Editing Today (American TV program) (section)

===Local cut-ins===
During the first two hours of the program, local [[network affiliate]]s are offered a four-minute window at 26 and 56 minutes past the hour to insert a local newsbreak (which usually also includes a local forecast, and in large and mid-sized markets, a brief traffic report) and local advertisements. Certain NBC affiliates that produce an additional morning newscast for a sister station or [[digital subchannel]] may prerecord the local inserts aired during the first one to two hours of ''Today'' to focus production responsibilities on just one of their local channels.
