MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell will end her 17-year run as a full-time anchor and host of her eponymous daily show on Friday, according to the New York Post.
Mitchell announced in late October that she would leave "Andrea Mitchell Reports" after the presidential inauguration but would continue to report as an NBC News correspondent.
"After 16 years of being in the anchor chair every day, I want time to do more of what I love the most: connecting, listening, and reporting in the field," Mitchell, 78, told viewers at the time.
"Whoever is elected next week will face the monumental task of handling two foreign wars and the political divisions here at home," she added.
According to the Post, the veteran broadcast journalist will remain NBC's chief Washington and foreign affairs correspondent.
Launched in 2008, "Andrea Mitchell Reports" was the longest-running show in MSNBC's daytime lineup. Mitchell's departure marks the end of an era at MSNBC, and the network has not yet announced what will fill the program's time slot.
Mitchell's extensive career at NBC News has spanned more than 50 years. During her time at the network, she has reported on global events and every U.S. presidential campaign since 1980.
In a memo obtained by the Post, NBC executives hailed Mitchell as "one of the country's foremost and most trusted experts on foreign policy and domestic politics."
"Her deep sourcing and ability to land the biggest-name news-making interviews are unmatched," the network said in a statement, adding that "we are so pleased that she will remain an essential part of the News Group for years to come."
There have been several staff exits that have shaken things up at NBC News and sister channel MSNBC in recent weeks.
Chuck Todd, the former moderator of "Meet the Press," left NBC News on Friday after nearly 20 years.
"There's never a perfect time to leave a place that's been a professional home for so long, but I'm pretty excited about a few new projects that are on the cusp of going from 'pie in the sky' to 'near reality,'" Todd said in a memo to employees.
In another high-profile resignation, MSNBC President Rashida Jones stepped down in mid-January after four years at the helm. Jones was the first Black woman to lead a major television news network.
Comcast announced in November that it was spinning off MSNBC and CNBC, along with most of its cable networks, into a separate company independent of NBC News.
