September 13, 2018

Anchor Lester Holt will host NBC Nightly News from Montgomery on his nation-wide “Across America” tour, NBC announced Wednesday.

Sometime during the week of October 8, Holt will do the show in Alabama’s capital city as part of a swing covering five states over five days. In addition to Montgomery, he will visit Houston, Texas; Kansas City, Missouri; San Diego, California and Tampa, Florida.

“Spread across five states in five days, Holt drills down on the issues that impact Americans in their hometowns and highlights those working to strengthen their communities and inspire others. ‘Across America’ engages in conversations beyond the breaking news from Washington to zero-in on the challenges facing Americans just weeks before many head to the voting booth,” NBC News said in a statement.

Alabama’s general election, and national midterms, will be held on November 6.
