Weekend Today is the unofficial title of the weekend editions of Today, an American morning news and talk show which airs daily on NBC.
The Sunday edition of Today (Sunday Today) premiered on September 20, 1987 hosted by Maria Shriver with Boyd Matson and Garrick Utley alternating as co-anchors. 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.
