Today in New York was launched in 1988. For the first decade or so the broadcast was anchored from the newsroom. The theme music was different than the station's other newscasts such as Live at Five and News 4 New York.
Until the 1990s, the weekday broadcast was one-hour long airing from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. It was then expanded to sixty-five minutes, starting at 5:55 a.m. It was subsequently expanded to ninety minutes (starting at 5:30 a.m.) and then to its current two and a half hours.
Jane Hanson was the original anchor of the program. After being removed from the anchor desk of Live at Five in 1992, Tony Guida briefly co-anchored the program followed by Matt Lauer from 1992-1994 and Mary Civiello in 1997. Maurice DuBois followed as a co-anchor until he left for WCBS television in 2004; he was replaced by Rob Morrison.
Hanson, still with the station until November 2006, was replaced by Darlene Rodriguez in 2003. After Morrison's departure in June 2008, Michael Gargiulo became a co-anchor.
