“Before we go tonight – I want to share some personal news. For eight and a half years, I have loved being with you every Sunday night. It’s been a privilege. Many of you know that I also anchor a weekday program, it’s called NBC News Daily. It’s a fast-paced show filled with all the news that’s relevant to you highlighting our NBC News reporters. Our audience on NBC News Daily is growing fast, and I have decided after a lot of thought to focus my attention Monday through Friday, on that role. So next Sunday will be my last Sunday anchoring Nightly News,” Snow said during Sunday’s telecast.
She continued, “I will miss the team that you don’t see behind the cameras here but I’ll still continue to be part of the Nightly Newsfamily, reporting and contributing. And again, you can find me every weekday by streaming NBC News Daily, live from 2-4 p.m. ET on NBC News NOW or finding us on your local NBC affiliate. I will see you next week. And for all of us here at NBC News – stay safe, and have a great night.”
