NBC News is eliminating the Chicago and Dallas bureaus, with some staff staying on at the O&O stations in those markets. The plan, according to an insider report to TVNewser, is to replace the bureaus with a regional hub system, which will cover larger areas of the U.S.
So now, Chicago will fall under the New York hub, Dallas under the Los Angeles hub and the Atlanta hub will be responsible for news gathering in the Southeast U.S. as well as the Caribbean and Latin America.
