Ali Gator Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Reports are coming out today that MSNBC's new president Rebecca Kutler has dropped Joy Reid's "The Reid Out" from the weeknight 7 pm slot, and Alex Wagner will not be returning to the 9 pm hour to host her show. Reid's last episode could be as early as tomorrow. Reid's show has dropped in the ratings since the Presidential election last November. The successful the trio of Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele, who host the weekend morning show 'The Weekend' will take over the 7 p.m. weekday slot Tuesday through Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter. The group on Mondays will lead two hours, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Kutler helped create “The Weekend,” the show led by Sanders-Townsend, Melendez and Steele, which has run early Saturday and Sunday mornings. In its first year on air, the program has seen audience for its time slot improve noticeably in both overall viewership and among people between 25 and 54, the demographic most preferred by advertisers in news programs. A month ago, MSNBC brought back Rachel Maddow to her former weekday 9 pm slot to cover the President's 'first 100 days', pushing Alex Wagner away from the anchor desk and into field reporting. Wagner is expected to be announced as an MSNBC 'contributor' while Jen Psaki is expected to take over at least one of the hours, according to one of these sources.

+ BOZO T CLOWN Posted February 23 Posted February 23 One would be hard-pressed to find someone more racist, more hateful, and more toxic than Reid. I don’t see how she or that sorry ass network that provided her a platform haven’t been sued out of existence for defamation. Symone Sanders and Michael Steele are almost as bad... just 2 other black, repulsive, racist, suck ups. I wonder if they'll have blonde hair by airtime??? Maybe Joy Reid and Al Sharpton can now team up and host a new TV program entitled "Racists R Us." BTC 🤡 BSR, Muckah, pubic_assistance and 1 other 2 2
Ali Gator Posted February 23 Author Posted February 23 I was always 'meh' with 'The Reid Out' - take it or leave it (if I was too lazy to click the remote, I'd keep it on in the background). Same with Chris Hayes - I'd sometimes leave it on in the background. As for Jen Psaki, not a fan of hers - wouldn't mind seeing her leave but they've invested too much money in hiring her and getting her show off the ground last year. I've been watching 'The Weekend' since it has premiered a year ago, and haven't missed an episode (I DVR the two hours each Sat and Sun). I find the show very informative and great chemistry among the three hosts. I've been saying (to other friends who watch this) since November they need to be in prime time. Smart to move them to 7 pm. Glad to see Wagner go. I could never make it to 9:20 without falling asleep. She's a complete bore. They need to get rid of Ari Melber, too, and his 'hip hop' show; that shtick is dated and he's past his likeability.

Actually Bozo has seen The View - when The Price is Right is either pre-empted or showing a rerun. And Asuncion (her REAL name) Hostin comes a close second to Joyless Reid in the race for the most vile, repulsive, racist TV host. Al Sharpton, another MSNBC bigot, would be third.

samhexum Posted February 24 Posted February 24 MSNBC’s new president continued to shake up the embattled network Monday — canceling shows hosted by Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang and Jonathan Capehart, who will all remain at the network, with the men hosting shows in new time slots. Phang, who broadcast her show from Miami, was told her program will end as the network sunsets its South Florida-based operations. She will stay on as a legal correspondent.
Ali Gator Posted February 25 Author Posted February 25 Ayman Mohyeldin is one of the sexiest guys on the network. He will be one of three cohosts anchoring 'The Weekend Evening' edition on Saturday and Sunday nights, according to reports. Capehart supposedly has been tapped as one of the new trio of cohosts anchoring the morning edition of 'The Weekend' once Sanders-Townsend, Steele, and Menendez move to 7 pm. There's a rumor that Eugene Daniels might be the second of the three cohosts.

BSR Posted March 2 Posted March 2 I just don’t get the salaries that these “stars” rake in. Post-pay cut, Maddow still makes $25 million/year. She’s back to 5 nights a week but will return to just Monday nights after April 30. $25 million, 1 night a week … with her ratings?! Anderson Cooper makes between $12-20 million … again, have you seen his ratings?! Even if they bring prestige to the brand, even if they prop up the rest of lineup, there is no business model on earth in which such exorbitant salaries for such ratings-deficient “stars” makes any sense. thomas, pubic_assistance, + augustus and 2 others 1 4

Why didn’t I Google it in the first place? Fox News made $3.56 billion in 2024. I couldn’t find the exact percentage, but apparently they make more in cable fees (every channel charges a fee to the cable company, which is then passed on to the consumer in the form of that whopper monthly cable bill) than in ad revenue. Wow, so I guess they can pay such exorbitant salaries. That said, I wouldn’t pay Sean Hannity 45 cents, forget $45 million. The guy is annoying as f*ck and dumb as a post. Watching him kiss his guests’ anuses is ultra-cringe. Edited March 4 by BSR Typo + sync, mike carey and + Travis69 3

Here's the business model you and others are searching for... By any chance, are you familiar with the NFL, MLB and NBA ? Have you heard about 'star athletes' who sign contracts for million$ of dollars (often more than what these political commentators are making) with various teams, play one - maybe two - games, get injured during the game and sit out the rest of the season...and still get paid their million$ ? And their 'season' is about 5-6 months. Nice work if you can get it. Who pays for this ? The poor families across the country who ended up paying thousands of dollars in tickets (not to mention hot dogs, drinks, and ice cream) for a Sunday football game, baseball game or basketball game.
