NBC's "Nightly News" and "Rock Center with Brian Williams" anchor, Brian Williams, is reportedly upset at NBC executives over changes to "Rock Center" news show, according to TheHollywoodReporter.com.
"Rock Center" was recently moved from Thursday nights to Friday nights at 10/9c to make room for the drama "Do Not Harm" which did far worse than "Rock Center" in the ratings and was canceled after two episodes," reported seattlepi.com.
THR also cites sources that say Williams is upset that previous talks to expand the program to multiple weekly airings have been abandoned.
However, "Rock Center" executive producer Alexandra Wallace dismissed the report by issuing a statement to TVGuide.com:
"Brian's take on our new time slot was truly funny and the furthest thing from angry,'" Wallace said. "He made light of our travels through the schedule, and we are all thrilled by Rock Center's strong ratings after our Friday night debut. We look forward to settling down in our new home."
No one can blame Williams if he is truly upset, as, according to seattlepi.com, this is the third time "Rock Center" has been moved since it premiered in November 2011. Originally scheduled on Monday nights, it was moved to Wednesdays and then Thursdays, before the latest rescheduling, stated by seattlepi.com.
To show some distain, Williams ended the Feb. 8 "Rock Center" show with a segment characterizing Friday as its "latest resting place," reported lalate.com.
The Huffington post took it even further stating that Williams portrayed the show as "a nomadic settler in the West, not wanted on Wednesdays and displaced by 'American Idol' and 'Modern Family.'"
