TV & VIDEO - March 23, 1990
It’s ‘Today,’ Yesterday: NBC’s “Today” show, temporarily in Los Angeles, may be making some viewers wonder how it got the sun to rise so early--since it is 4 a.m. on the West Coast when the show starts in the East. It did it through the magic of videotape. Each morning’s show actually was taped the previous day at 3:30 p.m. PST, spokeswoman Mary Neagoy said Thursday. Only its news segments were live. “Today” is normally seen live in Eastern and Central times zones. The show will appear today, taped again, from a historic Spanish section in downtown Los Angeles. Bryant Gumbel advised viewers that the shows were taped a day earlier to take advantage of the California sunshine.
