It looks like a member of the NBC news team is leaving the set to start her own production company.

Ann Curry will leave NBC news, after an unknown source told the New York Post that the following weeks will be the negotiations of her contract termination.

Curry became the National Correspondent/Anchor for NBC News and the Anchor at large for the Today show in June 2012. Last year, source at NBC News envisioned that Ann Curry would leave the network at the end of her contract and on Tuesday, January 13, it was announced that Ann Curry would be leaving NBC News - The network confirmed with The Huffington Post that the television personality, news journalist and photojournalist is now officially ending her run as a full-time employee.

After her painful public axing from "Today" in 2012, she still says it was "a privilege to work with so many good and talented people" at NBC over the past 16 years and intends to carry on reporting non-exclusively for the network. 

An NBC source told Page Six, "Ann has been unhappy for a long time because she's basically doing nothing, while NBC is unhappy that she has been paid a lot of money to do nothing."

Tuesday, in her press release, Ann Curry announced that she will soon become founder of a new media startup seeded by NBCUniversal. She will continue to report non-exclusively for NBC News during the initial stages of that project thus giving her the freedom to report on "any platform and on any network," as well as on "any online or 'over the top' channels."

In a statement Ann Curry said, "This is about reaching for the edge of the future in journalism, which we know is undergoing an irrevocable transition. In today's world of fragmented media, this is the time to seize the opportunity to improve the way we distribute and even tell stories," she added, "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."

In a statement Patricia Fili-Krushel, chairwoman of NBCUniversal News Group said, "We're proud to support Ann in her new venture, and we look forward to more of her exceptional storytelling. She is committed to uncovering critical issues, humanizing them, and ultimately helping viewers understand and connect."

Despite a whopping $12 million pay a year, Curry has rarely made it on the air in recent months and has filed very few reports since 2012, when NBC released her from her Today co-anchor position. Despite all the drama, Curry said that she is still "sincerely grateful to NBC News" for allowing her to offer viewers a "vast and diverse body of work."

"I look forward to what we will do ahead," concluded Curry in her statement.
