The decline and fall of NBC News

Politico

"When Comcast acquired NBCUniversal in 2011, Comcast chairman and CEO Brian Roberts called NBC News "the crown jewel" of his new empire. With good reason: At the time, the news division was dominant on all fronts. 'Today' was number-one in the morning, 'Nightly News' was number-one at night, and 'Meet The Press' was number-one on Sunday."
. . .
"All things considered -- the failure to right the ship at 'Today', the public humiliation of David Gregory, the failure to back Brian Williams (at least initially), the severe ratings declines at NBC, MSNBC and CNBC, and the Horowitz fiasco -- many industry insiders are wondering how much more time Fili-Krushel will have at the helm."
