Since I can't reply to the thread Fiona started in Announcements, I just want to say that I find it implausible that this segment would air simultaneously in all time zones as Fiona mentioned.  So, I'll probably check at 7:50 A.M. ET, just to be sure! Grin

See http://www.kivafriends.org/index.php/topic,1473.0.html

Just to clarify - it airs simultaneously in all timezones nationwide.

So, that means it's 7:50am Pacific, 10:50a East Coast, 9:50am Central, 8:50am Mountain.

Hope that makes sense!

Corrected to 8:46 A.M., in all (U.S.) time zones! Smiley 

EDIT:  I imagine this assumes the Today Show begins at 7:00 A.M.  If it begins at a different time for you, adjust accordingly!

All -

I just updated the above 2 posts.  First, they changed the time to 8:46am.  Second, I actually found out that it's not a simultaneous nationwide airing.  It's staggered across the nation keeping the same scheduling slot in each timezone.

Sorry for the confusion!!!  And thanks Kay for pointing that out - I called my NBC contact and we spent about 10 minutes trying to understand each other!  We decided to make up some new language to help describe this - SB (Staggered Broadcast) vs. SBAT (Simultaneous Broadcast Across Timezones).  Cool, huh.

Thanks, Fiona! Cheesy

Just bumping this up as a reminder--because it's scheduled for today (8:46 A.M.), presumably! Smiley

Well, of course, I didn't see a thing about Kiva, but the Christmas trees and decorations looked nice in HD! Huh?

Not I!  But if there had been a segment, I think you would have seen a "reaction" on the Kiva website--which I didn't see!

would this be called a "SOCGTS" (some other charity got the spot)?  Laugh

I saw like a zillion pennies with people walking on them, but nothing on KIVA.
