This used to be shown at 7 in the morning Philippine time, that means it's 12 hours delayed; even then, i enjoyed watching it as it gave me the feeling that it was happening live (fooling myself eh...); but then it would get a bit disappointing when i have to leave for work and couldn't finish the whole show.
Then sometime ago, when SkyCable rearranged its channels (the way they do every so often - maybe to accommodate new channels or cover for channels whose contracts were not renewed), The Today Show got lost. But a new channel was born - Ch. 16, Talk TV. Lo and behold, they show The Today Show at night already, i do not know if it was a live telecast, i doubt it, but what i'm sure of is that the delay is just a few hours at most.
Wow, that was perfect for me, i now have all the time in the world to watch the full show, and yes, i get to see Hoda and Kathie Lee do their funny antics too. Okay, i can actually catch snippets of the show on the net, but watching it on the tube is different.
This is such a feel-good show for me, i can't really explain why. I'm sure you all have something like this.
And today, Meredith Vieira just announced she's leaving the show after about 5 years. Didn't realize that it has been 5 years since Katie Couric left and Meredith took over. One can see how hard a decision it was for her because it was obvious that she also enjoyed being on the show. She wants to spend time with her husband (who i understand has MS but is now in good health) and kids, one of whom is graduating from college, the other one from high school (lest you think i know her so well, i just read those in the Today website articles). Anyway, what more can you say to someone who wants to be with her family - go girl!

And so, she will be missed. Glad to know though that Ann Curry is taking her place. Like Matt, Al and Natalie, Ann also possesses a bright personality perfect for a morning show like Today.
With their bright and sunny personalities, i do not really mind watching them at night.
