NBCU Veteran Jessica Kurdali Is Versant’s New SVP, Talent Strategy
Image
Jessica Kurdali, who has supervised news talent relations for years for NBCUniversal’s news properties, will jump to Versant, the cable-networks operations that parent Comcast is spinning off, where she will oversee talent strategy across all platforms, including news, entertainment and sports.

Kurdali will manage strategic recruitment and on-air development. She will also work across Versant’s businesses to identify new voices, ensure talent can be seen across the company’s various media assets and build a bench of up and coming personalities.

She most recently served as senior vice president of talent and strategy for NBC News and MSNBC. She started at NBCU as an intern in 2002.

Her exit from NBC means NBC News will be without a senior talent executive for an interim period. ABC News also has not filled a similar position within its ranks.

Versant, which will be lead by CEO Mark Lazarus when Comcast spins...

'Recession Indicator'? Viral Meme Explained & How Stars Like Lady Gaga & Ed Sheeran Are Involved!
Image
A new viral trend is sweeping social media this year: the “recession indicator.” But what is it, exactly? Well, it means a lot of things to a lot of people!

The meme amusingly links certain behaviors and pop culture references/resurgences to signs of an impending economic downturn.

From the return of certain trends, like flash mobs and ice bucket challenges, to nostalgic music moments, like Lady Gaga‘s recent return to pop with Mayhem, reminiscent of her 2008 debut, Kesha and Ed Sheeran coming back into popularity (which he himself has acknowledged!), users online have been making tongue-in-cheek observations about how certain cultural shifts might signal trouble for the economy.

Lester Holt to Step Down as Anchor of ‘NBC Nightly News’

In a changing of the guard, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt will step aside from the program this summer, moving to a new full-time role at the primetime newsmagazine Dateline.

Holt and NBC News executives announced the move to staff Monday morning.

Holt has been the lead anchor of Nightly News for a decade, succeeding Brian Williams. Before taking over the weekday edition he led the weekend Nightly News and was the primary fill-in anchor when Williams was out. Holt joined NBC News in 2000, and has been contributing to Dateline since 2011.

Lester Holt, the NBC News anchor known for his ability to lead hours of breaking news coverage without pause, is finally ready for a breather.

The NBC News veteran plans to step away in early summer from his anchor duties on “NBC Nightly News,” which he has held since 2015. After that, he plans to devote himself full time to NBC News’ “Dateline,” which he has anchored since 2011.

“After 10 years, 17 if you include my years on the weekends, the time has come for me to step away from my role as anchor of ‘Nightly News.’ It has truly been the honor of a lifetime to work with each of you every day, keeping journalism as our true north and our viewers at the center of everything we do,” Holt said in a memo to staffers Monday. “But before we play the walk off music, I have another announcement.

How the MSNBC Team Bid Andrea Mitchell Farewell Behind the Scenes

The celebration of Andrea Mitchell‘s on-air career continued after she signed off of her final Andrea Mitchell Reports episode on Friday (February 7). The episode concluded with a surprise drop-in and standing ovation from some fellow NBC and MSNBC folks, including Jen Psaki, Symone Sanders Townsend, Pete Williams, Peter Alexander, Kelly O’Donnell, Hallie Jackson, and former MSNBC president Rashida Jones. MSNBC / Shannon Finney After airing wrapped, Jones offered a champagne toast to the long-time anchor, saying, “You’ve done so much for journalists as a whole, but what you’ve done for women in this business can’t even be measured, and so I want to say thank you to you. I want to say thank you for all of the hard work and setting the standard of excellence for all of us in here.

Election 2024: All the Major News Networks’ Plans for Tuesday Night — and Beyond
Image
Election Day is here, and the major news networks are prepared for a long night — and potentially a long week.

With over 50 million people early voting in the 2024 Presidential Election, Tuesday night will offer plenty of results to thumb through even if an ultimate winner isn’t called until later in the week, and most of the news networks will kick off their election night coverage at 6 p.m. Et, with CNN even starting at 12 a.m. Et while NBC News begins at 5 p.m. Et.

MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki will return to the Big Board — and will even be livestreamed on Peacock and other social platforms — while Fox News will see Bill Hemmer steering the “Bill”-board.

Most networks have scheduled eight hours of election night programming from 6 p.m. Et to 2 a.m. Et, with a result for the presidential showdown between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump not expected immediately.

This Week On The Campaign Trail: Kamala Harris And Donald Trump Deliver Closing Messages
Image
Updated with latest schedule: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their closing messages to voters this week, which will be ever apparent in swing states, where commercial time is filled with political spots.

