Brian Williams just quit NBC News…
Citizen Free Press ^ | 11/9/2021 | Kane

Posted on 11/09/2021 6:01:39 PM PST by Beave Meister

Anchorman Brian Williams, a 28-year veteran of NBC News and MSNBC, said Tuesday that he is leaving the company at the end of this year. “This is the end of a chapter and the beginning of another,” Williams said in a statement. “There are many things I want to do, and I’ll pop up again somewhere.”

For the past 5 years, Williams has anchored “The 11th Hour,” an end-of-the-day newscast and political talk program. CNN Business reported in August that his contract was expiring in the next six months and that he wanted to move off the late-night hour.

His NBC tenure was cut short in 2015 when he was found to have lied in interviews. He was suspended for six months and was replaced by Lester Holt on the “Nightly News.”

A source close to Williams said NBC did make Williams a new contract offer and declined to share the reasons why he passed on it. Williams framed the situation this way: “Following much reflection, and after 28 years with the company, I have decided to leave NBC upon the completion of my current contract in December.”

The source said there will be no imminent announcement about a new role at another media company.

He’s worth milions, so he’ll be fine. Even with an internet channel that few watch.

Maybe he can host a new gig of “To Catch A Predator” whereby he can just show up at the house and the cops arrest him. Series done!

NBC needs to invest in a better anti-fouling hull paint.

should have included this source as well (not sure Jones’s viewers in Australia will be welcoming Piers, though):

16 Sept: BBC: Piers Morgan to launch new show on Rupert Murdoch-owned network
Piers Morgan is to join the Rupert Murdoch-owned News Corp and Fox News Media, the company has announced...
“Piers is the broadcaster every channel wants but is too afraid to hire,” Murdoch said in a statement.

The show will air on the newly-announced talkTV in the UK, Fox Nation in the US, and Sky News Australia.
Morgan said he was “thrilled” to return to News Corp, where he began his media career more than 30 years ago...

In his statement, Murdoch said: “Piers is a brilliant presenter, a talented journalist and says what people are thinking and feeling.
“He has many passionate fans around the world and we look forward to expanding his audience in the UK, at Fox Nation, Sky News Australia, The Sun and the New York Post.”...

The appointment was announced on the same day the Murdoch-owned media company News UK announced it will launch talkTV in early 2022...

He’ll be writing alternative history books, based on his experience of having been at each and every historical event.

How bad must you be to be replaced by someone like Lester Holt?

The fact that NBC continued to employ that serial liar shows that NBC doesn't actually have a news division.

Even a two bit liar is embarrassed about working for a dying network like MSNBC. LOL - Hey Brian, and bodies floating by your hotel windows lately?

He said he’s leaving when his contract expires. Not the same thing as quitting
