• 'NBC Nightly News' Wins Feb. Sweeps, Lester Holt Returns to Anchor Seat Tonight

    February was a month of complete turmoil behind the scenes at 'NBC Nightly News,' yet somehow the network has managed to pull through the sweeps period in the top spot in the sweeps. Not an easy task when you take into consideration the fact that the face of NBC News, Brian Williams, found himself so tangled in a scandal that the only thing the network could do was suspend him for the next six months. If at first the network believed it needed Williams at the helm to keep the network in the top spot, then it must be rethinking that theory because Lester Holt has not only held things down, but he also scored an increase in ratings at one point. He will return to the anchor seat tonight, March 3.
  • Savannah Guthrie Anchoring 'NBC Nightly News'

    NBC's Savannah Guthrie is going to be pulling double duty tonight, March 2. First the anchor was seen on the air for her usual 'Today' show stint and now the network has announced that she will be holding down the anchor desk tonight on 'NBC Nightly News.' This switch comes on the heels of us learning that not only is Lester Holt keeping the broadcast steady in the ratings, but the numbers have also seen an increase in the last week.
