NBC Gains, As ABC and CBS Shed Evening News Viewers
By contrast, ABC World News lost 407,000 viewers compared to Q2 '08. The CBS Evening News shed 48,000 viewers compared to last year. Q2 '09 was the lowest Total Viewer delivery in Nielsen history (since the start of People Meters) for the ABC and CBS broadcasts. For the quarter, NBC topped ABC by 797K Total Viewers and topped CBS by more than 2.5M Total Viewers. "Nightly" EP Bob Epstein, who's been at the helm since December, tells TVNewser, "The ratings surge is a tribute to the hard work from our outstanding team, led by Brian Williams. We've stayed focused on producing in-depth coverage of the issues that matter most to our audience. I'm also extremely proud of our reports on Iran led by Richard Engel and Ali Arouzi."

"I have wonderful relationships at CBS," says Heyward, 58, head of the news division from 1996 to 2005. "It's just easier to come in and do a project at a place where you haven't worked before. It's totally non-threatening and positive." Heyward, who left CBS in the aftermath of Memogate, says he gets together regularly with his successor, Sean McManus. He also chats with former colleague Alexandra Wallace, now an NBC News executive. During a recent conversation, "she said they had a project they wanted me to look into." Thursday Jun 25, 2009

Kathie Lee and Hoda Make "Must" List
As The View slipped into a more snoozy cadence, a funny thing happened: The fourth hour of NBC's Today show swooped in as the go-to place for morning-TV insanity. We'd call sparring, madcap hosts Gifford and Kotb a guilty pleasure, but we don't even feel guilty about it. Wednesday Jun 24, 2009
"Today" Series Breaking The Bank For Charity
Tomorrow the "Today" show weatherman will be live from the Arkansas capital as part of his 8th annual "Lend a Hand Today." During today's stop in still hurricane-ravaged Galveston, TX, the show raised $540,652 in goods, services and cash - the biggest one-day total yet. That's a far cry from the $50,000 raised during the series' first go-'round eight years ago. And this year's total will far surpass last year's $1M haul. And Roker tells TVNewser tomorrow's Little Rock stop working with a "food related charity" will top even today's tally. "We're so thrilled at the idea that we could do this in this kind of economy," said Roker after landing in Little Rock this afternoon. "It is really mind boggling." It's been eight months since Roker last reported from Galveston, which was torn apart by Hurricane Ike on September 13, 2008. "They've made a lot of progress, but there are still 13,000 people not in their homes," he says. Roker was in Los Angeles Monday; Portland Tuesday and will be in Charlotte, NC on Friday. He hopes the "Today" show stops lead to a greater goal. "We want there to be an uptick of people going to their local charities and giving where they can," he says. "We do all these different projects 'Where in the World...' 'Today Takes a Vacation,' but this is one that just doesn't get old. We always find new ways to keep it fresh and help a community along the way." Morales, Barber to Host Macy's Fireworks Spectacular
In addition to the fireworks, there will be performances by Rob Thomas, Jewel and the cast of the revival of "West Side Story." The "Spectacular" airs live on NBC July 4 at 9pmET.
