Rebecca Kutler Named Interim President of MSNBC as Rashida Jones Steps Down

Rashida Jones departs after four years leading MSNBC, with Rebecca Kutler stepping in to guide the network during a critical transition period.

Rashida Jones announced her decision to leave MSNBC after a four-year tenure marked by record viewership and digital expansion initiatives.
Rebecca Kutler, senior vice president of content strategy at MSNBC, has been appointed interim president effective immediately.
The leadership change occurs as MSNBC prepares for its transition into SpinCo, a new publicly traded entity formed by Comcast's cable network spinoff.
Kutler brings extensive experience from her time at MSNBC and CNN, where she oversaw programming, talent development, and digital platforms.
Jones will remain with MSNBC through March to assist with the leadership transition and ensure continuity during this pivotal moment for the network.
