Peter Alexander, who covered Washington for NBC News for more than a decade, is leaving the network to join MS NOW, according to people familiar with his plans.

Alexander, 49, will serve as an anchor and chief national reporter for MS NOW. He will have a weekday program and also handle breaking news coverage throughout the day.

A 22-year veteran of NBC News, Alexander served as chief White House correspondent and co-host of the Saturday edition of “Today” with Laura Jarrett. He is among the most familiar faces in the White House briefing room.

Alexander told viewers at the end of his Saturday broadcast that he is departing NBC News but did not mention his new job. A representative for MS NOW declined comment.

1. An anchor for what time slot?

Alexander wasn’t mentioned in the recent announcement of MSNOW’s schedule reshuffle.

Perhaps he will start off anchoring on weekends or filling in when regular anchors are out?

3. Maybe Melber will leave to host

A show about rap. And Alexander can have that slot. Lol
