NBC is planning to announce on Thursday that Brian Williams will not return to his position as the anchor of its “Nightly News” show, four months after the network suspended him for exaggerating his role in a helicopter incident in Iraq, according to two people briefed on the discussions.

Mr. Williams is expected to move to a new role primarily at the cable news network MSNBC, probably in a breaking-news capacity in the beginning, according to one of the people.

Lester Holt, who has been filling in for Mr. Williams as anchor, will take on the position permanently, one person said.

Good. No one should ever be punished for lying about Iraq.

I was expecting a horse. Direct TV doesn't give you a GOAT.

Agreed, Clear, direct voice. Look you in the eye and sell you a car.


Brian can be in charge of UFO investigations.

Lester Holt does a good job.

I'm surprised Williams is staying with NBC. This is quite the demotion.

He should try to transition himself into Larry King's role.
