Erica Hill, who was removed from the weekday morning show on CBS over the summer, is jumping to NBC.
Ms. Hill will soon be named a co-host of the weekend edition of “Today,†according to people with knowledge of the appointment, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to talk about it ahead of time.
“Weekend Today†is currently hosted by Lester Holt on Saturday and Sunday and co-hosted by Jenna Wolfe on Sunday. Earlier this year the co-host on Saturday, Amy Robach, took a job at ABC.
A spokeswoman for “Today†declined to comment, as did a spokeswoman for CBS News. Ms. Hill did not respond to a request for comment.
Ms. Hill joined CBS in 2010 from CNN, wher e she was a news anchor and correspondent for Anderson Cooper's nightly newscast. She was a co-host of “The Early Show†and the harder-edged morning show, “CBS This Morning,†that replaced it.
In July CBS executives replaced Ms. Hill with Norah O'Donnell, the network's chief White House correspondent (and a former news anchor of “Weekend Todayâ€). CBS tried to find a new role for Ms. Hill at the network, but expected that she might look elsewhere. Her expected hiring by NBC was reported by The New York Post earlier Friday.
A version of this article appeared in print on 10/13/2012, on page C2 of the NewYork edition with the headline: Erica Hill Is Moving to a New Job at NBC.
