first on fox 18 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 First on TVNewser: John Seigenthaler's departure from NBC News, announced on the air Sunday, is related to divison-wide budget cutbacks. The network doesn't have the luxury of a full-time weekend Nightly News anchor anymore. NBC announced "massive cuts" last October, under the "NBC U 2.0" umbrella...

News4LA 0 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Maybe Lester Holt? Isn't Campbell Brown's contract up this Summer? http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/nbc/campbells_contract_window_is_opening_50313.asp I wonder if she will stay and want the weekend gig.

eyewitness_news 5 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Today was his last broadcast on NBC...wonder who will be weekend anchor. If it were up to me, I'd choose Ann Curry. I don't think Ann Curry is leaving Today for the Saturday/Sunday edition of NBC Nightly News. If Ann Curry becomes John Seigenthaler's successor, who will succeed Curry?

NewzPimpin 1 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 If it's Lester, then that would rule also. He's a class act and I'd love to see him anchoring on the national level again...

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I don't know who does the NBC Nightly News V/O for Brian Williams, but it looks like the end of the last of the old V/O's featuring the late Fred Facey.

I think Don Pardo does NBC NN. No, I've heard clips on Don Pardo doing v/o for WNBC's Live at Five and the NN v/o. Trust me, it's not Pardo. Never mind, it's Howard Reig that does the NBC Nightly News v/o, but he's retired now.

NBC10 WJAR-DT 0 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Looks like it will be on a fill-in basis from now on.
