Brian Williams, U.S. anchor and journalist, will exit NBC News and MSNBC after nearly three decades with the company.
He will depart next month.
“Brian Williams has informed us he would like to take the coming months to spend time with his family. He will be signing off from The 11th Hour at the end of the year,” MSNBC president Rashida Jones said in a memo.
Williams added that his time at NBC spanned 28 years in 38 countries. “I was on the air for the launch of MSNBC. My return years later was my choice, as was launching The 11th Hour that I’m as proud of as the decade I spent anchoring Nightly News,” he said.
He added, “There are many things I want to do, and I’ll pop up again somewhere. For the next few months, I’ll be with my family, the people I love most and the people who enabled my career to happen.”
