===Scheduling history=== When ''Today'' debuted, it was seen live only in the [[Eastern Time Zone]] and [[Central Time Zone]], broadcasting for three hours each morning but seen for only two hours in each time zone. Since 1958, ''Today'' has only broadcast live on the Eastern Time Zone, and has been on [[broadcast delay]] for the five other U.S. time zones (Central, [[Mountain Time Zone]], [[Pacific Time Zone]], [[Alaska Time Zone]] and [[Hawaii–Aleutian Time Zone]]). Partly to accommodate host Dave Garroway's declining health, the program ceased live broadcasts in September 1959, opting instead to broadcast an edition taped the previous afternoon punctuated with live newscasts each half-hour. The experiment, which drew criticism from many sides, ended when John Chancellor succeeded Garroway in July 1961.<ref>{{cite news |title=Stevenson Plans ABC Series |first=Richard F. |last=Shepard |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |page=55 |date=June 30, 1961}}</ref> ''Today''{{'}}s weekday version was a two-hour program for 48 years, airing from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. in all time zones except for [[Alaska]], [[Hawaii]], and the [[United States Virgin Islands|U.S. Virgin Islands]], until NBC expanded the program to three hours (extending the program until 10:00 a.m.) on October 2, 2000. A fourth hour (which extended the program until 11:00 a.m.) was eventually added on September 10, 2007. In August 2013, ''Today'' released a mobile app for smartphones and tablets.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.today.com/allday/say-hello-todays-all-new-app-phone-tablet-6C10850051 |last=Brown |first=Jen |date=August 8, 2013 |title=Say Hello to Today's All New App for Phone and Tablet |work=Today |access-date=August 7, 2020}}</ref>
