. The program was broadcast at 8:00 a.m. ET and was 90 minutes long with Meet the Press
following at 9:30 a.m. Five years later, on August 1, 1992, the Saturday edition made its debut, expanding the broadcast schedule of the Today show franchise to seven days a week. The program is broadcast from Studio 1A (also houses Dateline
) in Rockefeller Plaza in New York, although Sunday Today originated from Washington
for a few years. The Sunday edition of Today scaled back to one hour while Meet the Press expanded to an hour.
The weekend editions were initially titled Saturday Today or Sunday Today, as applicable, in order to distinguish them from the weekday program. Since the late 1990s, all editions of the program have officially simply carried the title Today, although Weekend Today is still used for promotional purposes, in order to distinguish it from its weekday counterpart.
Unlike the weekday edition of Today where news updates are reported at the top of the hour, news updates are given every half hour.
Weekend editions are tailored to the priorities and interests of weekend viewers—offering special series such as Saturday Today on the Plaza, featuring live performances by the biggest names in music and Broadway outside the studio throughout the summer.
