NBC is reportedly in talks to keep Brian Williams, but maybe not as anchor of "Nightly News."

According to a new report from CNN Money, a series of negotiations are taking place between Williams and NBC. The report says Williams may "lose his seat as anchor of the 'NBC Nightly News,' but executives are looking for a way to keep him at the network in a new role."

It goes on to say NBC News chairman Andy Lack has backed the idea of keeping Williams, and has asked employees to "think creatively" in terms for a place for the former "Nightly News" anchor.
