The program maintains a general format of news stories, traffic reports and weather forecasts, but also includes sports summaries, and entertainment and feature segments. The local news cut-ins broadcast during Today (at approximately :26 and :56 minutes past the hour) are also branded as Today in New York. During the weekday edition, the anchors traditionally sign off with the sentence "The Today Show is next. That's what happening today in New York."

Broadcast history

Prior to becoming a full-fledged program, Today in New York existed as a brief summary of news headlines, weather, and sports, airing on WNBC-TV immediately preceding Today and usually running between five and 15 minutes in length. Beginning in 1983, with the launch of NBC News at Sunrise , Today in New York became a half-hour pre-taped interview show which ran at 6:00 a.m., prior to Sunrise at 6:30. In 1987 Today in New York returned to a news update format, and aired at 6:45 a.m. following the network business news show Before Hours.

When Before Hours was canceled by NBC in 1988, Today in New York was expanded to 30 minutes. Gradual expansions of the show's runtime followed: to one hour (6 to 7 a.m.) in 1990; to 90 minutes (starting at 5:30 a.m.) in 1994; to two hours (starting at 5:00 a.m.) by 1999; and to two-and-a-half hours (starting at 4:30 a.m.) in 2010. The program expanded to its current three-hour runtime (starting at 4:00 a.m.) on July 31, 2017. But on January 16, 2024, the program went back to 4:30.

Notable personalities

Jane Hanson served as the original anchor of the program. After being removed from the anchor desk of Live at Five in 1992, Tony Guida briefly co-anchored the program followed by Matt Lauer from 1992 to 1994 and Mary Civiello in 1997. Maurice DuBois followed as a co-anchor until he left for WCBS-TV in 2004; he was replaced by Rob Morrison.

Hanson, who remained with the station until November 2006 and later returned to WNBC as host of New York Live, [1] was replaced by Darlene Rodriguez in 2003. After Morrison's departure in June 2008, Michael Gargiulo became co-anchor of the program.
