MSNBC is set to drop Joy Reid’s “The ReidOut,” which will air its final show on the network this week, TheWrap has learned. The cancellation is part of Rebecca Kutler’s vision for the network moving forward. Anchor Alex Wagner will also be replaced during the 9 p.m. spot Tuesday-Friday, but will remain with the network as a correspondent.
MSNBC will replace “The ReidOut” with a new show hosted by “The Weekend” anchors Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez in the 7 p.m. ET slot.
Kutler is expected to announce changes to the network across daytime, primetime and weekend programming.
