Ann Curry, whose humiliating dismissal from the Today show in 2012 was a PR disaster for her and for NBC, is leaving the network that her fans believe treated her shabbily.
Curry announced in a statement she is leaving the network as a full-time employee to begin a new relationship with NBCUniversal that allows her to report on any platform and on any network, including NBC News.
She also is developing a media start-up, seeded by NBCUniversal, to provide reporting and content to be distributed over multiple platforms.
"This is about reaching for the edge of the future in journalism, which we know is undergoing an irrevocable transition," Curry said in the statement. "I am excited about working to become a valuable link between traditional media and what is to come."
The New York Post was first to report Tuesday that Curry would leave the network following weeks of negotiations to end her contract, reportedly worth up to $12 million a year. The New York Daily News also confirmed she is leaving, calling it "the longest goodbye in network TV news.
