Seigenthaler announced during his April 1, 2007 newscast that it was his final broadcast as anchor of the weekend edition of NBC Nightly News. He also hosted the television shows “MSNBC Investigates” and “MSNBC Reports” on MSNBC. Though no specific reason was given for his departure, unofficial network sources pointed to job cuts and consolidation of operations announced late last year by NBC News President Steve Capus that promised to slice some $750 million from parent NBC Universal’s budget by 2008.
