Capus Becomes NBC News President

Steve Capus is no longer “acting.” Jeff Zucker named Capus “president of NBC News, effective immediately, making him responsible for all aspects of America’s highest-rated and most-watched network News division, as well as MSNBC and NBC News Channel,” NBC said.

Capus was named acting president in September, following Neal Shapiro‘s exit.
