Ann Curry is leaving NBC behind two years after the Today Show debacle. Curry, who has been with the network for 25 years, will leave NBC News and the $12 millions paycheck for a media startup —backed by NBCUniversal.
Curry released a statement on her new venture, “This is about reaching for the edge of the future in journalism, which we know is undergoing an irrevocable transition. I am excited about working to become a valuable link between traditional media and what is to come. In today’s world of fragmented media, this is the time to seize the opportunity to improve the way we distribute and even tell stories.”
An NBC source tells Page Six that Curry has been unhappy for a while, “Ann has been unhappy for a long time because she’s basically doing nothing, while NBC is unhappy that she has been paid a lot of money to do nothing.”
