Patricia Fili-Krushel is negotiating a package to leave her NBC Universal News Group chairman post.
"We couldn't come up with a position that made sense for what I'm interested in doing, so we said maybe it's time we part ways," she told New York's Gabriel Sherman.
Fili-Krushel, who once helmed NBC Nightly News, took heat from the Brian Williams suspension story and the drop in ratings. Williams is slated to return to MSBC following his six-month slap.
Her lack of broadcast news experience has generated criticism.
In March, Fili-Krushel was "promoted" to the corporate post.
Prior to joining NBC, Fili-Krushel was president of the ABC TV Network and executive VP- administration at Time Warner.
