When NBC first launched Rock Center with Brian Williams they promised that they would give the show a three year commitment. ​

Less than two years after the show launched, NBC has already given up on the show.​

NBC insiders tell FTVLive that the network will be naming Deborah Turness as the  new News President next week and they wanted to ​pull the plug on the show before she took over.

"They didn't want to make it look like she canceled the show just after taking over as President," said one NBC insider to FTVLive. 

NBC never had any patience with the one hour news magazine show. They continued to move it around the schedule and never gave it a chance to ​pick up an audience. 

It was a huge mistake that hopefully the new boss won't be making. ​
