I don't think I am reading that much into it - except what is pretty explicit, which is that NBC does not see Guthrie as a major asset, who either can carry the primetime show or is worth using the primetime show to enhance her profile. I am assuming she is in Sochi for the Today show - if she isn't, then, I guess the point is made all the more. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
