Megyn Kelly is damaged goods, and it’s surprising that NBC News only now realizes it.
Here’s the problem: Kelly doesn’t quite have a place in these highly partisan times, and her early “gets” with Vladimir Putin and Alex Jones don’t change that. The Left is still disgusted over her race-baiting reports on Fox News over the years. (NewsOne has helpfully chosen her “10 most racist moments” here.) The Right now sees her as a traitor, heading to NBC in a bid to go mainstream.
NBC should have known this wouldn’t be easy, but instead of working on an image rehab, the network threw her to the wolves with Putin and Jones. Simply showing up at NBC and saying (wink-wink) now I can be a real journalist doesn’t make that baggage go away.
It ought to have been no surprise that re-entering the hornet’s nest might sting.

Chelsea Clinton's time at NBC News has officially ended. Clinton made her debut on the network in December 2011 as a special correspondent. She appeared on the since-canceled Rock Center With Brian Williams and other programming. In recent months, however, the network was criticized over her reported substantial salary at the news division. In June, a Politico report, citing unnamed sources, stated that Clinton's salary was $600,000 annually. Following the item, an Associated Press article noted that the former first daughter hadn't appeared on the network since January. An NBC News spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter

Chelsea Clinton was paid an annual salary of $600,000 to be a special correspondent for NBC News, according to Politico. Clinton did a few features for “Rock Center With Brian Williams” until it was canceled in June 2013, including a notorious interview with the Geico Gecko, and has contributed to NBC Nightly News packages. She reportedly is still being paid on a month-to-month basis, though it is unclear if she'll continue to work with the network after she gives birth to her first child, due this fall. Clinton's gig could also be in jeopardy should her mother choose to run for...

Amidst his "Rock Center" cancellation and reports that the NBC News anchor was "insulted" by the network's decision, Brian Williams raised eyebrows when he lunched with CAA CEO Richard Lovett last week.
The New York Post reported on Sunday that Williams was spotted lunching with the talent agency bigwig at a Rockefeller Center restaurant. The Post speculated that Williams might be on the lookout for a major new contract a la "Today" host Matt Lauer, who signed a deal last year reportedly worth $25 million.
A NBC News spokesperson dismissed the speculation, noting that Williams was in the middle of a long-term contract.

Fast National ratings for Friday, May 17, 2013
Despite a quiet night on all of the networks, "Nikita" saw soft ratings for its Season 3 finale, landing at the bottom of the ratings pile against a lineup of reality, news programs and repeats. The low-rated -- yet already renewed for a final fourth season -- program only pulled in 1.1 million viewers for the only original scripted program of the night. While an increase over recent weeks, the show has seen higher ratings this season alone.
Thanks mostly to the dominance of two hours of "Shark Tank," the night's highest-rated show, ABC led the night overall, with 5.7 million viewers and a 3.7/7 share in households. NBC's solid night of news programming followed (5.2 million, 3.6/7), with CBS' (4.9 million, 3.3/6) "Undercover Boss"-dominated night rounding out the big three. Fox aired only reruns to come in fourth (2.2 million, 1.5/3), while The CW lagged with 0.9 million viewers (0.6/1).

Rock Center with Brian Williams may have been cancelled but NBC's other news program, Dateline, isnt going anywhere. The peacock network quietly renewed the show for a 23rd season when they included it on their 2013-14 schedule.
Currently anchored by Lester Holt, Dateline has been a staple of the network since March 1992 and has become a utility player of sorts -- often airing multiple times in one week, sometimes filling timeslots when other shows get canned.

Even the anchor of the NBC Nightly News isn't immune to having his show cancelled, as Brian Williams found out yesterday. Rock Center with Brian Williams has been cancelled after two low-rated seasons. The program is expected to stay on the schedule through next month.
Williams issued a statement regarding the cancellation and wrote, "I'm so proud of the work we did. Our people got shot at for this broadcast. They pulled countless all-nighters. They investigated, cajoled, hustled and cared deeply. They won awards, won the respect of their colleagues and produced great television journalism."
One of the awards that he mentions went to Bob Costas for his memorable telephone interview with Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky, who was later convicted of child molestation.

