NBC trying to keep Brian Williams - but maybe not as 'Nightly News' anchor
By Brian Stelter
Brian Williams may lose his seat as anchor of the "NBC Nightly News," but executives are looking for a way to keep him at the network in a new role.
Weeks of complex negotiations between Williams and NBC are not yet complete, according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation.
There are any number of possible outcomes. Several of the sources said Williams could end up leaving NBC altogether following a financial settlement.
But another possibility, and the one advanced in recent discussions, involves a new role for Williams.
Andy Lack, the chairman of NBC News, has been a proponent of this outcome.
