MSNBC is undergoing significant changes with a lineup overhaul, including Joy Reid’s show being dropped from the network’s lineup. The network is set to introduce a new show featuring The Weekend anchors Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez in the 7 p.m. ET slot.
Reid, who has anchored The ReidOut since 2020, will be departing from the network this week. Other changes include plans for the 9 p.m. ET slot once Rachel Maddow moves to a once-a-week schedule. It is expected that anchor Alex Wagner will not return, and Jen Psaki is being considered to take on anchor duties during that time period.
These changes come under new MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler, who is looking to maintain a diverse and progressive roster of primetime anchors. The network is also looking at adding new talent to the lineup, including Politico’s Eugene Daniels and New York University’s Melissa Murray.
Overall, these changes signal MSNBC’s commitment to presenting a dynamic and engaging lineup as they prepare for Comcast’s spinoff of the cable channel later this year. Stay tuned for more updates on MSNBC’s evolving programming schedule.
