I'm Brian Stelter. My other Tumblr is The Deadline.
I'm writing a book about morning TV -- about "Today," "G.M.A." and the other morning shows that collectively set the nation's breakfast table every day.
Called "The Top Of The Morning," it's slated for release in 2013.
This Tumblr will be a companion -- part reporter's notebook, part scrapbook, part personal journal.

In July, six months after Comcast gained control of NBC, Mr. Seacrest made a much-noticed appearance on “Today” to discuss one of his charities. He is expected to step up those appearances soon as an occasional co-host of the 9 a.m. hour of the program, which has a lighter tone than the earlier hours.
One of the people with knowledge of the negotiations described the possibility of an “apprenticeship” for Mr. Seacrest under Mr. Lauer, allowing Mr. Seacrest to gradually gain news credibility with the “Today” show audience. Mr. Seacrest had a similar relationship with Larry King when Mr. King had a CNN interview show.
Mr. Seacrest could also come on “Today” with exclusive interviews or entertainment news, which he already does on his nationally syndicated morning radio show, two people with knowledge of the talks said. He would continue hosting the radio shows.