The travel schedule of the final week of a campaign typically offers a glimpse at where a candidate wants to share up support, but the race has been so tight this cycle that Trump and Harris have been dropping in to all seven key swing states. Campaigns are studying where people have already voted, with a number of states setting turnout records. In North Carolina and Georgia, for instance, about 1/3 of the voting age population has already cast ballots, according to the University of Florida Election Lab.

Here’s the latest on where to find Trump and Harris in the coming week. Some details Tba.

TV News Election Night Likely to Carry Over for Days and Days

For NBC News, Election Night starts before the sun goes down.

Beginning at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5th, pairs of anchors ranging from Tom Llamas and Hallie Jackson to Savannah Guthrie and Lester Holt to Craig Melvin and Kate Snow will each staff a block of coverage of results from the 2024 presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. NBC will offer its stations 24 hours of coverage overall, and stream it as well, and will do so starting at a time that in the past might still have been reserved for local programming — and will potentially launch two hours ahead of its direct broadcast competitors.

“We are going up earlier than we ever have on the network, and we are staying up continuously longer than we ever have on the network,” says Janelle Rodriguez, executive vice president of programming for NBC News. Look for Guthrie...

Amazon in Talks With Brian Williams to Host Election-Night Special (Exclusive)
Image
Brian Williams may have found his next TV-news job….except it won’t be on traditional TV.

The veteran NBC News and MSNBC anchor is in late-stage discussions to host a live Election Night special on Amazon Prime Video, according to five people familiar with the matter. The aim, these people say, is to have a non-partisan discussion of that evening’s events. If the project comes to fruition, it could mark the first entry into news-related programming by one of the industry’s stand-alone streaming giants, which have largely focused on movies, scripted original series and reality programming.

The concept isn’t necessarily guaranteed to be completed, these people cautioned. Amazon declined to make executives available for comment. Through a spokesman, Williams declined to comment.

Amazon would potentially vie for attention on one of the biggest nights for traditional journalism. Many media companies see a presidential election cycle as...

Biden Shocker Leaves TV News Channels Scrambling
Image
Producers, anchors, correspondents and executives had spent days gaming out their plan should President Joe Biden end his 2024 campaign.

“We were planning for the news to leak out, followed by an address to the nation,” one producer says.

Instead, the president caught the media brunching.

“Enjoying a Wolf Spritzer at El Presidente restaurant here in DC,” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer posted on Instagram at around 9:45 a.m. Pt, holding a cocktail in one hand and a menu in the other.

An hour later, of course, Biden revealed his decision to end his campaign, a leak-free announcement made in the form of a Pdf letter. Blitzer traded in the cocktail for a suit and tie and was on the air at noon Pt. CNN was televising a replay of Fareed Zakaria’s program when the news broke.

A week after the shocking assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life,...

Biden Decision Surprised Most TV News Networks: How CBS, MSNBC and More Scrambled to Cover Bombshell
Image
Many of them knew it was coming, but not exactly when.

The nation’s big TV-news outlets appear to have been caught flat-footed by President Joe Biden’s Sunday announcement that he would end his 2024 campaign for the White House, with many top anchors not visible on screen in the minutes after the president dropped his bombshell.

Broadcast networks fielded faces that were not as familiar. CBS News broke into programming at 2:02 p.m. with coverage lead by Kristine Johnson, an anchor at Wcbs, the company’s New York station, suggesting Norah O’Donnell, Margaret Brennan or Major Garrett were not immediately available (O’Donnell and Brennan joined about 45 minutes later). NBC News put up a special report 30 seconds later anchored by Hallie Jackson, who was recently named to lead weekend broadcasts of “NBC Nightly News.” ABC News broke in at 2:04 p.m. with coverage led by Rachel Scott, its senior congressional correspondent.

TV Networks Scramble Sunday Schedules After Trump Assassination Attempt
Image
Several prominent TV networks quickly reworked their Sunday schedules in the wake of an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, with broadcast networks standing up special morning coverage and cable-news outlets wholly reworking their normal weekend programming.

ABC and NBC broadcast special versions of “Good Morning America” and “Today,” while CBS pre-empted its usual offering — “CBS Sunday Morning” — in favor of a bespoke program anchored by John Dickerson. At NBC, Savannah Guthrie, who co-anchors weekday “Today,” joined Willie Geist, who typically leads a Sunday “Today” broadcast. ABC News, meanwhile, convened the three hosts of the weekday broadcast of “Good Morning America” — Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos and Michael Strahan — for an atypical weekend program.

