The MSNBC network is undergoing significant changes in its programming lineup, with the cancellation of Joy Reid’s show “The ReidOut” and the announcement of new anchors to fill the time slot. Rebecca Kutler, the new president of MSNBC, revealed the programming shakeup, thanking Reid for her contributions over the years.
Starting soon, the 7 p.m. EST hour previously occupied by Reid will feature rotating anchors, including Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez. Sanders-Townsend, a former adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris, Steele, a former chair of the Republican National Committee, and Menendez, the current host of “The Weekend,” will take over the weekday time slot.
In addition to Reid’s departure, other adjustments include the return of Rachel Maddow to a five-night hosting schedule and the arrival of Jen Psaki to fill Alex Wagner’s time slot. Kutler also announced a new trio of hosts for morning and evening editions of “The Weekend,” with Jonathan Capehart and Ayman Mohyeldin joining the lineup.
These changes mark the first major shakeup at MSNBC under Kutler’s leadership, following the network’s transition to a standalone company. Despite the evolving landscape of cable news networks and recent declines in viewership, MSNBC is forging ahead with a fresh lineup of anchors and shows to engage its audience in the ever-changing media landscape. Stay tuned for more updates on MSNBC’s programming changes and the impact on the cable news industry.
