Today in L.A. is a local morning news and entertainment television program airing on KNBC (channel 4), an NBC owned-and-operated television station in Los Angeles, California that is owned by the NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations division of NBCUniversal. The program is broadcast each weekday morning from 4:30 to 7 a.m. Pacific Time. Weekend editions of the program (branded as Today in L.A. Weekend) also air on Saturday and Sunday from 7 to 8 a.m.
The local news cut-ins that are broadcast during Today (at approximately :26 and :56 minutes past the hour) are also branded as Today in L.A.. Portions of the morning newscast were previously seen on Cozi TV Los Angeles's The Morning Mix on KNBC digital subchannel 4.2. The program maintains a general format of news stories, traffic reports and weather forecasts, but also includes sports summaries, and entertainment and feature segments.
The program became the first local morning newscast in Southern California when it debuted on KNBC in 1986, as a half-hour lead-in to NBC's long-running morning news program Today. Kent Shocknek and Pat DaSilva were the original anchors of the program, with Christopher Nance handling weather duties, and Fred Roggin appearing in a sports segment that was pre-taped the night before. DaSilva, who is Mexican-American also became the first Latina female to anchor a weekday morning newscast. DaSilva anchored Today in L.A. for more than a year, before being replaced by Carla Aragon. Shocknek and Aragon each departed in later years; Shocknek joining rival CBS-owned station KCBS-TV (channel 2) in 2001 as anchor of that station's morning and midday newscasts, and Aragon returning to her native New Mexico to anchor the evening newscasts on NBC affiliate KOB-TV in Albuquerque, from 1994 to her retirement from the television news business in 2007. Nance left KNBC under controversial circumstances in December 2002, after 18 years with the station; he later sued channel 4, the station's upper management, and KNBC's parent company NBC due to what he believed was racial and religious discrimination.
