Dateline NBC is a weekly American television newsmagazine/reality legal show that is broadcast on NBC. It was previously the network's flagship general interest news magazine, but now focuses mainly on true crime stories with only occasional editions that focus on other topics. The program airs Fridays at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time (9:00 p.m. Eastern for special two-hour editions) and on most Sundays, outside the NFL season, at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Special Saturday editions also occasionally air during the fall and winter months. Two-hour feature-length editions sometimes air on any given scheduled evening, often to fill vacancies in the primetime schedule on the program's respective nights due to program cancellations. It is the favorite show of current NBC entertainment president Susan Rovner. In February 2021, the program aired its first ever docuseries, “The Widower”, a five-hour true crime saga about a man who was married six times, and four of his wives were dead.
