Early Today is an American morning news program airing on the NBC television network. The program goes out live at 4:00 a.m. Eastern Time Zone for those few stations which start their local news at 4:30 a.m., and is transmitted in a continuous half-hour tape delay loop until 10:00 a.m. ET, when Today begins in the Pacific Time Zone. The program usually airs before local morning newscasts as a lead-in, or in the few markets where a local morning news broadcast is not produced, before the start of Today. The show is updated for any breaking news occurring before 7:00 a.m. ET, while stations throughout the network will join Today in all time zones past that time at their local discretion or network orders for live coverage.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or today:
“The secret of heaven is kept from age to age. No imprudent, no sociable angel ever dropt an early syllable to answer the longings of saints, the fears of mortals. We should have listened on our knees to any favorite, who, by stricter obedience, had brought his thoughts into parallelism with the celestial currents, and could hint to human ears the scenery and circumstance of the newly parted soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The adequate study of culture, our own and those on the opposite side of the globe, can press on to fulfillment only as we learn today from the humanities as well as from the scientists.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
