Jamie Horowitz's short tenure at NBC News has come to an end. Barely three months into his tenure as senior vp and general manager of Today, The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the veteran TV exec is out. NBC News did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
RECOMMEN
Originally set to join the network in December, Horowitz started taking meetings atToday in September, overseeing the network's flagship morning show in its pursuit to reclaim No. 1 status from ABC's Good Morning America. According to one source, Horowitz clashed with NBC News president Deborah Turness.
The news follows reports that Turness has butted heads withBrian Williams and David Gregory since assuming lead of NBC News in 2013 — the latter, of course, lost his job as host of Meet the Press in August after drawn-out speculation that he was on his way out. Oddly, this also comes just three days after The New York Post ran a story suggesting that Horowitz, along with Bloomberg BusinessWeek editor Josh Tyrangiel, were being floated as possible Turness replacements.
NBC News has been in a transition mode since Turness' addition. And Today and Meet the Pressaren't the only properties that have needed a course correction. Evening news flagshipNightly News with Brian Williams has also lost ground to ABC's World News, now anchored by David Muir.
