Is this a promotion or a demotion?

WMUR (New Hampshire) Weekend Anchor Adam Sexton has been taken off the Anchor desk and made the station's new Political Director. 

"Given the excellence he has shown in his political reporting over the years, Adam is perfectly positioned to become our next political director and to lead our Commitment 2018 coverage," WMUR News Director Alisha McDevitt said.

Sexton will continue to work with political reporter John DiStaso to serve as the station's core political coverage team. The change in title and position is effective Today. 

The station says that Sexton will no longer anchor weekend evening newscasts, so that he can focus on his new responsibilities.

So, is this a promotion? 

Ask yourself this, would you rather be Lester Holt, or Chuck Todd? 

Hmmmm?
