Brian Williams is leaving NBC News and MSNBC's 'The 11th Hour'
Brian Williams, anchor of the MSNBC nightly program "The 11th Hour," will not sign a new contract with NBC News and will leave the company after 28 years.
Williams confirmed his planned departure in a statement to The Los Angeles Times.
"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," Williams said. "I have been truly blessed. I have been allowed to spend almost half of my life with one company. NBC is a part of me and always will be."

The exit of Williams, 62, means cable news channel MSNBC will have two high-profile stars to replace in 2022, as Rachel Maddow is expected to leave her daily program at some point during the year, although she will remain under contract with NBC News.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out .Too bad it took so long. So long, its been a drag to know you.
Smug asshole, typical entitled wasp. Couldn't stand him. Just a news reader, mildly attractive to some. No big brain, not a journalist. Byeie

Wait, Maddow is also leaving? I didn’t know this.
There’s really nothing more to talk about on MSNBC since Biden got elected. It’s sad.

MSNBC has been sad for ages. Not evena news station. Pure garbage.

R3. Rachel isn't leaving MSNBC, but she wants to give up the daily/nightly grind of putting a TV show together everyday. She recently signed a new $30 million contract with NBC.

I could see Brian Williams being offered a good deal of money by some streaming or sub-channel news channel startup as a name to attract viewers.

I like Brian. Sorry to see him go. Great interviewer, guests. insight. Big loss for the MSNBC nightly lineup. It's the best network.

I hope Lawrence O'Donnell doesn't leave. He's my favorite.

When he was younger I fabricated about him coming out of a pool in a white speedo. Broad shoulders, huge cock.
