Spring sees ABC anchor flip to NBC News
ABC News reporter and “Good Morning America” weekend host Kate Snow is jumping to NBC News.
NBC said Snow will begin work as a “Dateline NBC” correspondent in the spring. Snow has been with ABC since 2003 and one of its weekend morning anchors since the show launched in 2004.
