VTC Research Institute on 'Today' Thursday

Mike Friedlander

NBC's "Today Show" was in town recently to put together a segment on the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute, which will run Thursday between 8 and 8:30 a.m., I'm told by a board member.

The same board member said that CBS "This Morning," its equivalent of "Today" had inquired about doing a piece on VTCRI, but Executive Director Mike Friedlander "blew them off because 'Today' is so much higher rated."

 Nice position to be in.
