Shriver back on ‘Dateline’ this week

NBC News has put a date on Maria Shriver’s return to the airwaves following her unpaid leave while her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was running for governor and taking office.

The “Dateline� correspondent hasn’t had time yet to report any new stories since her return to work last week, but on Friday and possibly Sunday, she’ll be co-anchoring the prime-time newsmagazine from the West Coast, introducing stories.

NBC said there is no word on when Shriver’s first reported piece will air.
