Reid's final show will air this week.
Long-standing progressive Joy Reid has been anchoring her 7 pm show The ReidOut since 2020 but after a major shake-up at the network, led by new network president Rebecca Kutler, her tenure at the network comes to a close this week. Reid's final show will air this week.
After that, the 7 pm hour will feature a panel show helmed by former Democrat strategist Symone Sandrers Townsend, Alicia Mendez, and former RNC chair Michael Steele. Steele has emerged as a critic of both President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. MSNBC's ratings are a major factor in Kutler's changes. The network, while doing better than CNN, has been falling well-short of Fox News, per The New York Times.
"MSNBC has been working to bring viewers back after the results of the 2024 presidential election," Variety notes. "Both MSNBC and CNN saw significant erosion following Donald Trump’s return to the White House and the national conversation, and both have unveiled programing shake-ups in recent weeks."
Removing Joy Reid isn't the only change being made by Kutler. Rachel Maddow, who peddles progressive outrage similar to Reid's, is only scheduled to host her show five nights per week until the end of Trump's 100 days in office. After that, her spot was set to be filled by Alex Wagner. Now, Kutler is planning to put another host in that spot and is leaning toward former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who has been on MSNBC since turning over the reins to Karine Jean-Pierre.
All of this comes as MSNBC has been spun off from NBCUniversal under Comcast. Kutler was brought into lead the network in February. Kutler Variety reports, is also seeking changes to the daytime lineup. Per Variety, she's looking for "new Washington correspondents and a Washington bureau chief," and is looking at "the possibility of hiring journalists from outlets such as The Washington Post and Politico; bringing in names from other networks; and elevating current MSNBC contributors to anchor roles."

Yeah, ratings are not going to improve….many dems have totally checked out.
There is no outrage this time around. Many, like myself, are actively cheering on the calamity.

I'm happy to say Joy Reid could walk in front of me and stare at me for 60 seconds and I'd have no idea who she is. It's great to not be triggered by tv hosts unlike OP and his ilk.
Not sure what this is or means, but I see a MSNBC mention and it seems like every time I see you fellas mentioning them you spew hate and disdain. Curious why you guys watch this stuff if you hate it so much.
Speaking of trash, when will we cancel trump and musk and the whole maganazi movement.
To a network chief it doesn’t matter what your political leanings are - it matters that your audience has fallen off by half in a short period of time. The new CEO at the network has to do a read and react and that’s what happened. MSNBC ratings are abysmal and it seems there is an overdue effort to turn that around.
I like Nicole Wallace. I don’t watch her show daily but it is the only MSNBC show that I care to see.
It’s not very different from those who are quoting everything on Fox while saying how much they hate it and how stupid Fox viewers are.
The ratings have declined because so many Americans like myself have turned off the news since the felon won. This isn't what you think it is, MAGA clowns
Internettin can be difficult at times.
He's running so fast from his dumbass Caitlin Clark thread I can only assume he tripped over his own feet.
Well, when she calls you a white supremacist maybe then you will recognize her. She’s the black lady on tv telling everyone that they are racists.
Meh, who cares. Sticks and stones.
Fwiw i think msnbc has a big problem with getting both sides of view. Seems like a left circle jerk . They are unwatchable for the most part.
As an example fox five - both harold ford jr and jessica tarlov (sp) are fantastic for being rational. The dems would be smart to get ford jr higher up the dnc food chain.
Scott jennings on cnn does a good job also being the minority voice.
It's a big deal to @KFsdisciple because he doesn't like to be called a white supremacist. He won't call them out or stand up against them and they are on the same political side as him, working together toward a common goal. But he isn't one. He just wants us to know that.
No, dudes don’t get to nail KFsdisciple, that’s a Huey thing, and maybe you get down like that. NTTAWWT
I enjoy that you think this is witty.
Between you and the other guy posting about Arnold Palmer’s putter all morning, it’s been a full day of sticks and stones
Us non-believers have to find something to do on Sunday mornings. Riling up the simps is as good as any.
So do you believe what you’re saying or are you just trolling for entertainment on a Sunday morning? I can appreciate both, I have done both.
HORT is pure entertainment. There are no serious people or perspectives on here any more.
I hear that. It seems cyclical at times, it only takes one person to derail a thread and I think we hit 100% compliance.
I wish more Republicans, who agreed with her 99% of the time before Trump would watch that 2 hours everyday. She has multiple Republican guests who didn’t bend the knee. People might actually learn something instead of watching Fox.
You guys are way too hung up on Fox News… sure it beats all the other cable news combined in ratings but it’s not hard to be better than 10 people. FN gets about 3 million viewers a day, less than 5% of the people who voted for Trump.
