Evening newscasts dispatch anchors to Texas

NBC News sent “NBC Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt and also dedicated most of its teases to the story. The broadcast used the “Texas Church Massacre” banner — which was notably different than the network’s morning show’s “Texas Church Shooting” moniker.

The teases themselves used the network’s normal format, but a specially designed bug was used briefly after the open, which did not include any reference to it being a special edition.