Cable-news networks also revamped their normal schedules. Fox News Channel had already planned a special Sunday schedule in advance of the start of this week’s Republican National Convention, but aired a bespoke evening program Saturday...

Joe Biden Counters Dismal Debate With A Stronger Press Conference, But It Was Not Without A Big Verbal Gaffe — Update
Image
Update: At his nearly hourlong press conference, Joe Biden countered perceptions of cognitive decline by delving into the details of complex national security situations. He insisted that he would “keep moving” in the presidential race, although he slightly opened the door to an exit if he sees that there’s “no way” he can win. And he raised his voice at one point in addressing gun violence, a contrast to the weak raspy pitch at his disastrous debate with Donald Trump.

But minutes after the president finished, the Democratic lawmaker calls for him to exit the race, with Rep. Jim Himes (D-ct) the latest.

“It’s not really about tonight,” Himes told MSNBC host Alex Wagner. “And one of the really kind of sick aspects of this moment is that we are watching every speech, every rally, every debate and saying, ‘How did he do today?’ And that’s just...

White House Correspondents’ Weekend Saw A Surreal Mix Of Celebrity And Power Players — And A Backdrop Of Protest And Disruption

The chants and shouts of pro-Palestinian demonstrators disrupted the entry to the Washington Hilton for this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, but once inside, attendees were greeted with what has become the usual scene: Celebrities on the red carpet, a crush for the security line and glitterati packed into a cavernous ballroom.

“I want to thank my wife for enduring lots of jokes and for agreeing to individually meet everyone in this room right after the ceremony,” the evening’s featured entertainer, Colin Jost, quipped about Scarlett Johansson, who posed for photos with a non-stop stream of attendees. She continued to do so later in the evening, at the Comcast-nbcu after party at the French ambassador’s residence.

As reported by Variety, Jackson will anchor Nightly News from Washington D.C. for one night each week, with her first official day starting on Sunday, April 7. She replaces long-time anchor Snow, who announced on February 18 that she would be leaving the show after nine years. NBC News informed staffers of the decision on Wednesday, March 20, according to Variety. “Hallie is an exceptional journalist and an extraordinary broadcaster, representing the very best of NBC News. She is a natural fit to anchor our flagship newscast on Sundays,” Janelle Rodriguez, NBC News’ executive vice president of programming, said in a statement (per Variety). Jackson has been with NBC News since 2014, where she covered the presidential campaign of Senator Ted Cruz.

How To Watch President Joe Biden’s State Of The Union Address On TV & Streaming
Image
In the pre-coverage of Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, the speech is being billed as the most important of his presidency, what with his dismal approval numbers and what is shaping up to be very difficult campaign for reelection.

Moreover, so much attention has been paid to the president’s age — at 81, he is the first octogenarian on a major party ticket — that any kind of slip up will be seized upon by his rivals.

Then again, Biden’s most memorable moment last year was an exchange with House Republicans over Social Security, showing that the president had command of the stage. That’s why it’ll be interesting to see if GOP members restrain themselves so as to not give the president the opportunity this year.

How To Watch Networks’ Super Tuesday Coverage On TV And Streaming

The suspense this Super Tuesday may be in watching how all of the networks try to make the night suspenseful.

Some 16 states and one territory will vote: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont and Virginia. A Democratic caucus also is being held in American Samoa, and Iowa Democrats also will reveal their results.

But with Joe Biden and Donald Trump on their way to a rematch in the 2024 presidential election, coverage Tuesday will focus on margins of victory, when each candidate will clinch their nomination and what’s next from now until Election Day. There also will be attention to down-ballot races, including California’s Senate primary to fill the seat long held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-ca).

Kate Snow to Drop ‘NBC Nightly News’ Sunday Anchor Duties
Image
Kate Snow, the NBC News veteran who has anchored the network’s Sunday broadcast of “NBC Nightly News” since 2015, plans to exit the post next week, she disclosed to viewers of the program Sunday evening, citing growing responsibilities tied to streaming content.

The move may be a sign that her presence is needed elsewhere. Snow, who is also a senior national correspondent for NBC News, has since September of 2022 co-anchored parts of “NBC News Daily,” a set of daytime hours that both stream on NBC News Now and appear in the daytime schedules of all NBC affiliates. NBC News has placed increasing emphasis on reaching viewers with streaming content, and has continued to expand the original programming it offers in that venue. Those duties, plus those that have Snow reporting on stories during the week for “Today” and the weekday broadcasts of “NBC Nightly News,” have begun to add up.

