The turmoil surrounding NBC's Today show has been getting a lot of attention in recent weeks. The show has ceded its long-held number one position in the ratings to Good Morning America amid a high profile, unsuccessful tryout of Ann Curry as co-host. It may seem trivial, but it's a big deal to the TV networks where morning shows are big business.
A Maryland energy company wants to build the world's third-tallest structure to generate downdraft power in the Arizona desert.
The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to propose a new rule today that will require refiners to cut the amount of sulfur in gasoline by two thirds.
Personally, and this opinion is held by many, I like Ann Curry! She addressed stories with compassion and a humanness that is unique in your "switch from happy to sad" world of morning talk show TV. It was refreshing to hear and see an actual human being! I really don't know Ann nor anyone else in TV personally, but from a strictly viewer perspective, we stopped watching today and switched to GMA. Maybe it is time to change Mat out?
