Editing Today (American TV program) (section)

==Current weekday showtimes and arrangements==
The program airs live in the Eastern Time Zone<ref name="exclusivity">The weekday editions air live exclusively in the Eastern Time Zone, even when it goes on the road.</ref> and on tape delay beginning at 7:00&nbsp;a.m. in each of the remaining time zones. The remaining three feeds are frequently updated with minor fixes and repairs, and often, correspondents will tape updates that are then edited into the delayed feeds. NBC affiliates in some markets including in the east coast, such as [[WYFF]] in Greenville, South Carolina, air the third and fourth hours of ''Today'' on tape delay to accommodate live syndicated programs airing at such times.

When [[breaking news]] stories warrant, ''Today'' will produce a West Coast edition by broadcasting parts of the show live for viewers there. In such an event, the live portion does not typically go beyond the 7:00&nbsp;a.m. (Pacific Time) half-hour or the bloc before the first set of advertisements. Once completed, the remaining blocs/segments taped from the East Coast edition will follow. Throughout the live segment, the presenters will explicitly make some reference to the show being live on the west coast from time to time until the tape-delayed segments resume.

In some instances, when an [[NBC News]] Special Report of [[breaking news]] or a live event occurs during the ''Today'' show time slot in the eastern time zone, the show's anchors will assume hosting responsibilities and the show will go live across all time zones until such time when the Special Report segment finishes. At that point, viewers outside the Eastern Time Zone will return to regularly scheduled programming (i.e. the segment of the ''Today'' show feed already in progress in their corresponding time zone or their local newscast).

===Local cut-ins===
During the first two hours of the program, local [[network affiliate]]s are offered a four-minute window at 26 and 56 minutes past the hour to insert a local newsbreak (which usually also includes a local forecast, and in large and mid-sized markets, a brief traffic report) and local advertisements. Certain NBC affiliates that produce an additional morning newscast for a sister station or [[digital subchannel]] may prerecord the local inserts aired during the first one to two hours of ''Today'' to focus production responsibilities on just one of their local channels.

===Satellite radio simulcast===
Starting in June 2014, [[SiriusXM]] began simulcasting ''Today'' on a new channel called Today Show Radio, Channel 108, with ''The Best of Today'' starting at 6{{nbsp}}am (Eastern) and the ''Today Show'''s live broadcast from Studio 1A at Rockefeller Center in New York City starting at 7:00 a.m. (Eastern), with a tape delayed broadcast at beginning 7:00 a.m. Pacific time. On Mondays ''The Hoda Show'' with [[Hoda Kotb]] is broadcast exclusive on the Today Show Radio channel. On Tuesdays ''Off the Rails'' with [[Al Roker]], [[Dylan Dreyer]] and [[Sheinelle Jones]] airs at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern). On Wednesdays ''The Happy Hour'' with the producers of ''Kathie Lee and Hoda'' airs, and on Thursdays ''Today Show Confidential'' with the producers of ''TODAY'' airs. The channel also simulcasts ''[[NBC Nightly News]]'' with [[Lester Holt]] at 6:30&nbsp;p.m. (Eastern) The Today Show Radio service is not currently available on SiriusXM's sister service in Canada and Channel 108 is locked out for Canadian subscribers.
