MSNBC Boots Chuck Todd's Weekday Show to Streaming Service

[bigtree]

Duty To Warn 🔉@duty2warn9m
NBC has moved Chuck Todd from MSNBC to NBC Plus.

Chuck Todd continues to get shuffled down the line at MSNBC. Less than two years after his daily version of Meet the Press was moved from 5 p.m. ET to the early afternoon, the network announced that MTP Daily is moving to NBC News’ streaming service and will now be called Meet the Press NOW.

“NBC News is the leader in streaming news. Since our launch, we’ve been committed to delivering the best of NBC News’ journalism, free, to streaming audiences everywhere,” NBC News President Noah Oppenheim said in a Friday morning statement. “Chuck was one of the first broadcast anchors to see the massive potential of streaming and bringing Meet the Press’s daily franchise to NBC News NOW reinforces the platform’s status as the destination for news on streaming.”

Todd’s new online program will debut in June and stream live at 4 p.m. ET. Longtime NBC News anchor Chris Jansing will take over Todd’s 1 p.m. ET time slot on MSNBC.

1. I leave this to Nelson Muntz

[geardaddy]

54. My thoughts exactly!

LOL

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. Finally a god damn ray of sunshine.

[agingdem]

6. Thank you Trevor Noah..

"I'd ask a follow up but I know you don't know what those are!"...BOOM...about damn time..and, Chuck, take the useless Andrea Mitchell with you...

[malaise]

14. Ha

The truth

[PatrickforB]

58. I didn't like Trevor at first, because I had so much high regard for Jon Stewart -

you know, big shoes to fill and all that.

But he's grown on me.

Do you remember the interview Jon did on Meet the Press years ago, before Chucky got it? Where he pointed out how lame it is when people are getting their news from the Comedy Channel instead of the so-called 'news' media? He had those guys SQUIRMING.

I loved it when Trevor called out Chuck with that deal on follow up questions.

[DanieRains]

44. The Punch He Couldn't Take

Gridiron does its job.

[rurallib]

55. I think that was the straw that broke the camels back

as the saying goes.

About fucking time!

[Evolve Dammit]

56. those two I avoid watching. Next to useless

[Hestia]

66. Not that I am an Andrea fan, but she was "senior" State Dept reporter until Tillerson

quit having State Dept press conferences. Tillerson, coming from public sector, didn't think he should have to. State Dept biz is/was his biz, and he doesn't have to answer to anyone about the state of the US vs the World.

So, MSNBC gave her her own show and now they are stuck with her. You'd think she'd want to retire as Mrs Greenspan but hell, who knows.

[agingdem]

69. she's a Hillary hater...

did everything she could to push the Hillary email garbage...she's 75 (I'm 73) and she's "reaching" for words..the older she gets the better she was..it happens to all of us...way past time to retire..

[samsingh]

67. yes - i change the channel when i see either of their horrible faces

[uponit7771]

77. +1,

[PortTack]

26. Yes!! A piece of good news. They need to send mrs Greenspan packing too

[certainot]

62. hallelujah!

[uponit7771]

76. +1,

[underpants]

3. Now boot Andrea Mitchell to MySpace

[Deuxcents]

5. Yes, please

[PatSeg]

15. Yes, the two worst hours

of MSNBC weekday programming. It sure took long enough to get a clue about Chuck Todd. Hopefully Andrea can retire once and for all. Let her do an occasional on-location interview.

[Wednesdays]

37. In Mariupol. nt

[Rebl2]

21. Please do

[North Shore Chicago]

25. LOL!

[Backseat Driver]

33. Oh, yes please! Shouldn't she be home, supervising Alan's nurse anyway?

[Emile]

4. In a week or two he'll pobably have his own show on FOX.

[cilla4progress]

7. I may be unique in this,

but I like Jansing!

Glad to see this!

[cachukis]

9. She's a pro.

[QED]

10. I like her too.

I hoped that she would take over for Brian Williams. I'm glad she had her own show finally.

[PatSeg]

16. Oh yes, me too

I felt badly when she lost her morning show years ago. She was one of my favorite daytime hosts. She was a lot more professional than the Chuck Todd-Samantha Guthrie morning show.

[Rebl2]

23. I didn't

like her in the beginning, but I do now.

[Hestia]

68. She was great when she sat in after Brian Williams left. She's more like the BBC, who

allow an interviewee to answer the entire question without interruption - they won't break in with commercials during interviews.

Stephanie Ruelhe (sp?) needs to go back on days and Kris take her slot at night. Kris is a natural segue from Lawrence rather than Stephanie crying over pics from UA. Everything has its time and place.

[Mike Nelson]

8. Yay! Yay!

... I like Chris Jansing much better... I'm still afraid I might run into Andrea Mitchell over there - maybe she can move her show to podcast only?

