Meredith Vieira is officially exiting The Today Show according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The article says Vieira will leave the show in June, about three months before her contract expires.
Ann Curry will be promoted to co-host and correspondent Natalie Morales will take Curry's place as newsreader.
Vieira joined co-host Matt Lauer in 2006 to replace Katie Couric when she departed the show for the CBS Evening News.
There had been some speculation that Couric, who is now leaving the CBS Evening News as her contract ends, would come back to the show. But Couric said she has plans to start her own multi-platform program.
More on the reasons behind Vieira's departure after the jump.