Haley and her top surrogate, New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, blitzed the airwaves on Monday, while Trump held a final rally in Laconia, Nh, where he predicted that Haley would be out of the race after tonight.

How To Watch The 2024 Iowa Republican Caucuses
Image
Have you heard it’s cold in Des Moines? The subzero temperatures are making Monday’s caucuses in Iowa the coldest on record, a running theme of coverage throughout the day and into this evening. It’s not trivial, as the frigid weather may very well impact turnout.

As Iowa’s first votes of the 2024 presidential race come in, expect a lot of analysis, punditry and prediction, even if the results represent just a sliver of the primary electorate. The Hawkeye state’s primacy as the first-in-the-nation often obscures the peculiarities of the caucus system, unless there is some kind of glitch, which is what happened four years ago with the Democrats.

That said, networks see the caucuses as the kickoff of what is hoped a spike in viewer interest in the presidential contest, as was seen in 2020 and 2016. All of the broadcast networks are planning for ongoing coverage of...

WME Stalwart Jon Rosen Exits to Launch Management Firm
Image
Jon Rosen, a longtime WME agent and executive who has represented some of TV’s best known news anchors and celebrity chefs, is leaving the Endeavor-owned agency to launch his own management firm, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Rosen, who represents NBC News’ Stephanie Ruhle, Willie Geist and Hallie Jackson as well as CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, is set to manage many of his current clients, according to one of these people, and they are expected to retain WME as an agency. A WME spokesperson did not respond immediately to a query seeking comment and Rosen could not be reached immediately for comment via a call Wednesday.

His exit comes as WME parent Endeavor has come under new scrutiny on Wall Street. The company, which recently helped create the combat-sports company Tko, suggested in October that it might consider going private.

Image
Update: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israeli soldiers are now in the Gaza strip, in what he characterized as the next stage of the war with Hamas.

Appearing at a press conference that was covered on major news networks, Netanyahu said that ground forces have gone into Gaza, entering the terrritory through the “gates of evil,” with the objective of eradicating Hamas’ military capabilities and to retrieve hostages.

“Our brave troops and combatants are now in Gaza or around Gaza,” he said.

He also pushed back against accusations that Israel was committing war crimes, saying that it was Hamas that was using people as “human shields,” per the BBC. He said that Israeli Defense Forces were taking steps to try to protect civilians.

Netanyahu said that the Israeli troops “are deployed all over’ the Gaza strip.

He said that they decided to expand operations in Gaza in a “very educated” manner.

Streaming NBC News Now Vies With Linear News Outlets in Xfinity Placement
Image
Cable subscribers typically recognize a handful of news brands, including CNN, MSNBC and Fox News Channel. If Comcast has its way, they may start to search more readily for one outlet that has been linked more readily to the emerging realm of broadband.

NBC News Now, the free ad-supported streaming service launched by NBC News in 2019, is set to be made a bigger a part of Xfinity, the consumer-facing cable-and-broadband service from corporate parent Comcast. NBC News Now will, starting Monday, become part of the company’s X1 platform and channel guide, alongside 20 other Fast channels. Users will see its offerings throughout various guides, including the ones pointing to live programming.

“Having an opportunity to get distribution on Xfinity was a chance that we did not want to pass up,” says Janelle Rodriguez, executive vice president of NBC News Now. “We are very seriously committed to being wherever we can...

Image
NBC News announced the class of nine journalists who will be deployed to cover 2024 presidential candidates and battleground states, tracking every movement of campaigns as the race unfolds.

The embeds, as they are called, serve as the eyes and ears on the ground for the NBCU news platforms, and are expected to do everything from research to shoot b-roll and live events, file digital stories and do on-air reporting.

This cycle’s class of embeds includes Emma Barnett, an associate producer for NBC News Now’s Hallie Jackson Now who previously worked on the Morning News Now team; Sarah Dean, producer for Meet the Press, where she has served as Chuck Todd’s anchor producer for the Sunday broadcast and produces guest interviews and writes the weekly Data Download segment; Nnamdi Egwuonwu, segment producer for MSNBC’s The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell and previously Zerlina on Peacock; Jillian Frankel,...

CBS News Streams ‘America Decides’ in Bid to Boost Washington Coverage
Image
TV news can help a dozen soundbites from politicians go viral on any day. One recent social-media uproar stirred by CBS News came not from flagship programs like “CBS Mornings” or “CBS Evening News,” but from “Red & Blue,” a program available only through streaming.

