LOS ANGELES (AP) - NBC says Matt Lauer is sticking with the
"Today" show.

NBC News spokeswoman Megan Kopf said Thursday that Lauer will
announce Friday on the air that he has signed a long-term contract
to remain as co-host of the top-rated morning show.

Although "Today" is on a historic winnings streak in the
ratings, ABC competitor "Good Morning America" has been gaining
ground.

Lauer's decision provides important stability for "Today."

TODAY airs weekday mornings on WKTV at 7:00 a.m.
