Brian Williams to be host of nightly show on MSNBC

Former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams, who received his start in broadcast journalism at KOAM in 1980, will once again be the host of a nightly news program, though it will be on a much lower profile.

Williams, who has been handling breaking news and major event coverage on MSNBC since his return from a six-month suspension for what the New York Post describes as "getting caught serially exaggerating stories, including a claim that he came under rocket fire in the Iraq War in 2003," will have a half hour program from 10 to 10:30 p.m. weekdays covering the day's election news.
