MSNBC cancels Joy Reid’s show as part of programming shakeup at liberal network
Alex Wagner will not return to primetime, Jen Psaki will receive more airtime as part of MSNBC overhaul
MSNBC is canceling Joy Reid’s program "The ReidOut" as part of a major network shakeup, Fox News Digital has learned.
Reid’s 7 p.m. ET program will be replaced by a show featuring Symone Sanders-Townsend, a former spokesperson to Vice President Kamala Harris, Alicia Menendez and RNC Chair turned MSNBC host Michael Steele, according to a source familiar with the plans.
Reid will host the final "ReidOut" this week.
"The ReidOut" cancelation won’t be the only change at MSNBC.
MSNBC's new president, Rebecca Kutler, is planning to announce additional programming changes across dayside, weekends and primetime, a source familiar with the plans told Fox News Digital.
Jen Psaki, current host of "Inside with Jen Psaki," is expected to end up with more airtime. Alex Wagner, who was bumped from hosting a primetime program when Rachel Maddow pivoted from hosting her show once a week to nightly for the first 100 days of the Trump administration, will remain with the network as a correspondent but is not expected to host a 9 p.m. ET program going forward.
MSNBC declined comment when reached by Fox News Digital.
"Inside with Jen Psaki" launched in 2023 and was the brainchild of Kutler. The show is MSNBC’s most-watched weekend program, so MSNBC giving more airtime to the former Biden administration press secretary has long been rumored.
Townsend, Steele and Menendez currently host "The Weekend," which was also created by Kutler and launched in January 2024. Menendez, the daughter of disgraced former Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., will be the first Latina woman to host a primetime cable news program on MSNBC, as the new show will be two hours long and spill into primetime on Mondays. It will be one hour Tuesday through Friday.
MSNBC is in talks to add Politico’s Eugene Daniels and New York University law professor Melissa Murray to potentially join the network, Fox News Digital has learned.
