Morning Meeting now one hour
Morning Meeting will air each morning from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. ET as the show prepares to launch at a new time in the afternoon within the coming weeks.

5. It's down to 1 hour now, while he's preparing for a move to the afternoon
MSNBC's "Morning Meeting" is about to get an afternoon edition.

TVNewser has learned that starting Monday, host Dylan Ratigan will be on for one hour, 9amET only, so he and the team can prepare for a move to the afternoon after the first of the year.

6. I like Ratigan. Helps me forget about Morning Blow if I happen to catch any of that.
I need a major adjustment after the coffee blow has been on, and Ratigan seems to do it. He should be good in the afternoon.

7. They want to move him to lead into Hardball, which means that Dylan must be
getting some nice numbers.

8. Good. His show is completely unwatchable these days
He's continuously trying to figure out what to say/rant about to get higher ratings. Does anyone remember his rant against the public option/government healthcare when he was on the Ed Show back in June?

10. Out Here In The West...His Show Is Ending
by the time I tune in now.

I'm not happy about this.

I found this about the daytime ratings. http://www.newsonnews.net/msnbc/1285-msnbc-daytime-programming-becoming-an-embarrassment.html
