For the past five years, Williams has anchored “The 11th Hour”, a day-long newscast and political talk programme.

CNN Business reported in August that Williams’ contract was expiring within the next six months and that he wanted to skip his 11 a.m. Eastern hour.

Now he is doing it. But Williams, 62, has no intention of retiring. A source close to Williams said there would be no imminent announcements about the new role at another media company. (News reports this fall have speculated about him jumping into a new network.)

The source said Williams has yet to have any formal discussions about a new position.

Williams’ exit from NBC marks the end of an era. He was a key player in the launch of the MSNBC cable news channel in 1996. He then went on to become one of America’s best-known newspapers during his decade at the helm of “NBC Nightly News”, one of the most-watched news programs. America

his stint on that show was 201. small in5 When Found Near Him exaggerated some stories in interviews. He was suspended for six months and was replaced by Lester Holt on “Nightly News”. but he embraced New Assignment on MSNBC And was essentially able to find himself again.
“Most broadcasters would have been cooked if they had gone through the kind of scandal that Williams faced in 2015,” Vanity Fair Said in 2017. “But a slow and steady revival — a mix of dutiful austerity, clever planning and a dramatic shift in media — has Williams turning 11 p.m. into the new primetime.”

There was no immediate word on when Williams’ last broadcast will take place.
