Network execs have been investigating the news anchor’s embellishments sources tells Page Six that Williams’ six-month suspension will be up in August.
There are any number of possible outcomes. Several of the sources said Williams could end up leaving NBC altogether following a financial settlement.
But another possibility, and the one advanced in recent discussions, involves a new role for Williams.
Andy Lack, the chairman of NBC News, has reportedly been a proponent of this outcome.
An announcement is expected this week.
