Word is that Nexstar’s News Nation is looking to hire former ABC, CNN, MSNBC and CBS News boss Rick Kaplan as their head of News Nation.

Kaplan has made the rounds at the networks, working as the former President CNN and MSNBC and EP of The CBS EVENING NEWS with Katie Couric. He also worked at ABC News and headed up election coverage for the network back in 2012.

He started Kaplan Media Partners in mid-2012 and has not been heard from much since.

But, Kaplan has an impressive resume and clearly knows TV news.

This would be a good move for Nexstar as they try and get News Nation out of the starting blocks, where they have been stuck since launching.

Stay tuned….