New York — NBC is ordering up a new comedy for next season from "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence and an updating of the `70s cop drama "Ironside."
And in a surprise move, the network is bringing back "Community" for a fifth season. This quirky college comedy has struggled in the ratings but enjoys a devoted cult following.
The revived "Ironside" will star Blair Underwood as the paralyzed lawman who uses a wheelchair. That memorable character was originally played by Raymond Burr.
Another new drama, "Chicago Pd," is from producer Dick Wolf ("Law & Order"). It will serve as a companion piece to "Chicago Fire," which premiered this season.
The Lawrence-produced comedy, "Undateable," stars Chris D'Elia (from the just-canceled NBC sitcom "Whitney") as a ladies' man who wants to help a circle of friends who are not so successful with romance.

Even news programs aren't immune to being axed. NBC has cancelled Rock Center with Brian Williams after two low-rated seasons.
It's actually a wonder that the show was renewed for a second season given its dismal ratings. Last year, on Monday nights, it barely averaged a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.54 million viewers. This season, it's done even worse -- drawing a 1.0 rating average.
The numbers held steady when it was moved from Thursdays to Friday nights but was typically trounced by the competition.
Dateline, which also airs on Friday evenings has been averaging a better 1.3 in the demo and 5.18 million.
Word is that Rock Center with Brian Williams will stay on the schedule until some time next month.

The wave of cancellations at NBC in the past couple of days has extended to the news division.
Newsmagazine "Rock Center with Brian Williams" is going off the air after two seasons. Its final episode is set to air June 21.
The show made some headlines early in its run, notably for a November 2011 interview with disgraced Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky. It never gained a strong foothold in the ratings, however, leading to its cancellation
So far this season, "Rock Center" is averaging about 4.1 million viewers per week and a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49. By comparison the Friday and Sunday editions of NBC's other newsmag, "Dateline," each draw about 6 million people and 18-49 ratings of 1.5 (Friday) and 1.3 (Sunday).
Williams remains the anchor of "NBC Nightly News," which is still the most-watched of the network evening news broadcasts. It draws 8.75 million viewers per night, more than twice what "Rock Center" does.

Because not even the news is safe from being declared no longer “right” for NBC, Rock Center With Brian Williams has also been canceled, a mere two years after it first began the experiment of covering world events with handsomeness. The low-rated show had been bumped around the schedule numerous times in its brief life, finally ending up in a Friday night timeslot where, oddly, it seemed no one really wanted to hear about politics or disasters, even if it meant catching Rock Center “exclusives” like Chelsea Clinton interviewing the Geico Gecko.

NBC canceled its primetime newsmagazine "Rock Center with Brian Williams" on Friday. The New York Times was first to report that the program had been canceled and would broadcast its final show on June 21, less than two years after its November 2011 debut.
"Rock Center," which was a project launched under former NBC News president Steve Capus, struggled to find a steady audience, due in part to multiple scheduling changes. When it first premiered, the show aired on Monday nights. It was quickly moved to Wednesday nights, then to Thursday nights, and most recently to Friday at 10:00 p.m., where it has been since November 2012.
The hourlong program boasted a correspondent roster that featured some of news business' biggest stars, including Ted Koppel, Meredith Vieira, Natalie Morales, Kate Snow and Harry Smith. Chelsea Clinton also served as a "Rock Center" correspondent, and most recently interviewed the Geico Gecko.

Rock Center launched March 1 of last year, and though it scored several high-profile interviews during the 2012 election cycle, it never managed to take off. June 21 will be the last show. Rock Center was shuffled from Monday to Wednesday to Thursday and ultimately to Friday earlier this year, where its sophomore ratings averaged just a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49 and just north of 4.1

NBC News is planning to make Deborah Turness its new president, multiple outlets reported on Friday.
If announced, Turness, who has run Britain's ITV News since 2004, would become the first female president of a U.S. news network. Former NBC News president Steve Capus stepped down from his role earlier this year amidst rocky times at the news network's cash cow, the "Today" show.
Last month, the Los Angeles Times' Joe Flint reported that NBC News was looking across the pond for its new chief and wrote, "People close to the search said NBC News Chairman Pat Fili-Krushel is intrigued by Turness." When Comcast took over NBC Universal, it restructured the network's news properties by grouping NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC into one entity called NBCUniversal News Group, overseen by Fili-Krushel. If announced as NBC News president, Turness would report to Fili-Krushel, the first female chairman of a U.S.

