Australia TODAY, a news-sports-weather-entertainment-current affairs program not unlike its American counterparts, will broadcast live from Lafayette beginning at 1:30 p.m., which is 5:30 a.m. in Sydney. The program's team is actually encamped at the Good Morning America studios in New York City, but weather report Steve Jacobs will be plugged in via live remote from Vermilionville. Jacobs will also have a segment on an airboat tour of the Atchafalaya Basin.
