Joy Reid’s MSNBC Show Canceled in Major Shake-Up

[yureeka9]

$3 million a year for 5 years is borrowed time?

Sure, if that's what was in the contract. Doesn't matter what you're promised on the front end. Its how they feel about you when its time to sign a new contract that counts. They didn't wake up this week and decide to get rid of her. This has been in the works for a while.

You knew the first week she wasn’t going to get Chris Mathew’s tenure.

Not surprised

Going closer to the right

[blackbull1970]

Interesting…and not surprised.

I got a feeling Chris Hayes and Lawrence O’Donnell will be getting dropped soon.

MSNBC has been trying to go “FOX LITE” since 2016. The same with CNN.

 

[bgbtylvr]

They should form the largest black social media and YouTube organization like Voltron and bank. However, if I was rich enough to get my entire immediate family out of America, I would dip soon as the ink dried. Now way I’m gonna be rich AND stay here. Why? And joy gotta be mid to late 50’s. Fuck it.

 

[LordSinister]

All of these channels have been talk radio for decades. We haven't had prime time news in decades.

 

[Pworld297]

Just might be a blessing for her, just go and startup your own YouTube channel, do podcast. Be independent because you don't have to worry about watching what you say on Network television. Hell Don Lemon be calling Maga dumb as fuck and racist now, he don't be holding back lol

Chris Hayes just had the #1 best selling book in the country. I don’t know the ratings but he seems to have a base.

I don’t see how they are FOX lite since 2016 when nearly all of their content has been obsessively anti-Trump.

Ironically, I think they hurt Democrats by talking about Trump more than Biden when Biden was president. I think they should cover what Democrats are about 100x more than they do.

They’re spinning off all of their platforms, including MSNBC, CNBC, and NBC. Cut the dead weight

Comcast to spin off portfolio of cable networks including MSNBC and CNBC​

The US telecommunications giant Comcast announced plans to spin off cable networks including MSNBC and E! as traditional TV audiences continue to dwindle.

MSNBC, E!, CNBC, USA, Oxygen, SYFY and the Golf Channel will form part of a new, publicly traded company, while Comcast focuses on brands including NBC and Bravo.


“When you look at our assets, talented management team and balance sheet strength, we are able to set these businesses up for future growth,” said Brian L Roberts, chairman and CEO of Comcast.

The spun-off company will have “significant financial resources” from the outset, Roberts claimed, and be “ideally positioned for success and highly attractive to investors, content creators, distributors and potential partners”.



Shares in Comcast, which also owns the Xfinity wireless provider and Universal Pictures, the Hollywood movie studio, rose 1.7% during pre-market trading on Wall Street.

The rise of streaming, and the decline of cable subscriptions, have put significant pressure on cable networks. Comcast launched its own streaming platform, Peacock, in 2020 in a bid to take on the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney.

Splitting MSNBC, the liberal news network, from NBC’s flagship news division is unlikely to be a straightforward task. The two businesses are closely intertwined, and share high-profile talent. There are also close ties between NBC News and CNBC, the financial news network.

MSNBC has faced intense scrutiny following the election victory of Donald Trump earlier this month. Ratings have dropped significantly in the aftermath of the result, while viewership of the rightwing Fox News held firm.

The spun-off business will also include the ticketing website Fandango and reviews website Rotten Tomatoes. Comcast said the company it is spinning off, which it dubbed “SpinCo”, generated $7bn in sales in the year to 30 September, although its announcement did not set out how this compared with previous years.

“This transaction positions both SpinCo and NBCUniversal to play offense in a changing media landscape,” claimed Mike Cavanagh, president of Comcast, who added that it would put Comcast’s NBCUniversal division “on a new growth trajectory”.

Majority of MSNBC lineup is pro-Trump/GOP.

It starts off with 4 hours of “Morning Joe” who is a Republican and is now kissing Trumps Ass along with Mika who supposed to be liberal.

Andrea Mitchell followed. That old bat was 100% Conservative talking smack about Hillary and Biden and kissing Trumps Ass. She retired this year, I don’t know who replaced her.

That Spanish dude they pulled from Univision is conservative.

