Matt Lauer will co-anchor Thursday’s “Today” show for NBC from the scene. Norah O’Donnell also headed west from Washington to handle the story for her program “CBS This Morning.” O’Donnell was interviewing President Obama at the time the story was breaking and elicited his first comments on the massacre.

Amy Robach, news anchor for “Good Morning America,” traveled to San Bernardino on Wednesday night to report for the ABC News program on Thursday. CNN’s “New Day” co-anchor Chris Cuomo will broadcast on site as well.

Fox News, CNN and MSNBC were live throughout prime time with coverage of the investigation into the shooting and planned to stay with the story all night.

Two broadcast network evening news anchors -- NBC’s Lester Holt and ABC’s David Muir -- are also on their way to San Bernardino where they will present their Thursday newscasts.

Holt anchored a special continuous NBC News feed made available to affiliates around the country Wednesday night. NBC’s Los Angeles station, KNBC-TV Channel 4, broke away from its local coverage to carry Holt’s reports at 7 p.m. Pacific. “CBS Evening News” anchor Scott Pelley also handled ongoing coverage for his network’s affiliates through the evening hours.
