Tom Llamas will take over as the anchor of NBC’s flagship news program, “NBC Nightly News,” the company said on Wednesday.
Mr. Llamas, 45, has been the anchor on the company’s streaming news outlet, NBC News Now. He succeeds Lester Holt, the longtime anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” who last month announced his plans to step down from the role.
The network said Mr. Llamas would take over “NBC Nightly News” this summer.
