TALLAHASSEE, FL - Fans fled to Facebook with their comments about the recent change in co-hosts on NBC's “Weekend Today.” They were upset that the network put Jenna Wolfe out of her job.
This isn’t the first time the network has made a change like this. Ann Curry left from the “Today” show in June.
Now the network has replaced Wolfe with Erica Hill, who is now the new co-host for “Weekend Today.”

Thousands of fans went to express their anger on the NBC Facebook page.
“First Ann Curry, now Jenna Wolfe getting the short end of the stick,” said one of the thousands of Facebook comments.
The social media rant did not stop on Facebook many fans who were outraged tweeted their feelings on Twitter.
Wolfe will continue to work with “Weekend Today” as its new anchor. Her salary will take a slight decrease because of her new position.
Fans who commented about her decrease believe that the show is not loyal to its fans.
“Why does the ‘Today’ show keep messing around with their anchors,” said a fan. “ Isn't viewer loyalty worth anything?”
NBC sees the changes as an overall improvement to the show.
Wolfe still considers herself as a “Today” anchor, and is ok with Hill taking her spot.
“Our ‘Today’ family got stronger this weekend with the addition of Erica to our team,” said Wolfe.
