“The five-day-a-week show will come to an end sometime next year as Maddow shifts gears to more of a weekly format,” @brianstelter reports. http://cnn.it/2Wfejbb

1. 'The deal expands the scope of her portfolio at NBCU,

"giving her the freedom to pursue a range of formats including film and TV series, according to a person familiar with the matter. Ms. Maddow is starting her own production company that will bring its potential projects to NBCUniversal first." In other words, a first-look deal.'

2. It was sure great to catch her daily

And she’s more than earned whatever she wants to do. I’m sure it will be brilliant.

Lawrence bores me, the other one is impossible to listen to.

I guess Chris Hayes will be my daily guy now. He’s very good.

Ali Velshy, Reid too.

16. I'm liking Medhi Hasan.

He doesn't mince words about TFG and his cult-followers.

17. A suggestion.

If you can only catch TV at certain times, record Nicole Wallce (if that's an option) and watch her when you can.

18. It's not hard to find her, thank you though.

She’s not bad but nothing like the journalist that Rachel is. Plus of course she was George Bush’s press secretary.

3. After Keith Left, She Was Main Reason I Continued Watching MSNBC

I'm sorry that in order to keep her, they had to agree to kill of her 9 PM EST show.

With her gone from daily broadcasts, and Morons like Andrea Mitchell & Up Chuck Todd still there, I'll have less reason to watch that channel.

I'd have to say that Nicole Wallace will likely be my favorite full time host from now on. She seems to be safe, since they actually expanded her from 1 hour to 2, not long ago.

5. I'll take her spot. I'd be fired in a few days (maybe less)

"So, Chuck. Please explain this drivel you've been spewing."
"Chuck, I must admit you may be the stupidest person I've ever met."

*me with confused look* "What the hell, Andrea? That doesn't even make sense."

Rick is shown the door. My tenure shorter than Scaramucci

14. Love this post

8. I still wish Keith was on Cable...might start watching again if he was back...I was hoping Rachel

would leave and start a new network that would stop kissing GOP ass. Ah well, no cable news for me in the foreseeable future.

11. On Nicole

David: Nicole Wallace will likely be my favorite full time host from now on. She seems to be safe, since they actually expanded her from 1 hour to 2, not long ago.

I have a bone to pick with Nicole, and most msnbc hosts. It is their constant misrepresentation of BREAKING NEWS. Coinky dinky just last week I had a post on it, you can link to it below. Rather quickly, they put up 'fake' breaking news. Here is one example from my thread, dunno which show it was from:

1. BREAKING NEWS; Gymnasts go maskless in Miami. Then a short video of ~50 gymnasts riding exercise bikes (iirc), most all maskless. This is insulting. No more breaking news than a parking lot fender bender.

Some hosts, or their producers, evidently forbid fake breaking news. I rarely see it on Morning Joe/Mika or Rachel Maddow, tho on occasion is not a stigma. I have seen it to varying annoying degrees from 9am Stephanie to 11pm Brian Wms, including Todd, Melber, Mohedin, Joy, O’Donnell, plus Nicole Wallace who seems to be the biggest offender. A typical Nicole show, not counting commercials or actual breaking news, is 75% or more fake breaking news. She’s a fine lady and announcer, but she really should stop and apologize. Whoever thought up this fake policy should be fired or demoted. Hosts must condone and know this is ongoing, how could they not? Nicole Wallace substituted for Rachel Maddow august 3rd & 5th, and not a fake breaking news did I see on Rachel’s 9pm hour, tho it abounds on Nicole’s 4 - 6 pm show.

This is not to be confused with actual breaking news, or even borderline breaking news (eye rolls). Fake is reporting obvious ordinary mundane daily events with a flashing red light at the bottom of the rv screen 'Look Here! Look Here!.
Sorry, but when I see fake breaking news on MSNBC, I generally change the channel, often to CNN which does not emply much at all Fake BREAKING NEWS.

4. I often wondered

How long she could keep up the pace and maintain the quality of her show. It had to be absolutely grueling.

If this is more manageable for her, I’m happy to see it.

Chris Hayes will be my go to show, and I’ll probably just watch less.

[Demsrule86]

9. I agree. I often wonder how people do nightly shows and have any kind of outside life...

For example, Nicole Wallace has young children...and I believe Rachel commutes quite a distance.

[IcyPeas]

19. I agree. and there's no way someone else in her timeslot... say on CNN

Chris Cuomo, for example, puts as much effort into his show. Sure they have staff people working and doing research on the shows every day but I get the feeling Rachel puts more, personally, into her show that almost any other host on any news channel. I think she is awesome.

6. I've seen speculations that she may have reassessed her priorities

when her wife had a bad case of Covid last year. If that's true, I totally get that. Whatever she chooses to do, THANK YOU Rachel for your service to this country.

7. I quit watching her a long time ago. n/t

[tishaLA]

10. Nicolle Wallace will probably take her place

and there'll be a general reshuffling of MSNBC's prime time lineup. I can imagine Brian Williams moving earlier and MSNBC moving on from Chris Hayes because his show is almost always in third place, although it's not necessarily the move I'd prefer.

12. I don't know - Velshi is awfully good

and seems to me to be the most liberal.

[Maeve]

13. Well, that may save us some money

We got Sling mostly so we could record Rachel and watch her show at our leisure (usually at dinner the next day). But without that....we'll drop Sling

15. Cool. So now the Watch RM right now! Posts will be weekly

Instead of daily. I can live with that.

[flotsam2]

20. Because they were a major annoyance to you?

I actually appreciated the reminder in cases when I was otherwise engaged.

[48656c6c6f20]

21. Well you could always send yourself

Reminders every 5 minutes to watch Rachel Maddow right fucking now,!?!
