Lester Holt Will Most Likely Replace Brian Williams as Permanent Host of NBC's NIGHTLY NEWS

CNN reports that "it is increasingly clear that Lester Holt is going to stay in the "NBC Nightly News" anchor chair.
His assignment was originally supposed to last six months -- the amount of time Brian Williams was suspended after ten years at the helm of "Nightly."

Williams was suspended for his false reporting several years ago on a war-related story. According to the report, negotiations between NBC executives and Williams' attorney are "focused on two potential paths: a new role for Williams, or an exit from the network."

Despite the controversy involving Williams, "NBC Nightly News" has remained the most-watched nightly news broadcast in the country.
