For a long time since the advent of tape "Today" in the Central time zone was the second hour live, then the first hour on tape. I believe the change was made because "Good Morning America" started being on tape for both hours in Central and this was when "GMA" was at the height of the David Hartman/Joan Lunden era when it was kicking "Today"'s butt in the ratings. So "GMA" didn't just influence the content of "Today" (and some people today would be shocked how relatively serious a program "Today" was from the end of the Garroway era when News took it over until the advent of "GMA"). -- TV or Not TV ....
