Deadline reports that TODAY's Natalie Morales will say goodbye to her post on the New York-based morning show to become the anchor of Today West Coast. In addition, she will anchor NBCUniversal's ACCESS HOLLYWOOD and ACCESS HOLLYWOOD Live.
It was also reported this week that Billy Bush will exit ACCESS HOLLYWOOD to join the Today in New York. The news was revealed in a memo from Today's SVP Noah Oppenheim which follows:I'm writing with exciting news - this summer, Natalie Morales will move to LA to become TODAY's West Coast Anchor and a host of ACCESS HOLLYWOOD and ACCESS HOLLYWOOD Live. She'll also continue to play a prominent role on Dateline.
As you all know, Natalie has already been spending a lot of time in California, reporting live from special events like the Oscars, Golden Globes and Latin American Music Awards, conducting celebrity interviews and set visits, and spearheading two big series spotlighting women who are leaders in SILICON VALLEY and Hollywood. With our show's increasing focus on West Coast stories, it became clear to me that having a permanent anchor presence in LA would be of enormous value.Image: NBC
