I am glad to see that Lester Holt is taking over the NBC Nightly News anchor spot on a regular basis. He definitely deserves it although I am sorry that he won't be doing the Weekend Today Show which might completely stop watching now. Will Lester Holt's change of job change your viewing habits?

I doubt it. I watch ABC with David Muir.
However, Lester Holt is a gracious and intelligent man and I've always liked him. If ABC World News Tonight is preempted with sports, etc., I will watch Mr. Holt on NBC.

I like Lester Holt, but he's a news reader. NBC is MSNBC, and I'm simply not interested.

He's sincere, and it comes through -- which is rare and worth a great deal in the trust business. I've always admired and respected him. Very modest, very smart. Been in news as a reporter or anchor for 34 years.

I like Lester Holt. I used to watch Tom Brokaw religiously.

I watched Brian Williams before David Muir took over at ABC.

I've always liked NBC (network) News.

I wish Lester was offered the job before Brian Williams.

Nightly News anchors are news reader. Lester Holt wasn't just a news reader as the Weekend Today anchor. So one knows that he is more than just a news reader.

I'm at a crossroads, 'cause I regularly watch David Muir but I also like Lester Holt. I guess I'll just alternate between the two networks.

I am so glad that Lester got promoted to Nightly News so we can see him five days a week instead of two. He deserved the position a long time ago, and if NBC was not going to give it to him no doubt that he was going to leave. Also glad to seem him away from the Today show so he won't be doing that stupid variety fest on the show, and back to his hard news roots.

Now that he is away from the Weekend show, yes my viewing habits will change. I don't care for the rest of the cast on the weekend show, Dylan Dryer I like second to Lester but now that he has left, I won't be watching. I don't care for Erica Hill, she is a snooze right and patronizing.

NBC made the wrong decision at hiring her cause now that Lester has left, the Weekend show will be in trouble with her leading everything. NBC better find a replacement for Erica because she is going to make Weekend Today a total bore to watch, she can't connect to her viewers, she has a weird facial expressions and she talks too fast and a snob.

I don't like that short black man on the show, he tries to hard and has a psuedo anchorman persona about him. He reminds me of a Nickledeon character.

I am going to watch GMA Weekend with Dan Harris and Paula Faris for now on, better team, chemistry and personality.

Lester is an excellent newsman! If Scott Pelley keeps up the absenteeism, I'll be switching.

I like Lester. I watched Pelley for awile but was afraid he would drop his glasses.
