Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb are the new No. 1 morning team.
With their Today show pairing made official last week, following the November departure of Matt Lauer, Guthrie and Kotb finished first in both total viewers and the ad-friendly A25-54 demo last week. This is actually the 6th week at No. 1 for Today, since the week Lauer was fired.
All three morning shows are down compared to the same week last year. Today is down -2 percent in viewers and down -10 percent in the demo, ABC’s Good Morning America is down -9 percent in viewers and down -14 percent in the demo and CBS This Morning, which gets a new co-host starting tomorrow in John Dickerson, replacing Charlie Rose, was down -3 percent in viewers and down -11 percent in the demo.
