Matt Lauer to stay with 'Today,' signs new deal

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."
