 Tom Llamas Set as ‘NBC Nightly News’ Anchor
SHARE

Tom Llamas, who recently made the switch from ABC News to NBC News, has officially been named as the new anchor of “NBC Nightly News.” This announcement comes as Lester Holt prepares to step down from his role as the anchor of the esteemed evening newscast in early summer. Llamas, who has been hosting an early-evening program on NBC News Now, will continue to lead “Nightly” from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. eastern, followed by his streaming program, “Top Story.”

In a statement, Llamas expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to anchor “NBC Nightly News” and emphasized the responsibility that comes with the role. He praised Lester Holt as a trusted broadcaster and vowed to uphold the standards of journalism and truth-telling. Holt is expected to transition to a full-time role with NBC News’ “Dateline” after stepping down from “Nightly News.”

The news of Llamas’ appointment was not a well-kept secret in the television news industry, as it was widely speculated that he was in line for the “Nightly” job when he joined NBC News in 2021. His departure from ABC News was reportedly due to the lack of opportunity to lead “World News Tonight” on weekdays, as David Muir currently holds the position.

Llamas’ promotion to anchor of “NBC Nightly News” sets the stage for a competitive battle for viewership between him and his former colleague at ABC News. Despite the changing landscape of news consumption, evening newscasts continue to attract a significant audience. “World News Tonight” remains the most-watched evening news program, followed by “NBC Nightly News” and “CBS Evening News.”

The shift towards digital news consumption has prompted anchors like Llamas to adapt to new platforms. With a growing number of Americans getting their news from smartphones and computers, the role of traditional television anchors has evolved. Llamas acknowledges this shift, noting that broadcasters now need to actively engage viewers in a digital age.

Llamas’ extensive experience in broadcast journalism, including previous stints at NBC News, MSNBC, and ABC News, has prepared him for his new role as anchor of “NBC Nightly News.” NBC News executive vice president Janelle Rodriguez praised Llamas’ background and expertise, highlighting his ability to carry forward the legacy of the evening newscast.

As Llamas takes the helm of “NBC Nightly News,” he will continue to navigate the changing media landscape and connect with audiences across different platforms. His dedication to delivering important stories and upholding journalistic integrity will guide him in his new role as the face of one of America’s most-watched evening newscasts.
