It’s musical-chairs time in network news.

Martin Bashir, who’s been one of the three co-anchors of ABC’s ‘Nightline’ for the past five years, has announced he’s leaving the show and the network to take a job at NBC and MSNBC. Replacing him alongside ‘Nightline’s’ Terry Moran and Cynthia McFadden will be Bill Weir, the weekend co-anchor of ABC’s ‘Good Morning America.’

Bashir’s new gig, starting in September, will see him anchoring an afternoon broadcast at MSNBC. He’ll also be a contributor to the parent network’s ‘Dateline NBC.’ In this, he’s following in the footsteps of Kate Snow, who left ABC News in May for a ‘Dateline’ correspondent job.
