see why any of the regular subs would be ranked above her (bar Tamron Hall, maybe). She'd make an excellent addition to the Nightly team.Just a thought since she's behind the desk tonight: Do you guys think NBC would officially have Erica Hill pull double duty on weekends?
Whilst talking about Weekend Nightly, it does seem that the weekend edition is less produced than the weekday one, maybe that is just because it uses the news nook? I don't know, but it certainly doesn't have the flare that Lester has emphasised in the last few months on the main show.

Well, maybe in the US. Here in the UK, we have Lorraine Kelly who has been presenting for just over 30 years now. She started as a reporter in 1984, and became a presenter in 1989. In 1993, when a new company took of production of the network morning show, Lorraine presented her own show at breakfast time a sort of 'KLG and Hoda' half hour, and later in '93 added anchoring the main show to her duties. In 1994, her show was extended to an hour, and she continued that show for 18 years. In 2012, she joined the main show (rebranded) as the host of the 7 - 8:30 portion (there was a newshour from 6-7), and continued her own show form 8:30 onwards. In 2014, the main show got rebranded again and Lorraine left to dedicate time to her own show. In addition to that, she's presented the mid-day show This Morning, similar to Today's Take I guess.Do we really needs 9 main hosts on one show, even if it is 4 hours long? Too many people is the problem. Tamron was fine at MSNBC and filling in when needed (like when Carson is never their due to The Voice). I cant believe NBC likes her that much that they gave into her contract demands for a spot in the 9am hour. Natalie is just plain boring. I don't think anyone would mind seeing her go. Matt has now been co-anchor for 18 years & with the show for 21. He's now officially the longest serving morning show co-anchor in history. A good record indeed, but now past time to pass the baton. Something has got to give. They need more vibrant personalities to right the ship. Hoda & Josh would be a good pairing. NBC should test them out sometime to see how it goes.
Matt trailing a close second then...

Peter Alexander in for Lester on this Sunday night. Hopefully not his first time in the chair, as he is brilliant.

What was Bryant doing there today?Geez...BriWi, Josh Elliott and Bryant Gumbel were all on Today in like the first minute of the show. Add in Lauer, and it's the past, present, potential future of the show, all with a little dose of the surreal.

Guest hosts next week:
http://www.today.com/allday/meredith-vieira-brian-williams-tom-brokaw-guest-host-today-1D80129378
Monday: Meredith Vieira
Tuesday: Brian Williams
Wednesday: Kathie Lee and Hoda
Thursday: Tom Brokaw
Friday: Maria Shriver
Interesting...but will Maria, Tom and Brian force that they get announced before Matt at the 7am? Maybe...I'm guessing KLG will obviously want to get announced full stop, seems like something she'd demand.

The open didn't have the 'with...' part of the announce, is that new today or what? Lara was sitting in her normal seat too.
-
What are the splashes of what I presume is water all about on the GMA open and on various other ABC News stuff?
-
Ahh right, TelevisionGFX uploaded a video and the bed went straight through to the announcer and the ABC News signature sounded different.
-
Has GMA debuted new opening music?
-
What is the cut of music News 4 NY are using instead of the normal LA Groove open for TINY and N4NY at 11am?

As far as I remember, before the Olympics, it was just "Today, live from Studio 1A..." and the graphics faded to the plaza/control room early. When did they start naming the weekend crew?
