NEW YORK — Brian Williams is aware of the behind-the-scenes sniping about his succeeding Tom Brokaw on NBC Nightly News, a historic network changing of the guard that will occur Dec. 2.
Williams reported — presciently in light of President Bush's re-election — that Cabela's customers were a force to be reckoned with: God-fearing conservatives who like guns, fishing and the outdoors, and that in 2000, "six in 10 gun owners voted for President Bush."
On air, Williams' delivery can be a bit formal, which Williams attributes to "a couple of years of Catholic schooling." He's on his best behavior, he says, as if he were a guest for the first time in someone's home.

Speculation had swirled that the 62-year-old anchor was planning to vacate his seat, but Brokaw said he has been energized by coverage of the Sept. 11 attacks and their aftermath.
Williams came to NBC in 1993 from WCBS-TV in New York, and in recent years became Brokaw's heir apparent.

 An Anchor by Evening, a Blogger Any Time - New York Times
Williams is careful not to traffic in gossip or observations that might breach his journalistic objectivity on matters like the course of the war in Iraq, his dispatches for what is known as "The Daily Nightly" (on nightly.msnbc.com) are striking in two main respects.
Williams has been attempting since his blog went up, with little fanfare, on May 31: to communicate with his audience more informally, sometimes several times a day, in a voice that is effectively unfiltered.
He is Brian Stelter, whose own blog - a compendium of the daily doings in television news (tvnewser.com) - reads as if it were written by a grizzled veteran, not, as is the case, by a 19-year-old junior at Towson University in Maryland.

 NBC's Brian Williams will replace Brokaw
Williams, 43, has been looked on as a potential successor since he came to NBC in 1993 from WCBS-TV, the New York City CBS affiliate.
In the first hour of primetime, "The News," which averaged 375,000 viewers in the first three months of 2002, was getting clobbered by "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News, which averaged 2 million viewers.
Rather, 70, is reportedly close to a new deal with the network that will keep him on through 2006, although it's unlikely he’ll continue to anchor "Evening News" for all that time.

 Brent H. Baker on Brian Williams & Media Bias on National Review Online
But who anchors them remains relevant for two reasons: First, the anchor is the face of the network during special coverage when millions tune in, such as on Election Night or a Sept. 11th.
Any hope, however, that the next generation of network-news anchors might nudge the evening newscasts away from the liberalism which is driving viewers to cable was dashed, at least by NBC, when the network announced that Brian Williams will slide into the NBC Nightly News anchor seat after the 2004 election.
Williams, now anchor of a nightly newscast shown on both MSNBC and CNBC, and the primary NBC Nightly News fill-in for Tom Brokaw, is a case study in Bernard Goldberg's observation that it is the "inability to see liberal views as liberal that is at the heart" of liberal media bias.

Williams is commonly called the anchor of the future because he is the only man in TV who is being openly groomed as the successor to one of the big-three network anchors—Tom Brokaw, of No. 1-rated NBC.
Already, as the anchor of his own newscast on NBC's all-news cable channel, MSNBC, he is the only person to headline an hour-long network-based news broadcast in prime time—an assignment that most of the big names in TV news routinely describe as the impossible dream.
Williams, who can be seen at nine every weeknight, is portrayed by friends and colleagues as smart and funny, as gifted, to an uncanny degree, with the strange package of talents it takes to deliver the news, live, on the air.
