Title: Jim Cantore to fill in for Al Roker on Friday
Post by: lfmusiclover on November 24, 2008, 07:21:14 PM
My source just told me that he got a call from Jim Cantore who told him that he will be filling in for Al Roker this Friday on the Today show!

My source says that Jim was very stoked about having the opportunity to fill in for Roker.

And, we're also seeing, for the first time, TWC staff anchoring on NBC.

I didn't. I was too busy standing in lines 30-50 people long. Stores were more crowded today than I ever expected them to be.  :yes:

Yeah, the fourth hour of TODAY is a waste.  Hoda and Kathy Lee are very annoying if you ask me.  A little too much coffee.  Plus..there is NO news what-so-ever.

And just because you said it would it means I should believe it? I think not... :thinking:

Since when was the Today show four hours long? Last I checked, my affiliate airs their own programming at 10AM ET. :unsure:

Since September 2007  :whistling: (i'm pretty sure).  The show was hosted by Hoda Kotb, Natalie Mirales, and Ann Curry, up until April, when the show is hosted by Hoda Kotb and Kathy Lee Giffert.

Some affiliates (mine is one) do not show all four hours of Today.

That fourth hour comes on WFLA-TV at noon.

the 4th hour comes on WCAU-TV at the time it's on live (10am)

I believe it is only required of a station to air the first two hours together in a live setting, and three hours total.

WPXI airs all 4 hours (7-11am et).

I believe you are correct.

I stand corrected, WCAU-TV actually does air all four hours of Today. It used to air "10!" at 10AM, but now it's on at 11AM. Shows you how little I watch NBC. :P (I'm a WTXF guy)
