MSNBC cancels Joy Reid’s evening show as part of a major programming shakeup.
Joy Reid will host her final evening news show with MSNBC this week as part of a slate of programming changes by Rebecca Kutler, the network’s new president, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
According to sources, Kutler plans to replace “The ReidOut,” which has aired at 7 p.m. ET since 2020, with co-hosts from “The Weekend” — Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez.
“The Weekend,” a two-hour show airing on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 8 a.m. ET, improved total viewership during its time slot by 35%.
Before “TheReidOut,” Reid hosted the MSNBC weekend talk show “AM Joy” from 2016 to 2020.
Despite the change in programming, MSNBC is maintaining its progressive roots with President Donald Trump back in office. Since his inauguration, MSNBC’s viewership has been up 77% during primetime hours and 34% in total day viewers.
A source told CNN that Kutler is expected to announce additional programming changes to multiple MSNBC shows.
A network spokesperson declined to comment.
