NBC News on Monday named “Top Story with Tom Llamas” executive producer Matt Frucci as the new executive producer of “NBC Nightly News,” continuing his pairing with the newly minted evening news anchor.
Frucci starts Oct. 6 after a return from paternity leave.
“Matt knows Nightly inside and out,” Executive Vice President of Programming Janelle Rodriguez said in a memo to staff. “As EP of the weekend editions for more than six years, he led the show to multiple season wins. He has also served as EP for countless NBC News primetime specials and breaking news coverage, including the Emmy-winning reporting of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.”
More to come…
