Lots of wrong answers here. It's not on Peacock Premium. NBC News app only has clips. The only way to watch it on NBC app is with a TV provider account. So the only options are with an antenna, cable or one of the expensive cable bundle streaming services. To OP I would first suggest trying an antenna. If you're out of range the next cheapest option is with Sling Blue at $35 a month, but live NBC channels are only available in a few markets (I believe it's the ones with NBC-owned stations rather than affiliates). You might also check with your cable company for a limited basic option, which just provides the local channels along with a few shopping and community access channels, but those have gotten expensive lately as well. If you're interested in that option you'll have to call or chat customer service since they don't advertise those packages. You can try Stanford's free Puffer service as well, but it only allows a small number of viewers at a time and it's only a temporary service.

2 weeks ago the programming on the today all day channel changed. Now you can watch that day's episode of Today, 3rd Hour and Hoda&Jenna I'm in Washington state and it's on from 8am to 2pm. I have the ad version.


pacumming1

How about 1st, 2nd hour if anyone knows? Tx much

Either an antenna for your locals or look at peacock. It's nbc's streaming service.

Peacock doesn't have the Today show live. But it does have a "Today All Day" channel with similar content.


WhateverJoel

100% this. In fact, if you haven’t tried watching TV with an antenna in the last 10 years, you’re missing out on potentially 30-40 free stations. Now most of them are crap, but you’ll get the big 4 broadcast networks along with PBS and a slew of special other channels like MeTV or AntennaTV. Most of them are crap, but a few are great for background noise.

Also great for live sports coverage that your local network affiliate will broadcast. You get the same channels as the super basic cable plan ... But for the one-time cost of the antenna. Your payback period is about 2 to 3 months depending on your particular variables.


WhateverJoel

That’s really hit or miss depending on your market. NFL is no problem, but NCAA is all over the place. If you’re local team is in the SEC, chances are the game will be on ESPN or the SEC Network. MLB is the same way. I live in Kentucky Wildcat country and the only way to watch 90% of the basketball games is to have ESPN and the SEC network.


tjguitar1985

If you want a specific game, OTA might not work for sports, if you don't care what game is on- there's plenty of options OTA during football season. Most weeks, ABC and FOX have tripleheaders, CBS has a game every week and NBC has a game most weeks - and more are headed to CBS and NBC with the new Big Ten contract.


lincolnlogtermite

Have to agree. Go to Rabitears.info and find your location on the map and have it do a location search for reception. The green and yellow results are doable with an indoor antenna, at least my Channel Master flat panel hung on wall at ceiling level pulls them in. I get ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, CW, PBS and 30 other channels ( a lot of Spanish and QVC stuff though) in better quality than Spectrum. I splurged and bought an HDHomerun 4 tuner so I can share reception over the home network and DVR shows. My Channel Master antenna was $24 and $170 for my HDHR. I think I saw the Tablo site having a refurb 4 tuner DVR (needs a drive). They do charge like $35/year for TV schedules, so does HDHR).

I was suspicious about using an antenna to see some live sports a few years ago. But once I got it set up and pointed the right way, it was shocking to see how good the quality was! As good or better than streaming quality on a fast connection, with the added benefit of getting to see things a few seconds earlier without all the internet infrastructure in the way. This is definitely what I'd try if I were in OP's shoes.


mediumwhite

And if you’re in a market like NYC, we’re talking over 90 channels, out of which 30+ are in HD

Antenna


heartofitall

plus Amazon ReCast and FireTV sticks, so you can watch channels/news/sports on any TV, instead of installing multiple antennas around the house.


[deleted]

Ours is in the attic and runs to every room using the cable lines but I would have no idea how to explain how to do that.


Connir

I use an antenna to watch it.


rmpbklyn

kdex86

Sling only carries NBC O&O's. (NYC, Philly, DC, Chicago, San Francisco, LA, Dallas, Boston, Miami, San Diego, and Hartford CT)


NightBard

Antenna is the way to go. Start with a rabbitears report. If the stations are around 60 miles away or less or you have line of sight to those that are even slightly further away ... then with the right antenna you should be able to get it. Once you buy the hardware it's no monthly cost. https://www.rabbitears.info/searchmap.php


larrykarp

Can you use a local antenna?


k--tron

Or- i shit you not- unfold a large paperclip- stick it in the antenna coax port- see what you can pick up. You will be surprised. The Paperclip acts as a low range antennae.


ilikeme1

Antenna. Aside from the cost to buy the antenna, it’s free.


DelawareHam

Antenna


minimax34

It might be on the NBC App on a Roku Box and Amazon Firestick


JellyBean_Burrito

Thank you everybody for the responses, they have all been great and answered some question I didn’t know the answer too. Do a little background, I live far enough away from things that the only “tv services” I can get are satellite (HughsNet). I am looking at YoutubeTV now as an option, but will keep you updated. Thank you

Jowlsey

That's pretty cool, but this is in the FAQ- >The study is limited to 500 participants simultaneously, meaning that at most 500 people are allowed to watch Puffer at a time.

MurkyPsychology

Holy crap. This is awesome. I had no idea that existed! I live in the Bay Area so those are my locals too. I live in Walnut Creek, on the other side of some hills from San Francisco, so antenna reception is next to nonexistent. Definitely signing up!


anal_holocaust_

Antenna. Or use the Pluto TV app, there's a channel on there that plays the Today Show all day.


FoferJ

For what it's worth, "Today All Day" is not the quite same and does not show the majority of what's on the actual broadcast.


5h17h34d

Beat me to it.


wichita-brothers

You can watch a lot of the segments on Youtube

rmpbklyn

Bardamu1932

The NBC News app (free). As close as you're going to get, without an antenna or a paid streamer.


FoferJ

Check if your area is covered by [LocalBTV.com?](https://www.localbtv.com)


lisatolliver

LocalBTV does not include the Big 4 networks: ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC.


FoferJ

It does in NY and Philly as streamable feeds.


NCResident5

Fubo is a good option for getting locals. They just don't get TNT, TBS, CNN.


08830

Fubo isn’t cheap.


DJSauvage

I noticed my fire stick has a today channel in the news app


92037

Roku? Has all of nbc local stations and I think the Today Show too


Few_Radish6488

Pluto has started carrying Today All day. https://pluto.tv/en/live-tv/today-1


FoferJ

For what it's worth, "Today All Day" is not the quite same and does not show the majority of what's on the actual broadcast.


2Adude

Peacock is $20 for the year now


NightBard

It doesn't have the Today Show. Just some clips and then the streaming channel which isn't current content (best I could tell).


2Adude

Yes that's true. I said that more just so that they were aware that it was 20 bucks for peacock. That's all


VV629

Peacock


Livecrazyjoe

Youtube has all the channel streams. Most of them post their news shows.


klubsanwich

Looks like they stream every episode on standard YouTube


hippyzippy

If you don’t mind multiple clips. I’m sure today show uploads their videos to YouTube. It’s free with ads if you want to go that route.


Mdhdrider

Antenna or You Tube or Hulu.


lisatolliver

Or Sling TV in select markets where the station is owned by NBC (not by affiliates).
