As previously reported, Erica Hill has officially joined Weekend Today as co-anchor, NBC News announced Thursday.

She will debut with the weekend anchor team of Lester Holt, Jenna Wolfe and Dylan Dreyer starting Nov. 3. Wolfe, who had been co-host of the Sunday edition, will now be news anchor of both weekend shows.

"Erica's extraordinary track record as a journalist has proven that she can cover everything from hard news to pop culture with ease and professionalism," said NBC News president Steve Capus. "She's a fantastic addition to Weekend Today and I'm delighted to welcome her to NBC News."

Hill will also be a national correspondent for NBC News. Most recently she was co-host of CBS This Morning until Norah O'Donnell replaced her in July.