Nicole Wallace is a conservative, who isn’t 100% happy with what the GOP/Trump is doing.

Ari Melber pretends to be “liberal” with his Hip Hop references, but he is always giving Trump/GOP the benefit of the doubt usin “legalese” talk.

Alex Wagner pretends to be liberal but always give Trump/GOP the benefit of the doubt.

I don’t like Joe or Wallace but everyone you named is explicitly anti-Trump.

People being bad or attempting to be even-handed in their coverage doesn’t make them pro-Trump.

Your claim is objectively false. Calling Alex Wagner pro-Trump is just loony.

BET is white owned, could they really make a difference? Would another white owned established media group be willing to enforce a narrative of BLACK FIRST?

Radio One is still around

 

[julian]

I watch 3 "news"shows I watch Joy Reid cause I liked her style and her show is own when Im researching my NBA.MLB,CBB bets. I watch Rachel Maddow cause I love her show style and how informative her show is and finally I watch Chris Cuomo mainly cause for some reason I like him and some of his non political topics are always fire. I hate Bill O Reilly on his show but its tolerable.

 

[totto]

Did your smart ass read the article to see who's replacing her or do you just watch Fox News?

​

More moderate criticism, Joy went a bit hard at times on racism and whites got offended, she pulled receipts constantly.

Truth is the "black power" route in America is mostly dead in terms of public perception, you need to be more middle ground.

White people play stupid and are good at it.

Subscribed last year that's my early morning national news show.

 

[APOPHIS]

Some of us saw this coming...
All that and this is how they repay her die-hard loyalty.

 

[APOPHIS]

May I suggest Sabby Sabs, this Sista always brings the facts, data and statics.

She is one of the few out there who goes hard on both sides. With her right is right, wrong is wrong, no middle ground.

None of that emotional identity politics. Just unfiltered truth.

I love her perspectives!
She's too truthful and radical for MSNBC.
They want zionist butt-kissing shills in those positions.

 

[lightbright]

First the black bitch who ran MSNBC News, until recent getting fired herself, got rid of Tiffany Cross for being too outspoken despite her show getting very good ratings. Now station execs are doing the same thing to Joy Reid. MSNBC evidently was/is afraid of the blowback from bigoted white people who resent the truth being regularly told by strong intelligent black women.

I've just about had it with MSNBC. The station has gone from a fearless progressive news/opinion station to something increasingly resembling Fox Lite. Thank goodness Amy Goodman's Democracy Now show is still airing to give us the unvarnished truth about the fuckery going on in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Best believe that Simone won't last long, I'm really tired of that "sassy black woman" role .... you see how quick Simones's show got canceled .... her name floating all around the set in different sizes and fonts ..... I was lihe wtf is this?

I’m somewhat interested in what Symone Sanders has to say.

Steele may be the lamest man on tv and he is an embarrassment when it comes to reading from prompter.

I don’t know the other person.

How does this make any sense when she was replaced by two black people and the Latina?

Damn Alex Wagner's show getting canned too..

Joy Reid and Alex Wagner Axed From MSNBC Lineup in Major Network Shakeup

MSNBC’s evening line-up may soon look quite different from what die-hard viewers have come to expect. The NBCUniversal-backed cable network is expected to move the trio of Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele to its 7 p.m. weekday slot Tuesday through Friday, according to...

I thought she was getting canned— keeping her as a contributor seems more humiliating. She should try something else.

Alex Wagner, who has hosted weeknights at 9 p.m. save for a Monday night led by Rachel Maddow, is expected to be named a contributor, according to three people with knowledge of current talks. Wagner, who has been working as a correspondent across the U.S. during the first 100 days of the new Trump presidency while Rachel Maddow anchors each day at 9, is unlikely to return to her weeknight slot, these people indicated. Jen Psaki is expected to take over at least one of the hours, according to one of these people.​

Imagine being her and being asked to contribute for Psaki’s show.

They could put a graphic saying “Trump” on the screen for an hour and the majority of posters in this thread would tune in.

They are obsessed with Trump so why waste any money for ratings that are gauaranteed?
