Joy Reid will host her final evening news show on MSNBC this week as part of a series of programming changes introduced by the network’s new president, Rebecca Kutler, sources familiar with the matter

According to insiders, Kutler plans to replace “The ReidOut,” which has aired at 7 p.m. ET since 2020, with a panel of co-hosts from “The Weekend” — Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez.

“The Weekend,” a two-hour program airing on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 8 a.m. ET, has boosted total viewership in its time slot by 35%.

Before launching “The ReidOut,” Reid hosted MSNBC’s weekend talk show “AM Joy” from 2016 to 2020.

Despite these programming shifts, MSNBC remains committed to its progressive stance, particularly with Donald Trump back in office. Since his inauguration, the network has seen a 77% increase in primetime viewership and a 34% rise in total daytime viewers.

A source that Kutler is expected to announce additional programming changes across multiple MSNBC shows.

A network spokesperson declined to comment on the developments.

Meanwhile, Alex Wagner, who has been hosting “Alex Wagner Tonight” from Tuesday to Friday at 9 p.m. ET as a substitute for “The Rachel Maddow Show,” will not be returning to the primetime slot due to her new special assignment coverage. However, she will remain with the network as a correspondent.

Jen Psaki, whose show launched in 2023 with Kutler’s support, is set to take one of MSNBC’s primetime slots, according to sources. “Inside with Jen Psaki” is currently the network’s highest-rated weekend program. Psaki, a former White House press secretary under Joe Biden, previously worked as apolitical contributor from 2017 to 2020.

There is speculation that Psaki could take over the 9 p.m. ET slot once Rachel Maddow reduces her appearances to one night per week, following the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency.

Kutler is also expected to bring in Eugene Daniels, Politico’s White House correspondent, and Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University, to further strengthen the network’s lineup.

“This is both an exciting and challenging time. As leaders, we must be honest about the difficulties ahead. Our work is tough under normal circumstances, and these are far from normal times,” Kutler stated during a February meeting with MSNBC executives.

Kutler officially assumed the role of MSNBC president on February 12, having previously been hired in 2022 by former network chief Rashida Jones. She spent two decades at before joining MSNBC.

Now leading the network through a corporate transition following its separation from cable giant Comcast, Kutler is expected to shape MSNBC’s future direction.

“In the short time that Rebecca served as interim president, it became evident that she possesses the strategic vision and leadership needed to ensure MSNBC remains true to its brand while navigating industry changes,” said Mark Lazarus, CEO of SpinCo, the company that now owns MSNBC, when announcing Kutler’s appointment in February.
