Okay, let's talk about mornings. Specifically, the Today Show. But without cable. Because, let's be honest, who even has *cable* anymore?
The "Rabbit Ears" Era is Over (Thank Goodness!)
Remember the old days? Antenna perched precariously on the TV. Jiggling it until you *almost* got a clear picture of Savannah Guthrie.
Yeah, let's just pretend that never happened. We deserve better. Way better.
Option 1: Streaming Services to the Rescue!
Hello, internet! Several streaming services are your new best friends. Think of them as your personal Today Show delivery service.
Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and FuboTV are the big names. They usually carry local channels. Check to see if yours does.
Bonus? You can watch on your phone. During that excruciatingly long commute. I won't tell anyone.
Option 2: Peacock to the Rescue (Sometimes)!
Peacock, NBC's very own streaming service, is the wild card. It offers some Today Show content.
Not *everything*, mind you. It's more like a "Today Show Lite" situation. But hey, it's an option!
And sometimes that's all we need. Especially if you are a big fan of *Hoda Kotb*.
Option 3: The Official Today Show Website and App
Did you know The Today Show has its own website? And an app? Mind blown, right?
They post clips and segments. It's not the full show, sadly. But it's free!
Perfect for catching up on that viral baby video everyone's talking about.
Option 4: Social Media Sneak Peeks
Instagram, Twitter, Facebook... The Today Show is *everywhere*.
They post snippets throughout the show. It's a good way to get the gist.
Plus, you can see what Carson Daly is up to. Apparently he's a voice actor now. Who knew?
Things to Consider (The Fine Print, if You Will)
Streaming services cost money. Let's just get that out of the way. But usually less than cable!
Check for free trials! A sneaky way to watch Al Roker report the weather without paying anything. (At least for a little while.)
Also, internet speed is important. Nobody wants a buffering Savannah Guthrie. It's just...wrong.
My Unpopular Opinion (Prepare Yourself)
Confession: I don't *always* watch the Today Show in the morning. Sometimes, I sleep in.
I know, I know. Sacrilege! But a girl needs her beauty sleep. Don't judge.
The beauty of modern technology is that you can catch up on news whenever you want, no cable required.
So, There You Have It
Watching The Today Show without cable is totally doable. You have options!
Whether you choose streaming, the website, or just a quick social media peek. You are in charge now!
Now go forth and conquer your mornings. And maybe, just maybe, skip the cable bill.
