Welcome to the Green Issue of the
Peacock Planner
As part of
NBC Universal's overall
commitment to eco-friendly content production, improved energy efficiency,
and environmental awareness, NBCU is creating a week long global event that will take
place November 4th- November 10th.
NBC Universal's programming, both scripted and unscripted, will adopt
green-friendly and environmentally oriented messages – across all national
and local properties – to promote the crucial issue of ecological awareness.
Green Week Sponsors will have a major
presence across the significant Green is
Universal umbrella elements which extend throughout the
NBCU participating platforms… Access Hollywood, Bravo, CNBC, iVillage,
MSNBC, Mun2, NBC.com, NBC Daytime, NBC Primetime, NBC Late Night, Nightly
News, Sunday Night Football Today, Sci-Fi Channel, Sundance Channel,
Telemundo, USA Network, Universal HD, Universal Film Studio & Theme
Park, WeatherPlus, and NBC Television Stations.
Today is taking an unprecedented look at our home,
Planet Earth.
Today anchors will be dispatched -- literally -- to the
ends of the earth to explore the extraordinary diversity of life on this
planet -- the climate extremes, the wildlife, and the limits of human
exploration. Matt Lauer will travel to the very top of the globe,
the Arctic, and broadcast
from remote locations on the Greenland ice
sheet; Ann Curry will travel to the very bottom
of the globe, Antarctica,
and broadcast from extreme locations including the McMurdo Research Station located at the
southern end of "The Ice"; Al Roker will travel to the
Equator and broadcast from
the middle of an endangered cloud forest in Mindo, Ecuador, 7,000 feet above sea
level; Meredith Vieira will connect the global dots from
Today's home base in New
York where she will take a look at how the global issues
at these unique locations are affecting people across the United
States. The adventure, which is part of NBC Universal's
Green Is Universal
initiative, begins Monday, November 5, and will continue through Friday,
November 9.

family, see the links in the Resource
column or call your NBC seller for more information.
The Big Move
NBC Universal
is on a high-tech, green consolidation
streak that extends from the newly constructed NBC News
world headquarters at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan, to long-term
plans for a similar approach for housing NBC News' Los Angeles bureau,
network-owned KNBC-TV and KVEA-TV and "Access Hollywood." The West
Coast facility will be the anchor tenant in the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority's Red Line Subway Station in Universal City,
directly across the street from Universal Studios and Universal Studios
Hollywood theme park and CityWalk. The location, still in the design and
environmental review stage. The new facility is meant to be an example of
sustainable green design,
construction and transit-oriented development. A rendering of the
potential new West Coast facility is shown. Source: TVWeek
