NBC’s pet project that is supposed to be based on WTVJ’s 10am show ‘South Florida Today’ is ready for lunch according to Broadcasting and Cable. The new show will be tied to recently aquired women’s site iVillage and be named iVillage Live. It will air from Universal Studios in Florida and possibly have a time slot of 10am to flow out of Today.
Which begs the question – what happens to ‘South Florida Today’? It wouldn’t make sense to remove an all-local show with something national, especially because NBC6 would get a lot less local ads in which means less money for them.
I really like South Florida Today… I watch it any time I’m home at 10 on weekdays (which isn’t all the much but still)… I hope they find away to keep the show, even if they change the time it airs.
Why is it that WTVJ produces this show and not WESH(??)?
WTVJ dosent produce Ivillage – NBC does (or NBC daytime) They only modled the stupid show off of WTVJ’s south florida today to make it similar to it. I believe only NBC O n O stations air it, perhaps a few more. It has to air live at noon – so that would mean stations would hae to move their noon news, why som have I dont know, because Im sure they’re newscasts got better ratings then that stupid show. WESH dosent even air the show that is shot here in O-town. But from what I here in August they are moving to Chicago to the NBC OnO studio.
Wikiepdia has it listed as WTVJ producing it so I was just wondering. Hm… It being moved to Chicago? I think it might even be a better choice to have it moved down here to Miami and put that NBC Stuido In the B. Bay to use.
