I don't know why Brian Williams isn't blogging right now.

He expressed the position that NBC is in, ... We're in a rebuilding phase. Nobody's in denial about that.

We're all uncertain. There's no question the audience has been willing to laugh. It just has been hard on television the last five years.

Most of them haven't been very good -- you have to start there.

I wondered if I would find the next few years as personally fulfilling as the first four I have spent as the president of NBC News. I also found myself missing the opportunity for the kind of creativity I've had in previous jobs.

Over the course of the past two weeks, ... NBC News has done a remarkable job of reporting on the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and Steve has been integral in every aspect of our preparation, planning and coverage. . . . We have a talented team in place in the front office, and I'll be working closely with all of them throughout this transition.

Neal has presided over one of the most challenging and successful times in this news division's history.

It gives me great confidence to know that Steve will be at the helm while we navigate these complicated times.

Neal has been a steady hand in changing times, and our continued success through it all is a testament to his great leadership.
