"NBC Nightly News" to broadcast live from Pittsburgh

The big picture: NBC News launched its "Reporting in America" campaign last month and is hitting the road this week for its first tour, starting in Cleveland on Monday.

• Its next stops are Pittsburgh on Tuesday and Houston on Wednesday, spokesperson Courtney Clawson tells Axios.

The intrigue: The show will cover some local topics.

• NBC wouldn't disclose the filming location due to security reasons, but Clawson said it will be from "a location locals will recognize."

Context: Anchor Tom Llamas took over for Lester Holt in June and has made field reporting a big part of his operation.

• Llamas broadcast from Alaska, Chicago and Texas earlier this year.

Between the lines: NBC says the field reporting campaign and Pittsburgh visit are about building back trust with American audiences through highlighting local stories and connecting with residents directly.

Zoom out: Llamas is the fourth "Nightly" anchor in 40 years and the first Latino anchor of an American nightly news broadcast.

• The show is NBC's flagship evening news program and reaches about 7 million viewers nightly, one of the most watched on TV.

Tune in at 6:30pm on NBC and Channel 11 on Tuesday.
