NBC's ubiquitous prime-time newsmagazine, the one that finally succeeded after more than a decade of attempts (and the one that has aired in many time slots on the network). The series offers a mix of investigations, news updates and celebrity interviews.
  • NBC Settles To Catch a Predator Lawsuit | Today's News: Our Take | 6/26/2008
    NBC has settled a $105 million lawsuit brought by the sister of a man profiled in a Dateline NBC: To Catch a Predator report.The woman claimed her brother's incriminating appearance drove him to kill himself. On the program, host Chris Hansen confronted Louis William Conradt, Jr., a Dallas prosecutor, accusing him of engaging in a sexually oriented online chat with an adult who posed as a 13-year-old boy.Per the AP, the lawsuit claimed NBC "steamrolled" police to arrest Conradt. Earlier this year, a judge scolded NBC, saying the network "crossed the line from responsible journalism to irresponsible and reckless intrusion into law enforcement."Terms of the settlement were not announced. — J.R.

  • Judge Says To Catch a Predator Lawsuit Can Proceed | Today's News: Our Take | 2/27/2008
    A $100 million lawsuit that charges Dateline NBC with causing the suicide of a former Texas prosecutor ensnared in one of its To Catch a Predator investigations is moving forward. A federal judge ruled Tuesday that claims made in the suit filed by Patricia Conradt, the sister of Louis Conradt, can proceed to trial.Conradt, 56, shot himself in November 2006 after he was confronted at his Terrell, Texas, home by police officers accompanying a Dateline crew. Police were attempting to arrest Conradt after he solicited sex from a decoy posing as a 13-year-old boy during a Predator sting operation. While some charges in the lawsuit were dismissed, U.S. District Judge Denny Chin said "a reasonable jury could find NBC crossed the line from responsible journalism to irresponsible and reckless intrusion into law enforcement." The judge also ruled that NBC appeared to be "pushing police to engage in tactics that were unnecessary and unwise, solely to generate more dramatic footage for a televi... read more
  • I am curious about the fate ... | Matt Roush | 12/10/2007
    Question: I am curious about the fate of the once-popular newsmagazine. I remember a time when every network had multiple newsmagazines on the air. CBS had 48 Hours and two versions of 60 Minutes at one time, and NBC used to play Dateline four times a week. Now we only have 20/20, 60 Minutes and the occasional "To Catch a Predator." What happened? Was it simply a shift in people's tastes? Did networks run these shows into the ground? Do you think a prolonged strike will see the reintroduction of shows like Prime Time? Also, if networks get really desperate during the strike, do you think they may resort to evening airings of their morning news shows? Just imagine the Today show, GMA or The Early Show re-airing at 9 or 10 pm. Answer: You hit on most of the likely reasons for why the glut of prime-time newsmags in prime time has faded. Overexposure and changing tastes had a lot to do with it, to be sure, but also the upsurge of reality series as a new form of counterprogramming. When you ... read more

  • Has NBC Preyed on Its Last Predator? | Today's News: Our Take | 9/5/2007
    Since 2004, Dateline NBC's To Catch a Predator has put an uncomfortable spotlight on men who go online to solicit underage boys and girls for sex. But in recent months, the hidden-camera sting operation has been facing some heat of its own.NBC Universal is being sued by the sister of an assistant county prosecutor from a Dallas suburb who shot himself last November when police and a Dateline crew loomed outside his door with an arrest warrant. The prosecutor, Louis Conradt Jr., was about to be charged with soliciting sex with a minor after he engaged in explicit online and phone conversations with an adult posing as a 13-year-old boy in a Predator investigation. Among numerous accusations in the $105-million lawsuit, Patricia Conradt contends that Dateline "steamrolled" police in Murphy, Texas, into arresting her brother at his home, leading to his suicide.NBC News has called the suit "preposterous," saying there was no reason to believe that Conradt was aware of Dateline's presence... read more
