NBC/Comcast announced today that Tamron Hall will be leaving NBC after 10 years. Taking over her hour of the Today show maybe Ex-Fox News star Megyn Kelly.
Tamron Hall is leaving NBC News and MSNBC when her contract expires this month.
“Yesterday was her last day as an anchor on both networks,” reads a statement from NBC News. “Tamron is an exceptional journalist, we valued and enjoyed her work at Today and MSNBC and hoped that she would decide to stay. We are disappointed that she has chosen to leave, but we wish her all the best.”
It wasn't about Money however:
A source familiar with the situation tells PEOPLE that Hall was offered a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract to remain with the network but chose to leave.
Tameron Hall had many different jobs with NBC.
Hall joined MSNBC and NBC in 2007, and became part of the Today team in 2014 as a co-anchor of Today’s Take, the morning show’s third hour. Hall also anchored MSNBC Live, a daily news program airing at 11:00 a.m. on MSNBC.
As to what NBC plans to do with Kelly it hasn't been decided yet…..also no word on whether she will appear on MSNBC.
Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb’s 10:00 a.m. slot. If Kelly, 46, takes over the fourth hour, Gifford, 63, and Kotb, 52, will be bumped up to the 9:00 a.m. slot." Kelly will either take over Today’s third hour, or will take over Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb’s 10:00 a.m. slot. If Kelly, 46, takes over the fourth hour, Gifford, 63, and Kotb, 52, will be bumped up to the 9:00 a.m. slot.
According to the network, Roker will continue host the third hour until the new morning lineup begins this fall.
The Today co-host’s departure was first revealed in a tweet from CNN’s Brian Stelter
There will be no goodbye for her…..which is a industry standard but IMHO a shame.
If you use twitter please wish her Luck.
