Action Newsroom

I'm currently in the still-current-but-soon-to-be-old studio of Live with Kelly & Mark, and it was mentioned during today's interviews with their guests (featured here is Nathan Fillion) that this is one of the very last episodes in this studio and on W 67th Street in UWS before the move to 7 Hudson Square. They didn't say exactly when it will happen, but it is more than likely after this month.

This is underwhelming & familiar.

The new schedule is here. Highlights: - Jen Psaki moves to Tuesday-Friday 9pm. - Rachel Maddow reverts to Mondays only. - A new evening show with The Weekend's hosts (2 hours on Mondays; 1 on Tue-Fri). - Expansions of the Reports shows to two hours each on dayside. - Jonathan Capehart gets a new weekend morning show. - Ayman and Velshi get new (expaned) weekend hours. All moves starting this spring.

An expansion for the network's news operation is planned prior to the SpinCo spinoff, with Jen Psaki and The Weekend's hosts eyed for larger on-air roles. https://deadline.com/2025/02/msnbc-jen-psaki-comcast-1236298178/

I really liked the first broadcast of the new EN. The graphics look great - simple and not kept onscreen yet effective and useful (and great lack of BREAKING NEWS), the set design is very nice, well-utilized and vibrant, and DuBois & Dickerson make a good team and the stories are great & informative. I look forward to watching this new era as it continues.
