Rachel Maddow Will Return to Nightly Shows on MSNBC for Trump's First 100 Days

Source: NYT

Rachel Maddow pared back her on-air schedule during President Biden’s time in office, reducing her popular prime-time program on MSNBC to once a week.

With President-elect Donald J. Trump returning to power, she’s going back to full-time duty.

MSNBC said on Monday that Ms. Maddow would temporarily return to broadcasting her one-hour show every weeknight at 9 p.m. Eastern for the duration of Mr. Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Through April 30, Alex Wagner, the anchor who filled Ms. Maddow’s time slot from Tuesdays to Fridays, will instead file reports from around the country “on the impacts of Trump’s early policies and promises on the electorate,” the network said.

Now, if we could get Alex Wagner to take Mica and Joe's morning slot, we'd be in business.

as the “anti-Fox” network. Hopefully this is a sign of it’s programming moving in that direction.

None of it. Rachel’s nightly show is broadcast as a podcast the morning after anyway.
