NY Post:

NBC is holding back from anointing David Gregory as the new host of “Meet the Press” because “they’re furious about leaks” that tipped off the media, well-placed sources told Page Six. The infamous in-house squabbling over Tim Russert’s replacement “is at a new peak” said one tipster, with some NBC suits and talent sore over the network’s widely reported choice of Gregory – who had yet to be confirmed as of last night. An other source said the brass blame MSNBC host Chuck Todd for tipping off media blogs on Gregory’s new gig – for which Todd was a top contender – and ruining the announcement that was planned to be made this Sunday by interim “Meet the Press” host Tom Brokaw.

Matthews advised to quit MSNBC
Chris Matthews is dead serious about running for the Senate in Pennsylvania – and shopping for a house in the state and privately discussing quitting MSNBC as proof of his intense interest, according to NBC colleagues, political operatives and friends.
Even so, some NBC insiders think it’s all simply a negotiating ploy to jack up his contract.
The garrulous host of the show “Hardball with Chris Matthews” has already picked out a home in Philadelphia to establish residency in the state, according to a Democratic operative in discussions with him about a potential candidacy. Over Thanksgiving weekend, at his vacation house in Nantucket, Matthews’ family gave him their full backing.
