Lack named NBC News Group chairman
By DYLAN BYERS | 3/6/15 11:19 AM EST
NBCUniversal announced Friday that it has hired Andrew Lack to serve as chairman of the NBC News Group, confirming earlier reports that the former NBC News president was set to return to the network.
“Andys experience and familiarity with our company and specifically the news division will be critical to our growth and future success,” CEO Steve Burke wrote in a memo to staff.
Lack will replace current chairman Pat Fili-Krushel, who will move to “a new corporate role” on Burke’s executive team. Fili-Krushel was made chairman of the NBC News Group in 2012, overseeing NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC.
Lack, who was president of NBC News from 1993 to 2001 and created MSNBC in 1996, will only oversee those channels. CNBC President Mark Hoffman will report directly to Burke.

I called it.
That’s supposed to restore credibility to the evening news????
Oh, please...not that old baggage.
Surely they have someone smarter, prettier, and more intelligent.
With long, beautiful legs. Oh, wait—that’s FOXnews.
Another photo showing Willie just can’t keep his arms off ladies bazooms.
Definition of insanity: Doing same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Hence-Hire back Couric

In the entire population of the US and Canada, about 350 million souls, there are apparently about five people who are capable of functioning as the teleprompter reader on a major network nightly news broadcast.
It doesn’t matter how many times these five people screw up. It doesn’t matter how many viewers tune them out.
Ha! Their ratings will plummet.
Never mind that she bombed on CBS.
Katie Couric was on NBC ?
“Lack, who was president of NBC News from 1993 to 2001 and created MSNBC in 1996...”
OMG! I need to put on my Depends - because EVERY article I read here on FR today is making me pee from LAUGHTER!
:)
That will save NBC for sure! Oh noes! Please don’t bring back the perky one or we are doomed!
So they’re going to trade quirky for perky.
Good grief. Just never stops does it.
Bring back Connie Chung!
They would do better with this guy.
