Just In: “MSNBC Cans Top Host Amid Falling Ratings, Network Shake-Up”
MSNBC liberal mainstay Joy Reid’s show has been canceled as part of a major shake-up under the network’s new president, Rebecca Kutler, according to a report.
Reid’s 7 p.m. program, long known for its sharp criticism of Trump, will be replaced by a new panel show featuring co-hosts Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, and Symone Sanders Townsend, The New York Times reported, citing network insiders.
The final episode of The ReidOut is set to air this week, marking the end of its five-year run as a staple of MSNBC’s primetime lineup, according to the report.
Additionally, Alex Wagner, who has hosted the 9 p.m. weeknight slot—except for Monday nights led by Rachel Maddow—is expected to be named a contributor, according to three sources familiar with ongoing discussions, Variety reported.
Wagner, who has been reporting from across the U.S. during the first 100 days of Trump’s new presidency while Maddow anchors the 9 p.m. hour, is unlikely to return to her weeknight hosting role, the sources indicated.
The changes represent the first significant overhaul by MSNBC’s new president since taking charge of the liberal network earlier this month, the New York Post reported.
Reid, a prominent critic of Trump in mainstream media, has been a long-serving anchor at the network. She has hosted the weekend talk show “AM Joy” since 2016 and was named anchor of the 7 p.m. slot in 2020.
She has made several viral and cruel rants in recent months, including telling Trump supporters to “make your own dinner” at Thanksgiving, saying they should “suffer the consequences of your votes.”
Kutler is implementing major changes at MSNBC in an effort to revamp the network, which has consistently lagged behind Fox News in ratings.
In December, Nielsen Media Research reported that Reid had lost nearly half of her audience since Donald Trump’s election, with MSNBC experiencing a staggering 53% drop in primetime viewership following the Nov. 5 results.
That same month, MSNBC reportedly offered significant pay cuts to some of its most high-profile anchors, including Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle, if they wished to remain in their roles.
Kutler, a former senior executive at CNN, has made it clear that MSNBC faces unique challenges as it navigates a Trump White House and prepares for its planned spinoff into a new publicly traded company alongside other NBCU cable networks, The Post added.
“Our jobs are hard on a normal day, and these are not normal times,” Kutler told MSNBC employees on her first day after her new position was announced by Mark Lazarus, the NBCU executive who is leading the spin-off, according to The Post.
A report by The Ankler, which is a Substack publication produced by media writer Lachlan Cartwright, noted the pay cuts to top MSNBC talent in a column published last month.
The overwhelming sentiment from my conversations with 20 network journalists and executives for this story is that they are exhausted and ready for 2024 to be over — even if they are scared by what next year will bring. “It’s pretty bleak,” one long-serving cable network producer told me. “It’s past the point of hard alcohol.”
Meanwhile, fellow MSNBC host Rachel Maddow has seen a significant drop in her viewership following President-elect Donald Trump’s Election Day victory, according to recent data.
Since Trump’s landslide win over Vice President Kamala Harris, “The Rachel Maddow Show” has lost 43% of its audience in 2024, now averaging just 1.4 million viewers.
Analysts identified the decline by comparing the show’s average viewership from January 1, 2024, through Election Day to its performance since November 6.
In 2022, Rachel Maddow reduced the show to a once-a-week format to “pursue other projects” despite her substantial salary. She recently signed a new contract to remain a prominent figure at MSNBC.
The network’s top star has experienced an even sharper decline among adults aged 25-54. Since the election, she has lost 56% of her audience in this key demographic, now averaging just 103,000 viewers—a critical blow given the importance of this age group to advertisers, OAN reported.

“I’m saying this as a wife — someone who watches her husband put his health on the line every single week for his team and for this game. I can accept a loss. I can accept how physical football is. But what happened tonight went far beyond that line. Everyone knows what a legal football play looks like. And everyone knows when a defender completely abandons the play and launches himself at a quarterback who has already released the ball. That’s no longer reaction. That’s a choice. And the hit on Patrick Mahomes was not an accident. He was fully exposed, in the most vulnerable position possible — and the defender still chose to drive straight through him. That’s reckless. That’s dangerous. And that’s how careers, and even lives, can be changed in a split second. What hurt the most was what came after — the celebrations, the smirks, the chest-pounding, as if injuring a quarterback was something to be proud of. If anyone wants to understand what was really shown tonight, don’t look at the scoreboard. Look at the reactions after that hit. Look at the silence on our sideline — and the noise on theirs. I don’t need to name names. Anyone who watches the replay knows exactly what happened. And I want to speak directly to the league and the officials: the hesitation, the late flags, the way dangerous moments get brushed aside or ‘managed’ instead of judged — we see it. The fans see it. And the lack of accountability is louder than any stadium tonight. The NFL talks constantly about protecting quarterbacks and player safety. But week after week, dangerous hits get labeled as ‘physical football,’ depending on whose jersey is involved. If that’s the standard now, then a line that should never be crossed has clearly been erased. We lost the game 13–16. That’s the score. But what’s unacceptable is that Patrick gave everything to keep his team in it — and paid for it with his health. The entire country saw what happened. You can’t erase that hit from the conversation just because the game kept moving. And I’ll say this clearly — if the league doesn’t truly step up to protect its players, if these standards continue to shift based on convenience, then tonight will not be the last time I speak up to defend my husband and tell the truth.” WATCH FULL [VIDEO] Via the link 👇👇👇
