It was not mentioned until today but they will preempt one of the Sunday Today shows to show the Monaco Grand Prix on May 26.
NBC will pre-empt its Sunday morning staples “Today” and “Meet the Press” this May to show the Monaco Grand Prix live. The telecast, which will air May 26 at 7:30 a.m. ET, marks the first time the famed race will be aired live on U.S. broadcast TV.
“Monaco’s certainly on a level with the Indianapolis 500 and the Daytona 500 when it comes to the biggest event in a given sport,” said Jon Miller, NBC Sports president of programming. “It’s a chance to celebrate the sport. Montreal, Austin and Brazil [which will also air on NBC] jump off the page, but Monaco captures what Formula One is. It’s got the glamour and the celebrities.”
