It’s unclear how much of Today All Day will be original and how much will be repurposed from the four-hour broadcast. The service will be free but ad supported.

It’s also the latest expansion of the 69-year-old Today brand, which is now four hours per day. The show expanded to three hours in 2000 and to four hours in 2007.

Peacock has been emphasizing some of the news and non-fiction programming to distinguish itself from other streaming platforms. Today All Day will be available under the channels tab on Peacock and Today.com/allday on the show’s website.

Last year, the network launched NBC News Now, drawing on the network’s news division resources. The network said that Today has won the 25-54 demographic for 19 straight quarters and 58 consecutive months.
