Format
Live cookery demonstrations from some of Ireland's top television chefs now forms a daily part of the show with other segments featuring less frequently. Regular experts in each subject appear to discuss the topic at hand. Airing on the RTÉ One television channel in Ireland, "Today" debuted in November 2012, and replaced previous RTÉ day-time lifestyle shows such as The Daily Show and Four Live.
Today was initially hosted each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday by RTÉ presenters Maura Derrane and Dáithí Ó Sé being broadcast from RTÉ Cork Studios, and each Friday—with a more female skewed show—by Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh and Norah Casey. After the end of the first season RTÉ announced that Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh and Norah Casey's section of the show was being axed. "Today" returned for a second season in September 2013 & is now hosted solely by Maura Derrane and Dáithí Ó Sé from Monday — Friday from RTÉ Cork Studios.
The programme returned for a new series which commenced on Monday, 21 September 2015. The show now airs live every weekdays at 4.00pm on RTÉ One.
Reception
Bernice Harrison, reviewer in The Irish Times, wondered in advance if it "might be a livelier alternative" to the "afternoon schedules [that] are clogged with antiques and property programmes".
