Scheduling and anchors

Radford and Vicky Nguyen anchor the first two hours from 12:00 noon–2:00 p.m. ET, with Snow and Essamuah anchoring between 2:00 p.m.–4:00 p.m. Eastern.^[1]

NBC stations carry one hour of coverage between those times (usually their 12:00 noon or 1:00 p.m. local time hour), though some stations carry the earliest 12:00 noon ET block at 11:00 a.m. in the Central Time Zone directly out of Today with Jenna & Friends (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. The two NBC affiliate networks in Alaska and Hawaii (both owned by Gray Media) air the final 3-4 p.m. hour on a local delay for their respective time zones.

History

Logo of NBC News Daily used from September 2022 until November 2023

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 and weather inserts, as they would during Today. 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 or Olympic coverage, 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.
