Scheduling and anchors
Radford and Vicky Nguyen anchor the first two hours from Noon–2 p.m. ET, with Snow and Essamuah anchoring between 2 p.m.–4 p.m. ET.[1]
NBC stations carry one hour of coverage between those times (usually their Noon or 1 p.m. local time hour), though some stations carry the earliest Noon ET block at 11 a.m. in the Central Time Zone directly out of Today with Hoda & Jenna (or some Eastern stations which carry local or syndicated programming and tape delay that program an hour), freeing up their entire early afternoon for local news and syndicated programming.
History
NBC News Daily was announced on August 3, 2022. The program replaced NBC's long-running soap opera Days of Our Lives on the network's daytime lineup after it moved exclusively to NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock the same day. The program offers "up-to-the-minute national and international news", and provides the option for NBC affiliates to add local news inserts. It is also simulcast on NBC News' streaming channel NBC News Now.[2][3] NBC News Daily competes primarily with ABC's GMA3: What You Need To Know (which is produced by the staff of the ABC News streaming channel ABC News Live).[4]
As it is carried by NBC News Now through its streaming presences, it airs without pre-emption online when NBC Sports carries live golf and tennis coverage on weekdays, though breaking news coverage coordinated by the staffs of either Today or NBC Nightly News or the breaking news desk of NBC News takes precedence.
