MSNBC plans evening to replace Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, replaced

MSNBC’s evening list could soon look very different from die -hard spectators.

The cable network supported by NBCuniversal is expected to bring the trio of Sime’s Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele from Tuesday to Friday at 7 p.m. at 7 p.m. The move will have a direct impact on Joy Reid, the anchor that is currently filling 7 p.m. She will probably organize her last show on MSNBC this week.

In addition, it is expected that Alex Wagner, who will organize the weekdays at 9 p.m. at 9 p.m. for a Monday evening under the direction of Rachel Maddow, will be appointed as an integral part of the current discussions, according to three people. Wagner, who worked as a correspondent in the first 100 days of the new Trump Presidency in the USA, while Rachel Maddow is around 9 years old every day, it is unlikely that these people will return to their weekday. According to one of these people, Jen Psaki is expected to take over at least one of the hours. MSNBC is also in conversations with Eugene Daniels from Politico and Melissa Murray, a legal professor at New York University, who specializes in regulating sex, before, care and reproductive rights.

MSNBC refused to provide managers for a comment. Puck beforehand about some of the above plans.

The movements come quickly after Rebecca Kutler, a former manager at CNN, which is known for their facility for the development of new talents and program concepts, has been appointed the new president of MSNBC. It takes over the rudder of the network because it deals with unique challenges, including the pressure of working with the Trump White House and the Spunn together with other NBCU cable networks in a new listed company. “Our jobs are difficult on a normal day, and these are not normal times,” she told the employees on the day that her new role of Mark Lazarus, the NBCU manager who will lead the new spin-off, announced became.

As with other cable networks, MSNBC faces considerable business challenges. Other spectators who put on every evening to watch a few hours of comment on MSNBC hike elsewhere. MSNBC is expected to submit about 10.5% of its subscribers between the end of 2023 and the end of 2025, as is based on estimates by Kagan, a market research company that is part of S&P Global Intelligence. Rivals Fox News Channel and CNN have similar erosions during this time. MSNBC could leave an average of 61.3 million viewers compared to 68.5 million in 2023 at the end of 2025 – and this with an election year in which it usually brings the viewers back into the news between the two miles stones .

Kutler has described plans to set up an independent Newsgathering apparatus for MSNBC, which will lose its connections to NBC messages after the establishment of the new company. She wants to start a separate MSNBC Washington Bureau and add a new list of international and domestic correspondents. She also wants to hire a new talent manager, a head of the Washington Bureau and a head of the content strategy. Nevertheless, she articulated a plan to hit the progressive tendencies of the network, and did not try to steer it to the center.

MSNBC has worked to bring the viewers back after the results of the 2024 presidential election. Both MSNBC and CNN saw a significant erosion after Donald Trump’s return to the White House and the national conversation and both have presented programs with programming in the past few weeks. At the MSNBC, Rachel Maddow returned to 9:00 a.m. hour hour from Monday to Friday compared to the schedule Monday (with various special appearances), which she has enjoyed in recent years. Since the inauguration, the overall viewer of MSNBC has increased in Primetime and during the day, although the audience levels remain far below that of the Fox News Channel.

Kutler helped the foundation of “The Weekend”, the show under the direction of Sanders Townend, Melendez and Steele, which ran early on Saturday and Sunday morning. In its first year in the air, the program has noticed noticeably both in the total number of viewers and in people between the ages of 25 and 54, the demographic one who preferred advertisers in news programs. Psaki has now been a favorite of MSNBC managers since the former press spokesman for the White House of Biden took part in its Sunday list in March 2023.

Kutler may have more changes in the shop and also dealt with the MSNBC day and weekend plan. The network must also have announced a formal replacement for Andrea Mitchell, the NBC News Veteran, which has been anchored and recently anchored for decades. The employees are curious whether the daily anchors, which are connected to NBC News, will remain over a longer route at MSNBC.
