NBC News anchor Brian Williams has been suspended for six months without pay, media reports say, citing a company memo.
Williams had repeated a tale of being aboard a military helicopter that was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade in Iraq a decade ago.
He admitted last week that the story was inaccurate.
Several soldiers complained and it turned out he had not been in the actual helicopter that was hit.
Williams later apologized.
He is the managing editor and the anchor of the network’s flagship newscast.