[hlthe2b]

11. Finally. I can almost see the steam eminating from the very "entitled" ears of Chuck the Toady

[sarcasmo]

12. MSNBC daytime ratings will see a ratings bump.

[PatSeg]

17. Yes

I never watch MSNBC for those two hours in the afternoon - Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell. It is truly painful to watch.

[Rebl2]

30. Same here

unless someone is filling in for them. I wish Ari Melber had a two hour show and wish they would get rid of Hallie Jackson.

[PatSeg]

75. Yes, Jackson is hard to watch as well

She is often very rude and abrasive.

[Rebl2]

78. I agree

[malaise]

13. They should give it to Rachel and replay it at night

My two cents

[bigtree]

18. agree

...she's apparently got the time these days.

[brooklynite]

19. It how will people people to complain about him?

[FakeNoose]

20. K & R Good Move MSNBC!

[aggiesal]

22. Making room for Jen Psaki? n/t

[FalloutShelter]

34. Yes please.

[liberalla]

45. Good thinking! could be part of the coming change in programming... I expect to see more.

[Ray Bruns]

24. They need to move him to the basement like they did Milton in Office Space.

[milestogo]

27. Boot him and Andrea right out the door, please.

[Rebl2]

35. Andrea hasn't

been on the last few days I noticed.

[kimbutgar]

41. Perhaps got Covid at the correspondents dinner ?

[Rebl2]

43. My thought

too, but don’t know if she attended.

[kimbutgar]

46. She was there I saw her in the crowd

[Rebl2]

49. Okay

I know I heard several NBC people have tested positive since the show/dinner. Whatever you call it.

[dchill]

28. MSNBC+

Heh.

[ashredux]

29. He will NOT be missed!

[mitch96]

31. Zo da qvestion ist... who will fill that time slot???nt

[vlyons]

32. Maybe they'll give that hour to Jen Psaki

I'd watch that hour for sure

[True Blue American]

42. She quit yesterday.

[vlyons]

48. She's moving to MSNBC

just haven't announced in what capacity

[JohnQFunk]

52. I want to see "Coming to MSNBC: ...

Cutting Through the Bullsh!t with Jen Psaki"

[True Blue American]

72. They said that yesterday!:)

[True Blue American]

71. Not to worry

This is why they are moving shows around! Rachel2!

[bucolic_frolic]

36. Good. I don't see how he got to where he is. Or was.

[LiberatedUSA]

38. Good. He makes my ears bleed. N/t

[kimbutgar]

39. Now if he's replaced on Meet the Press on Sundays.....that would be even better!

Whenever I turn on my tv and its on msnbc and I see the Toad I switch it immediately. Obviously I’m not the only one doing that.

[True Blue American]

40. That is one way of getting rid of him

Notice a woman has been filling in on Sunday.

Do not forget Biden Press Secretary is coming on board. She quit yesterday

[Yoyoyo77]

50. Yes,yes,yes please make it happen! Meet the Press with Jen Psaki!!!!

[Hestia]

74. Now *that* would be a show - only if MSNBC doesn't constrain her like they do most of their

talking heads. Only one narrative allowed with no follow through. She may find it worse that when she was Press Secretary.

[Traildogbob]

51. Well then!!!

Did he ask MSNBC a follow up question when they told him, “we are gonna need you Chuck to move your office down to the basement.”

[Jim__]

53. I wonder if they gave Chuck a 10 foot pole. You know, so he could stay in touch with the network.

[PCIntern]

57. Chuckie seems a little subdued today...

I wonder why…?

[RANDYWILDMAN]

59. Chuck you suck...

bye bye bye

They need to fire this man !

[Hortensis]

60. More and more people are getting their news from streaming/

video. Especially younger viewers.

Hope this means MSNBC cable's left-leaning viewers finally woke up to Todd's spinning of disinfo and disaffection to them, but this is a critically important election year and he'll still be doing the job they hired him to do on the audiences they point him at.

I read there's a demographic that gets almost all their political/national news from the Sunday morning political shows. Not large, but every demographic counts and this one's being fed into the Republican maw.

[bringthePaine]

61. one step closer to the exit - long overdue, but welcome nonetheless

[Paladin]

63. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Too big a response? Hey, I'm out of practice when it comes to good news like this.

[Fiendish Thingy]

64. He still has MTP on Sunday though, right?

One more step in the right direction…

[jaxexpat]

65. When Trevor speaks, NBC management listens.

It's all very esoteric, comedians influence in both MSNBC and the Ukraine. Has Trump attempted to clumsily extort MSNBC lately?

[barbtries]

70. good.

i never watched him anyway. do they think he has enough of a following for it to help their bottom line? i guess they must.

[littlemissmartypants]

73. What? Toady?

The sound of his voice makes my skin crawl. Looking at him turns my stomach. My life will be unchanged by this news. I hope in the not too distant future we will hear of his "retirement."

Congratulations, Chuck.
