NBC News president Deborah Turness has been named the first president of NBC News International as NBC takes an ownership stake in Euronews, which will be renamed Euronews NBC, NBC News chairman Andrew Lack announced this morning. Noah Oppenhiem, the executive in charge of Today , has been upped to NBC News president. Oppenheim will continue to oversee Today , which last year returned to the top spot in the ratings in the news demo, though the flagship franchise has been more in the news of late for the comings and goings of Billy Bush , Megyn Kelly and Tamron Hall . In his memo to staff, Lack noted that Euronews was founded more than two decades back to cover world news from a European perspective. Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris is its controlling shareholder, with a more than 50% stake. NBC, which had been in talks about a strategic partnership on the operation since November, has taken a 25% stake.

Tamron Hall has left NBC News , after becoming the most high-profile flotsam and jetsam of the division’s hire of Megyn Kelly — who is getting, among other things, the third hour of Today that Hall co-hosted. It was the Hall talks that led NBC News to inform Today staff of its Kelly-related 9 AM shakeup. Hall had to be told last week, because her contract was coming up and her reps were in talks with the news division. Last week, a source reported that the news division hoped she would stick around, continuing to appear on Today ‘s mothership 7-9 AM show and hosting MSNBC Live with Tamron Hall. Though Hall has exited, Al Roker will continue to host at 9 AM until Kelly joins the lineup in the fall.
