News anchor Brian Williams quits NBC after 28 years
United States journalist, Brian Williams, says he is leaving NBC News and MSNBC next month after nearly three decades to spend time with his family.
The news was confirmed by MSNBC President, Rashida Jones, in a memo on Tuesday.
Jones said Williams’ time at NBC has been marked by breaking countless major stories and attracting leading journalists and guests to his programs.
“Brian Williams has informed us he would like to take the coming months to spend time with his family. He will be signing off from The 11th Hour at the end of the year,” Jones disclosed in the memo.
Williams said in the memo that his time at NBC spanned 28 years in 38 countries, covering eight Olympic Games, seven presidential elections, half a dozen presidents, “a few wars, and one Saturday Night Live.”
