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

Published On Feb 23, 2025, 5:01 AM

Joy Reid's evening news show on MSNBC, "The ReidOut," is being canceled as part of a significant programming overhaul by the network's new president, Rebecca Kutler. The final episode is scheduled for this week, making way for a new panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez, and Michael Steele. This change aims to revamp the network's lineup to compete better with ratings leaders like Fox News, despite MSNBC outperforming CNN.
