Page Six announces that NBC has officially promoted Lester Holt to be the permanent anchor of NBC Nightly News. Brian Williams will stay within the NBC family; he is being shuttled over to the cable version of NBC, MSNBC. He won't have a permanent slot at MSNBC, instead Brian Williams will become the anchor of choice for breaking news stories at MSNBC. NBC's press release reads as follows:
"The extensive review found that Williams made a number of inaccurate statements about his own role and experiences covering events in the field. The statements in question did not for the most part occur on NBC News platforms or in the immediate aftermath of the news events, but rather on late-night programs and during public appearances, usually years after the news events in question.”
Matt Lauer will be interviewing Brian Williams on the Today show this morning.
