Peter Alexander, one of the hardest working TV-news correspondents in the sector, will leave his longtime home at NBC News, he announced to viewers Saturday morning during a weekend telecast of “Today.”

Alexander has for years shouldered the logistical challenge of co-anchoring the Saturday broadcast of “Today” and serving as NBC News’ chief White House correspondent. Those duties often have him working sources in Washington during the week, then traveling up to New York City for “Today” duties. Overall, he has logged 15 years on the White House beat and worked “Today” weekends since 2018.
