Jackson, a Pennsbury High School graduate, will sign off for the last time on Feb. 13 when anchor Katy Tur takes over the slot, the Post wrote.

But it's not curtains for Jackson, who previously reported for WBOC in greater Dover, Delaware. The Johns Hopkins University alumnus will soon take an "expanded headline gig" on NBC News Now, the broadcaster's streaming service, the outlet says.

Her new show, "Hallie Jackson NOW," is presently slated for a 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. time slot, per the report.

In a memo to employees, an NBC News executive called the move "a natural extension for Hallie," as she "expands her role more broadly" at the network.
