MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid's Show

... Alicia Menendez ...

I've seen her when she substituted for others on MSNBC.

She was good, sometimes better than the host she was substituting for.

From the cited article...

... Jen Psaki is expected to take over at least one of the hours ...

My opinion is still out regarding her.

On occasion, her segment is excellent. But she tends too much towards politics for my taste.

Michael Steele's commentaries on shows have been informative, but it remains to be seen how well he will do with an hour to fill ...

Then there is gracieamazed's mention of an article on the Back Page ( drudge.com ) that notes ...

... Stephanie Ruhle -- to take pay cuts to stay on-air. ...

Yeah, I can see that. Ever since Ms Rule took over that show from Brian Williams, it has been a downhill excursion.

Good to see MSNBC doing some housecleaning.

@#31 ... Most of America now watches Fox News. ...

yeah.

And most of America listens to pop music.

But I don't

I prefer an adult alternative station.

... Fox News is riding the Donald Trump wave as its coverage of the presidential transition and the first few weeks of his second term powered the network to its highest-rated January ever.

For that matter, all three networks are seeing positive growth among total viewers and the Adults 25-54 demo during primetime and total day for the the first month of 2025. CNN enjoyed the largest spike of the trio with triple-digit gains in the primetime demo.

Still, Trump's return to the Oval Office has largely kept viewers glued to Fox News. The network grew its audience by +40% year-over-year in total viewership and +61% in the demo.

But MSNBC must be feeling some sense of relief as viewers return to a network that's in the midst of leadership and corporate change. There was a significant increase in viewership in both dayparts, which can be credited to the return of Rachel Maddow, who is back to hosting her show five nights a week during Trump's first 100 days.

CNN is also feeling good about its January numbers, which were boosted by its coverage of the Los Angeles wildfires. But those gains also occurred against the backdrop of company-wide layoffs, a reworked daytime lineup, and the surprise exit of anchor Jim Acosta. ...
