FTVLive tipped you off on March 16th that this was going to happen and Today it was made official. 

NBC announced that WCAU GM Eric Lerner will replace Michael Jack as GM of WNBC in New York. 

“Eric Lerner has done a great job revitalizing WCAU and making it a strong and very competitive station in a difficult market,” said Valari Staab, President, NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations.. “With his vision and leadership, I know Eric will continue to build on the momentum generated by Michael Jack and his team and take WNBC to the next level.”

Lerner came to WCAU from KIRO in Seattle 2 years ago. Also, don't be surprised if WCAU News Director Anzio Williams isn't be far behind in moving to the Big Apple.
