WILLIAMS RETURNS SEPT. 22
Brian Williams, the former NBC ‘Nightly News’ anchor demoted for fibbing about his reporting experiences, will return to the airwaves on Sept. 22 in his new role as live breaking news anchor for MSNBC during the cable network’s coverage of Pope Francis’ visit to the U.S. Williams doesn’t have a dedicated time slot or program but will work on daytime programs as news breaks, NBC said. In June, NBC News announced that Lester Holt, who had substituted for Williams while he was serving a six-month suspension, would become permanent anchor for the evening news program.