Fast National ratings for Friday, May 3, 2013
Although rising slightly from its series low marks last week, ABC's struggling comedy "Happy Endings" finished out Season 3 with typically miserable ratings. After the 8 p.m. half hour hit 2.7 million viewers, the 8:30 p.m. installment -- which could be the show's last ever broadcast on ABC -- cratered to 2.1 million.
Only two "Happy Endings" episodes have ever drawn less viewers, both airing Friday at 8:30 this season. The season finale's 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demo barely tops last week's series low of 0.6. Looks like the producers may want to pursue that USA option as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, following "Happy Endings" pushed a new episode of ABC's solid reality staple "Shark Tank" to a season low in viewers with just 5.5 million. While that number is a little startling for a show that has only slipped below 6 million viewers in one other first-run airing this season,...

"Happy Endings" ticked up in its second week on Fridays, rising three tenths of a point in the 18-49 demographic over last week and providing a glimmer of positive news for the on-the-bubble show.

ABC's "Shark Tank" scored the best 18-49 rating of the night, while CBS' "Blue Bloods" had the biggest total audience, as it usually does. "Grimm" scored its best 18-49 rating in four weeks for NBC.

Update: Ari Emanuel clearly doesn’t know when to leave well enough alone. NBC’s Rock Center With Brian Williams featured a mostly lighthearted profile of hm and his two bros Friday night timed to the publication of Brothers Emanuel: A Memoir Of An American Family. Brian Williams assembled Ari, the Wme talent agency chief; Rahm, current mayor of Chicago and former Obama Chief of Staff; and Zeke, bioethicist doctor and the book’s author. But Ari followed up with a legal letter to the network complaining about “contentious” nature of Williams’ questioning. You be the judge if Ari needs to develop a thicker skin:...

NBC's news magazine aired a segment on Friday night that united the three Emanuel brothers -- Ari, along with Chicago mayor Rahm and noted bioethicist Ezekiel -- to talk about their upbringing and current jobs. Video: Ari, Rahm Emanuel Reminisce, Joke on 'Rock Center with Brian Williams' But although the aired conversation with Brian Williams was filled with lighthearted chatting between the siblings and promotion of Ezekiel's new book, the William Morris Endeavor co-ceo sent a legal letter to the network after the taping objecting to its "contentious" nature, The Hollywood Reporter

Fast National ratings for Friday, March 22, 2013
It takes more than a little March Madness to take on Jonathan Taylor Thomas and ABC's sitcom finales: "Last Man Standing" and "Malibu Country" ended their second and first seasons, respectively, at the top of the Friday-night ratings. Both shows showed growth from previous weeks as well.
CBS continued with its Ncaa basketball tournament coverage, while NBC saw ratings stay even for new episodes of "Fashion Star" and "Grimm." Things were not so rosy over at Fox and The CW, where a "Kitchen Nightmares" rerun led into a down "Touch," and a repeat of CW's Justin Timberlake special led in to another low-rated entry for "Cult."
ABC led the night overall with 6.5 million viewers and a 4.2 rating/7 share in households, easily beating NBC (3.9 million, 2.6/5) for the top spot. CBS (3.6 million, 2.3/4) was not far behind in third. Fox drew 2.8 million viewers and a 1.8/3, while The...

CBS stalwart "Blue Bloods" was the highlight of a quiet night on the networks that saw Fox's "Touch" and ABC's "Malibu Country" post their lowest ratings to date, NBC's "Grimm" lose some ground from a solid premiere last week and the CW's "Nikita" continue to improve.
It's looking like the end of the road for "Touch" in particular, as the Kiefer Sutherland second year series hit new lows of 2.39 million viewers and a 0.6 rating in 18-49 -- that's despite facing rerun competition on both ABC and CBS.
Also in the timeslot, "Grimm" slipped slightly from last week's return after a long hiatus to a 1.4 in 18-49 and 4.88 million viewers, both representing season lows.
The CW's "Cult" was actually up a bit in the same timeslot -- to a still dismal 847,000 viewers -- but that may have been boosted by "Nikita's" performance as its lead-in. This week's 0.5 rating in 18-49 and...
