NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas serves as the daily audio edition of the flagship evening news broadcast from NBC News. This podcast provides a full audio recording of each evening's television program, delivering reports and analysis on major national and international events. Since June 2025, the broadcast has been anchored by Tom Llamas, who succeeded Lester Holt as the show’s anchor and managing editor. Llamas, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, is the first Latino to lead a major American nightly news broadcast and also continues to host Top Story on the streaming service NBC News NOW.
The program focuses on a wide range of topics, including United States politics, global diplomacy, economic shifts, and breaking news in public health and science. Each episode is updated every weekday evening, offering listeners a consistent source of fact-based reporting. The show draws upon the extensive global network of NBC News correspondents and bureaus to provide on-the-ground perspectives from across the world. While the program is produced at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City, it maintains a significant international audience through digital distribution on the NBC News website and major audio platforms.
The podcast format is designed for audiences who prefer to consume the news in a mobile-friendly, audio-only environment. It retains the standard 30-minute structure of the original television broadcast, including investigative segments and human-interest features. Although primarily a United States-based production, the show covers global developments with a broad perspective, making it a frequent entry on news charts in various international markets, including Singapore. In addition to the nightly episodes, the feed occasionally features special reports and highlights from the "Nightly News: Kids Edition." Further information, including video clips and supplementary articles, is available at the official program website, NBCNightlyNews.com.
