Ann Curry is leaving NBC News to become founder of a media startup. Curry had been “anchor-at-large” at Today after her messy exit from the morning show in 2012, making occasional appearances on NBC News shows while under contract with the net. Now, “I want to expand my drive to give voice to the voiceless to emerging platforms and produce both scripted and non-scripted content, in addition to continuing to report on-air about stories that matter,” said Curry. But even though she’s leaving NBC the cord isn’t entirely cut – NBCUniversal is an investor in the new project. “We’re proud to support Ann in her new venture, and we look forward to more of her exceptional storytelling,” said NBCUniversal News Group chairman Pat Fili-Krushel on Tuesday.

IN THE NEWS

Nurse Jackie exec producer Clyde Phillips told reporters at TCA that the series, launching its seventh and final season on Sunday, April 12 at 9p, will end in “a graceful and authentic way.” One plan, since scrapped, had been to have All Saints Hospital burn to the ground. So, no happy ending? “I’m a believer in authentic endings,” said Phillips, “and I think the end is as authentic as can be and will be really satisfying to viewers.”

Woody Allen is turning to the small screen with half-hour The Untitled Woody Allen Project. Series has a full season order from Amazon to air exclusively on Prime Instant Video next year, with episodes written and directed by Allen. “I don’t know how I got into this,” said the filmmaker. “I have no ideas and I’m not sure where to begin.”

Derek Hough is bowing out of Dancing With the Stars’ upcoming 20th season to join Radio City Music Hall’s “New York Spring Spectacular” for its seven-week run in March, opposite Nashville’s Laura Benanti. Hough will return the ABC competition for season 21.

VICE Media editors will make a two-hour presentation on opening day, and Format Day, featuring  a presentation of adaptable dramas with international appeal, followed by a discussion of unscripted format and a pitching competition for independent international producers, takes place February 26.

Universal Cable and Blumhouse Productions struck a multi-year production agreement focused on creating scripted and non-scripted programming leveraging a “micro-budget” model.
