But insiders say it’s Holt who’s got the upper hand as NBC News has no backup anchor plan.
“There’s a lot of drama at NBC News,” said a source familiar with the upcoming negotiations. Holt is currently being paid about $4 million per year as the “Nightly News” weekend anchor and for other assignments.
