Overview

• Jonathan Capehart and Eugene Daniels will be the first two out gay Black men to co-anchor a major network news program, joined by Jackie Alemany as co-hosts of MSNBC's 'The Weekend.'
• 'The Weekend' will air six hours across Saturdays and Sundays, offering expanded political and accountability journalism coverage.
• This programming shift follows MSNBC's split from NBC News, as the network builds an independent Washington bureau and strengthens its political reporting.
• The previous weekend anchors, Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez, will transition to a new 7 p.m. weeknight primetime slot, replacing Joy Reid, who is leaving the network.
• Eugene Daniels, also serving as the current president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, joins the anchor desk as part of MSNBC's commitment to diverse leadership and mentorship.
