NBC News will kick off a new show next week that’s scheduled to appear for the next three Tuesdays. But there is some sense among executives that it could keep going for weeks.

The special will run on NBC, MSNBC and its NBC News Now and Telemundo Digital platforms, and it’s among a number of primetime specials that all the networks are airing as they ramp up coverage of the crisis for the long term.
