Months after Brian Williams was put on suspension, rumors have been floating around about his future on NBC. Rumor has it, the network plans to keep him, but he will not return as the "NBC Nightly News" anchor.
CNN was first to report the news, with The New York Times adding that Williams' new role would primarily be at the cable news network MSNBC, "probably in a breaking-news capacity in the beginning."
NBC has not commented on the news as an anchor at the network claimed, "No one knows anything." The news channel is expected to make announcement about Williams' future on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Lester Holt, who has filled in for Williams on "Nightly News" for the past four months, will reportedly take over the position permanently.
NBC announced on February 10 that Williams was suspended for six months without pay, following his exaggerating story about his experience in Iraq in 2003. His suspension will end in August.
