The Today show has traditionally been the morning news program of choice among younger news viewers. In this day and age, that means a lot of cord-cutters too. With that in mind, the franchise has developed a robust offering of summer digital programming for Today show fans who can’t get to a TV in the morning.

“This new season of digital original programming underscores our promise to deliver emotions and solutions to the Today audience,” said Ashley Parrish, executive producer for Today digital and vp of strategic content. “We are now expanding that promise to entertain and inform our loyal viewers all day, every day, and to bring them Today beyond the four hours of the morning broadcast.”

“There is an appetite from our audience and advertising partners for more quality Today content beyond the traditional television screen,” added Trevor Fellows, evp of digital partnerships, NBCUniversal. “We are delighted to roll out this new programming which allows for Today to reach viewers 24/7 everywhere.”
