  1. Any changes to 1A?

    [ edit to add the following]

    Saturday Today came from Studio 6A today. I did not watch and do not know if they had an live audience. [MEDIA=instagram]Bflb60kHMz5[/MEDIA]

  2. Untitled.thumb.png.0a608d96b3ed4ad1e8a40444291891f9.png Any idea what studio Today is coming from this morning? Sheinelle has a loop of 30 rock plaza behind her, and Dave Price did weather from the same studio at a large video grid. Looks very polished for an insert studio.
  3. As previously discussed I know that it would be foolish/ impossible to pull Savannah but I wouldn’t hate a Megyn- Hoda partnership. When she was just new to the network she guest hosted the 11am hour when Kathie was out and I really liked the chemistry between Kelly and Hoda. I know it’s an unpopular opinion but Savannah really doesn’t do anything for me. My second dream anchoring duo would be Megyn Kelly and Brian Williams. I feel as if their wits are perfect for each other. Most likely the most improbable thing ever but I would love to see it. I also mentioned a while back it would be cool to see Williams on Morning Joe, hell might even give me a reason to wake up earlier.

  4. Apologizing in advance for terrible quality of these screenshots...

    A sneak peak inside studio 6A, home of Megyn Kelly Today:

  5. With school being canceled all week for the hurricane, I have immersed myself with some of TV's morning offerings. Very impressed with Today's Take (granted this is the only episode i've seen in full), the chemistry between everyone feels very real. What will happen to Jones, Roker, and Dreyer? The later two I imagine will expand their weather roles with Today, but I have not seen Sheinelle on MSNBC lately. Being a personality/host is kinda a secondary role of all them.

  6. I liked what little bit I saw, but I hate the overly animated/distorted graphics. It's hard to explain, but some of the graphic elements are very distracting because they are constantly moving/flashing. You have to watch to understand what I mean.

    If this is anything like it,

    I definitely understand where you are coming from. Not a big fan of it, seems a little over the top. The continuous branding behind him reminds me of Hardball.

     

    A NewscastStudio article says it's in 3A, which is weird because Nightly is going on during that time.

  7. One thing I found interesting was that Ari posted on Instagram Stories was that only on Friday they started rehearsals. And it looked like they were working on the theme song as well in the NBC Music department. I imagine it will be some hip hop or rap type thing based on the show's name and Ari's tweets about loving rap.

    Did anyone catch it? I didn't have a chance to watch it.

    Yasmin Vossoughian anchoring MSNBC live from video wall section of 3A, showing a loop of 4E.

    New city graphics visible behind guests, notice the Nightly News inspired shot of rock center on the left in the upper right box.

  9. Where did you see the logo and press release?

  10. I think a lot of people noticed something was a bit wrong with CNN during the initial craze over the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines plane. Having nonstop "BREAKING NEWS" that leads to constant speculation about what could have happened to the plane (including Don Lemon suggesting something supernatural could have happened or when he read the theory that it could have been sucked into a black hole), Don Lemon essentially playing with a toy airplane at the desk, and the big on-screen countdown to the moment the batteries on the plane's black box went out (they still use this giant on-screen box for other countdowns and promotions, and I hate it, it takes up too much of the screen and looks really bad, and it reminds me of Fox News when they had an on-screen terror alert level, only even THAT wasn't as annoyingly out of place). CNN seems to have decided to go the more sensational route, and that includes the Brady Bunch-esque talking heads screaming over each other over social and political issues, which I personally find unwatchable. If MSNBC goes the more professional route, I'm all for that.

    Ali Velshi is by far the best on MSNBC Live. He is a hard news reporter who loves numbers. I can see why they paired him and Stephanie Rhule together for 11:00, (both have a past in finance) but Rhule always comes off very whiny. She voices the usual amount of speculation you'd expect for MSNBC, but the whole "yep Trump did this" followed by a scowl and the "wow" after each reporter, gets to me. I don't necessarily like criticizing anyone but it gets to a point where the network is as only good as their people.
