MSNBC is reportedly making significant changes to its lineup, with Joy Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” facing cancellation. The New York Times reported that Reid’s show, which airs on weekdays at 7 p.m. Eastern, will be replaced by a panel featuring Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez. Additionally, Alex Wagner’s show is also on the brink of being axed, with Jen Psaki slated as her replacement.
The decision to shake up the programming comes amid a backdrop of declining ratings for MSNBC. According to The Wall Street Journal, the network saw a 53% drop in viewership following Kamala Harris’ defeat in the 2024 election. This has prompted MSNBC to consider spinning off several of its channels, including CNBC, USA, E!, Oxygen, and SyFy.
Joy Reid has been a controversial figure, often using her platform to launch attacks on conservatives. In November, she criticized “white women” for not supporting Kamala Harris. Reid argued that the lack of support from this demographic was a significant factor in Harris’ electoral performance.
Reid’s rhetoric has not been limited to election outcomes. She has been known to host guests like Stacey Abrams, who controversially labeled Vice President J.D. Vance a “DEI graduate” on Reid’s show. This incident highlighted Reid’s willingness to entertain divisive narratives on her platform.
MSNBC has frequently been criticized for its coverage of the Trump administration. The network consistently promoted allegations of collusion between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia, often featuring figures like Adam Schiff. The Steele Dossier, which was central to these claims, was later discredited.
Despite the controversies, Reid has maintained her position at MSNBC since 2016 and has been hosting in the 7 p.m. slot since 2020. Her potential departure marks a significant shift for MSNBC, as the network attempts to navigate changing viewer preferences. The decision to replace Reid and Wagner with new hosts suggests a strategic pivot for MSNBC.
Fox News and the New York Post have also reported on MSNBC’s struggles in maintaining its audience. These outlets have highlighted the network’s challenges in adapting to a post-Trump media landscape. The focus on reshuffling hosts reflects MSNBC’s efforts to rejuvenate its programming.
The move to bring in hosts like Jen Psaki signals MSNBC’s intent to revamp its approach. Psaki, known for her tenure as White House press secretary, brings a different perspective to the network. This could potentially attract a broader audience base.
MSNBC’s decision to shake up its lineup may not be entirely surprising to conservative commentators. Many have long criticized the network for its perceived bias and lack of diverse viewpoints. The inclusion of new hosts could be seen as an attempt to address these criticisms.
While MSNBC faces challenges, it remains a significant player in the media landscape. Its ability to adapt to changing viewer demands will be crucial in determining its future success. The upcoming changes will be closely watched by industry observers and viewers alike.
Reid’s departure, if confirmed, would mark the end of a notable era for MSNBC. Her show has been a staple of the network’s primetime lineup. The impact of her absence on the network’s ratings remains to be seen.
Conservatives may view Reid’s potential exit as a positive development. Her outspoken criticism of right-leaning figures has often stirred controversy. The shift in hosts could lead to a less divisive tone in MSNBC’s programming.
The changes at MSNBC are indicative of broader trends within the media industry. Networks are increasingly under pressure to adapt to evolving viewer preferences. The success of these adaptations will be crucial for their continued relevance.
MSNBC’s decision to bring in new hosts comes at a pivotal time for the network. The media landscape is rapidly changing, and networks must be agile to stay competitive. The outcomes of these changes will be closely monitored.
As MSNBC undergoes these transformations, the network’s direction will be scrutinized. The decisions made now could have lasting impacts on its reputation. Observers will be keen to see how these changes play out in the coming months.
Not that I would ever give a shit what happens with NBC or MSNBC which have been in the toilet as far as I’m concerned going back nearly 2 decades ago; but, what a good thing to see this ugly as sin, wicked, divisive, and race-baiting scum “get the boot into oblivion” I truly hope!
She is so “rotten to her core” how is it she had to have the name Joy, which she is absolutely the “living antithesis” of and worse!
“Let the door hit you in the head and ass,” on the way out witch, God knows you deserve it!
Amen! Another terminally ignorant 13%er down the drain!
Her type can’t go fast enough!

All they are doing is replacing liberals with different liberals, can’t see it making any difference.
This is why I have baited breath and said “get the boot into oblivion” I truly hope!
I can only hope that something totally transformative say like a near death wake-up call might happen to certain powerful puppeteers behind the scene, who are really the ones causing all the mayhem to begin with!
Any real chance of appropriate change is slim to none!
Reid voted for TRUMP
No, she didn’t! Does your nose grow each time you post lies?
I know it is a laugh isn’t it!
no way …
Ya know it doesn’t matter what she really did because she sold her soul a long while back peddling the deception and divisiveness she was all about! Ya know what she is really all about it the $Big Bucks$ she could grab!
1 Timothy 6:9-11 “Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows. 11But you, O man of God, flee from these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness.”
its not the first time they said they were canceling her show
so we will have 4 loud mouths instead of one.
I hope it really is true and happens that that shit show the View is done for!
Celebration!!!!! Joy-less Reid, the race baiting, propaganda spewing tool of the Marxist-Dem party has finally been shut down! This horrible evil wicked human being should have never been allowed to preach all of her rot on a so called news network to begin with!
Terry Earl point on! So called news networks, which they hardly had been in decades but now just trash bins full of slimy liars!
bravo … hear hear .. no joy Reid is gone ..
So will yet another like minded loser just take her place?
Maybe Terry Earl, but it doesn’t matter by now because so much of the viewing public has at least gotten a clue about what these mish-mash mills are all about and won’t give a rat’s ass who they try to promote as some news jerk to watch now!
I used to work around TV News tears ago before it got this F’d up and I couldn’t stand the phony slithering goings on back then and had to check out stage left; so how anybody can want to be around it working in or digesting it on the TV daily is beyond me!
Such unconscionable soulless horrible people infest it!
Replacing Reid is just substituting a new mouth and voice who parses the same outlook. How about a good dose of honesty for once????
Another black turd flushed down the toilet. Going home to the cesspool.
MSNBC views falling no matter whose they fire or hire :]:]:]
Wow, all six of her viewers must really be upset. Im sure all six of them expected this to happen. they knew she was a loser since they are all family members.
Finally, the biggest Racist, no talent ever on TV. Good riddance.
There is a god.
