Steve Kornacki Leaves MSNBC to Expand Role at NBC News and NBC Sports

Kornacki's departure coincides with MSNBC's restructuring as it transitions to an independent entity under Comcast's spinoff plan.

Steve Kornacki has signed a new deal with NBC, becoming chief data analyst for NBC News and NBC Sports while ending his tenure at MSNBC.
Kornacki will contribute to NBC programs like 'Meet the Press,' 'Today,' and 'NBC Nightly News,' as well as NBC Sports coverage of events such as the NFL, Olympics, and Kentucky Derby.
His new contract allows him to pursue non-political and non-sports projects outside NBC, expanding his opportunities beyond the network.
MSNBC is undergoing significant changes, including hiring over 100 journalists and revamping its programming lineup, as it prepares to operate independently from NBC News.
Kornacki's exit marks a notable loss for MSNBC, where he became a prominent figure during election coverage, particularly gaining fame during the 2020 presidential election.
