• NBC Re-Airing 'Nightly News' Overnight to Boost Ratings

    Lester Holt has done a really great job of holding 'NBC Nightly News' together ever since Brian Williams was forced from his anchor seat in early February. It has been widely reported that not only has Holt managed to hold on to NBC's winning spot in the evening news battle, but he has also helped to boost ratings as well. A few questions have been raised, though, about whether or not the network is being a little bit shady in its tactics to hold on to that lead. According to various sources, NBC has begun airing 'NBC Nightly News' a second time after its original 6:30 p.m. broadcast. The re-airing overnight, and the numbers it pulls in are applied to the overall total.
