MSNBC Announces Major Primetime Lineup Changes and Expansion Plans

The network will reconfigure its evening schedule, elevate Jen Psaki and 'The Weekend' trio, and build new independent newsgathering operations ahead of its split from NBC News.

Joy Reid and Alex Wagner will exit their current primetime slots, with Reid's final show airing this week and Wagner expected to transition to a contributor role.
Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, and Michael Steele, hosts of 'The Weekend,' are expected to take over the 7 p.m. weekday slot Tuesday through Friday, with a two-hour block on Mondays.
Jen Psaki, former Biden White House press secretary and current Sunday and Monday anchor, is projected to expand her presence in MSNBC's primetime lineup.
Rebecca Kutler, MSNBC's new president, is spearheading efforts to establish an independent Washington bureau and hire new domestic and international correspondents as the network prepares to separate from NBC News.
MSNBC faces challenges with declining viewership and subscriber losses but has seen a recent uptick in audience numbers following programming changes and the return of Rachel Maddow to a five-night hosting schedule during Trump's presidency.
