America likes to get up early!
Yesterday, we were talking to you about “Good Morning America”, which is one the biggest morning shows in the United States. Today, we are going to be interested in… “The Today Show” (also called “Today”). What a coincidence, isn’t it?
The show’s story begins in 1952, so years before GMA starts to be broadcasted on American television. Its concept is commonplace and, at the same time, attractive: talking about news and various themes (music, cinema, sport…), and also dedicating the show to its guests (celebrities, scientists, politicians…). If “Today” was behind “Good Morning America” in terms of TV audiences during years, it is not the case anymore now, since NBC’s show is the first one to be watched by American people every morning. And to date, “The Today Show” is the morning show to be broadcasted for the longest time.
As every show on television, “Today” is also broadcasted on its official webpage, so people can watch again the main news of the day. But not every people can access the videos, as the website set up a geographical restriction for those who don’t live within the United States. Expatriates and foreigners can’t then access it from their location/country, because of their IP address. But fortunately, there is a way to remedy this.
“Today” from anywhere in the world…
In the last paragraph, I was talking about the IP address. But what is that anyway? Well, an IP address is what identifies you, through your computer, when you go online. Your IP corresponds to the country where you connect to the Internet. In this case, the most logical thing would be to live in the United States and to have an American IP address. But if you are in a foreign country, your IP will be different and then, you need a VPN service to modify it.
A VPN means “Virtual Private Network” and has several functions:
- Changing your IP address, to avoid geographical restrictions.
- Securing your Internet connection, to prevent other people from hacking your data.
- Browsing the web confidentially, to keep your data secret.
Now that you have everything you need to watch “The Today Show” from your home (wherever you are), please look at the selection below. And have a great time with Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie!
