ON TELEVISION
NBC News will have former Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw moderate Meet the Press through the November presidential election. Brokaw will start next week saying he “volunteered for the job” to honor his friend and colleague Tim Russert who died of a heart attack June 13. The show will still be based in Washington, D.C. with Betsy Fischer as Executive Producer. According to NBC News President Steve Capus, Brokaw is only filling in temporarily but this interim period gives NBC more time to find a permanent replacement.
