Former NBC News president Andrew Lack is in talks to return to NBCUniversal’s news division, according to Variety’s Cynthia Littleton.
The discussions are in the early stages, but Lack is expected to return in a top role, if not the top job, overseeing NBCUniversal’s news operations: NBC News, MSNBC and CNBC.
