Geoff Bennett moves from MSNBC and NBC News to PBS Newshour. Also mentioned here is that WETA-TV Washington D.C.'s PBS affiliate will take over the weekend editions of PBS Newshour.

The public broadcaster’s signature evening news program has hired Geoff Bennett to serve as its chief Washington correspondent and the anchor of NewsHour‘s weekend edition.

Bennett joins NewsHour from NBC News, where he was a White House correspondent and MSNBC fill-in anchor. He will continue to appear on NBC and MSNBC as a contributor.

In addition to the hiring of Bennett, NewsHour‘s weekend edition will relocate from New York, where it has been produced by WNET since it launched in 2013, to Washington, D.C., where it will be produced by WETA. The Washington PBS station already produced the weekday version of the program, anchored by Judy Woodruff.

Hari Sreenivasan, who has been anchoring weekends, is apparently staying with the NewsHour. Not clear how his role changes.
