Behind The Camera Changes on Today Show

The below tweaks to structure of the shows comes the same day as this:

NBC News is replacing the longtime director of “Today” in the latest sign of a top-to-bottom overhaul at the morning show, which is trying to climb out of a second-place ratings pit after a painful year there.

A spokeswoman for “Today” declined to comment. But in an internal memorandum last Friday, the “Today” show executive producer, Don Nash, wrote, “We are looking at every aspect of the show — tweaking where the show needs tweaking, overhauling where the show needs overhauling. Many changes have been implemented already, many more are in the works.”

ATTN ALL STATIONS: As you may already know, the U.S. Open Championship is in a rain delay at this time. If inclement weather continues, Saturdays coverage on NBC could possibly move up to as early as 10a ET. Please monitor Whats New messages for further updates as necessary.

Friday mid-day update: There's no mention of a move up in APT for tomorrow morning.

So, What Will NBC Air @ 8pm on Fridays This Summer?

Last night's announcement that Dateline is moving its two hour broadcast from 8-10p to 9-11p bumps out Brian Williams' Rock Center hour, but APT shows the entire summer, from June 28th until September 20th, with TBA at 8pm.

NBC is already re-running the America's Got Talent encore twice each week, so adding a third repeat is a technical possibility. Stupid, but possible.

Extending Dateline to three hours is also possible and would be the cheapest way to duck and cover through the summer.

Or, we could see it change each Thursday afternoon, just because NBC can.

What's your guess?

~~As I look at the schedule, I'm tempted to predict NBC will fill it with 3rd run Off Their Rockers. They'll want to burn these off while Betty is hot.. and (sigh) still with us.~~

~~While you're at it, guess what NBC will air on Monday, June 24th if there is no Game 6. APT shows this TBA as well.~~

Update: CAMP encores fill Friday nights at 8pm, and if there is no Game 6, we get a repeat of the AMT premiere.

Blackhawks vs Bruins in Stanley Cup #1 on Wed, June 12th

It took an exciting double overtime tonight, but the Blackhawk victory over the LA Kings means Stanley Cup Game One moves up to Wednesday, June 12th.

The Bruins take on the Blackhawks. As a former Chicago resident, I know who I'm rooting for.

Stanley Cup Game #1 Could Move to Wednesday, June 12th

Event : POSSIBLE MOVE-UP SCENARIO FOR NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS - GAME #1 / TEAMS TBD (LIVE ACROSS) (8pm-10:59:30pm ET; 7pm-9:59:30pm CT; 6pm-8:59:30pm MT; 5pm-7:59:30pm PT)
Wednesday, June 12, 2013

 Note #1: NHL Stanley Cup Finals Game #1 may move up (from  
 Saturday 6/15) to Wednesday 6/12 dependent upon length of  
 preceding East and West Conference Finals series. The sequence of  
 events triggering a possible move-up is TBD.  
  
 Note #2: If BOTH East and West Conference Finals require a  
 7th game then either the East or West (TBD) Game #7 will air on  
 broadcast Network, 8-10:59:30pm ET live to all stations. If there  
 is only one Game #7 then it will air on cable (NBC Sports  
 Network), not on broadcast Network.
