Investing.com -- Lester Holt, the anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News for the past decade, announced on Monday that he will be stepping down from the renowned broadcast at the start of the summer season.
Holt, however, will not be leaving NBC entirely. He will maintain a full-time role at Dateline, where he has been the principal anchor for nearly 15 years, as per a memo shared with network staff on Monday.
NBC News has not yet named a successor for Holt’s position in the Nightly News.
Holt’s tenure as the anchor of Nightly News began in June 2015. Prior to that, he had been at the helm of the weekend editions of the news broadcast for eight years and co-anchored Weekend TODAY for 12 years. Since September 2011, he has held the position of principal anchor of Dateline.
In a note to Nightly and Dateline staff on Monday, Holt expressed his gratitude and excitement. He wrote, "A smile comes to my face when I think that with Nightly News, and Dateline, I have now anchored two of the most successful and iconic television news programs in broadcast history." Reflecting on his journey, he added, "As a 20-year-old radio reporter on the police beat chasing breaking news around San Francisco, I could never have imagined my career path would unfold in the way it has. What an amazing ride."
