    COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Before Tom Llamas took over as anchor of NBC Nightly News, he took a visit to NBC4. Llamas made Columbus one of several stops in the weeks after he was announced to replace Lester Holt, who stepped down Friday after nearly 10 years to focus on his role with Dateline. That leaves Llamas the face of a program that viewers have trusted across six decades.