On a recent Wednesday, CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns nabbed an interview with Senator Tim Scott, the Republican presidential hopeful, and made sure to ask him his stance on federal limits on when women might be able to terminate a pregnancy. Scott gave all kinds of answers, but none of them directly answered her questions. The exchange made news — even though it debuted first in a place where, in another era, it might have gotten lost.

Correspondents would like to do more of these kinds of interviews, says Huey-Burns. “He hadn’t defended a position before, so we saw that as an opportunity. Once people...

NBC Works to Speed Digital-News Launches, in Bid to Outplay Rivals
Image
When NBC News announced in January that Hallie Jackson, its senior Washington correspondent, would leave the anchoring duties she had held at MSNBC since 2016, some eyebrows rose. But NBC News was chasing something else on the rise: Digital audiences.

Since Jackson began anchoring a late-afternoon hour on NBC News Now in December 2021, a growing audience has sought her out. Viewership surged 108% over the course of a year. “You don’t see those numbers in many businesses,” says Janelle Rodriguez, the NBC News executive vice president who oversees the streaming outlet, in an interview. “When you see that level of audience increase, you know you are on to something,” On Monday, Jackson will double her time on her program, “Hallie Jackson Now,” to two hours, which means she will hold forth from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

NBC News Now is also on Monday expanding its evening lineup. Gadi Schwartz will...

Gadi Schwartz’s NBC News Now Show Will Be A Rarity: A National Nightly News Show Based In Los Angeles
Image
When NBC News officially debuts Stay Tuned Now on its streaming platform tonight, it’ll be the rare national primetime news show based in Los Angeles which, because of distance and time zones, still is treated as the hinterlands from the D.C. and NYC media sphere.

Anchor Gadi Schwartz said, “For a long time, 8 o’clock rolled around and everyone’s like, ‘Oh well, we’re all done,’ and forgot that it is only 5 o’clock on the West Coast. This is a chance to reinvigorate the day’s news, and then expand the coverage with a perspective from the west looking east.”

Schwartz will be doing the NBC News Now show from the network’s broadcast studios in Universal City. The newscast is part of an expansion of Stay Tuned, the Snapchat show he’s hosted for nearly six years along with Savannah Sellers.

Chris Jansing Adds Hours in MSNBC Daytime Shakeup as Hallie Jackson Expands Streaming (Exclusive)

CNN isn’t the only cable-news network reworking its daytime schedule.

MSNBC is expanding Chris Jansing’s afternoon perch to two hours from one as the Washington D.C-based Hallie Jackson, who also anchors a late-afternoon program on NBC News Now, leaves the cable outlet to focus on the streaming work. Meanwhile, weekend host Jonathan Capehart, who has held forth on Sundays, will now do an hour on both Saturday and Sunday.

Midterm Elections Send NBC News to TikTok, Livestreaming
Image
On Election Night, NBC News will split its own ticket.

Yes, viewers can see Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell hold forth on NBC proper. But they might also seek out a growing array of programming on digital venues.

Though NBC News has had a presence on TikTok since 2019, the unit is for the first time dispatching personnel to provide real-time reporting to the venue’s users says Catherine Kim, senior vice president of global digital news. NBC News can tap any of its journalists to deliver a quick hit, recut a piece of video that ran elsewhere, or, says Kim, ramp up new efforts to tell users if misinformation is circulating. A series, #NBCdebunks, aims to give the TikTok audience facts in the face of false stories circulating on the app.

“It’s going to be a real priority,” says Kim, of the growing TikTok effort.

Covering The January 6th Committee Hearings: MSNBC Anchors Andrea Mitchell, Hallie Jackson And Katy Tur On Why “Everything Is At Stake”

The final January 6th Committee hearing on Thursday is expected to again focus on Donald Trump and his role in the siege of the Capitol — and why democracy continues to remain under threat.

With production values that have resembled a TV newsmagazine, the hearings have drawn viewer interest, giving networks a ratings uptick during the summer. MSNBC’s coverage of the past eight hearings so far have averaged 3.5 million viewers, topping rivals.

Deadline spoke to Andrea Mitchell, Katy Tur and Hallie Jackson, who have so far anchored more than 16 hours of coverage of the hearings in MSNBC daytime, and talked about what is at stake with the final hearing, their potential impact on the midterms, and how political coverage has changed in a landscape where so many candidates amplify the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
