Peter Alexander exits NBC News After 20 Years
NBC News‘ chief White House correspondent and co-host of Today on Saturdays, said that he is departing the network.
Alexander, who has been with the network for 22 years, cited personal reasons, but sources say that he is expected to join MS NOW, which formerly was NBC News’ sister network.
On Today on Saturday, Alexander called the show “literally my happy place,” but talked of the demands of trekking each Friday evening from his home in the Washington area to New York.
“I’ve been away from home more than 80 nights in the last seven months, more than 220 Friday nights, 220 Fridays nights away from my family in the last seven years,” Alexander told viewers on Saturday. “So it’s a limited window before my daughters lose interest in hanging out with me. It’s happened quick. I’m eager to carve out a better balance between my personal and professional lives and to challenge myself with something new.”
