Could ‘MTP Daily’ move to mornings on MSNBC — or go away entirely?
MSNBC’s lineup may be facing more shakeups.
- A Page Six article reports that sources say that NBC has asked “Meet the Press” moderator and political director Chuck Todd to move his “MTP Daily” show to 9 a.m.
- This would open up a two hour block for rising star Nicolle Wallace’s “Deadline: White House.”
- Todd’s show has dipped in the key demo ratings, while the shows that bookend it, “Deadline” and “The Beat” tend to perform better.
- The 9 a.m. slot could soon be open if NBC decides to take Stephanie Ruhle, who was recently promoted to senior business correspondent, off the “MSNBC Live” hour she anchors so she can focus on other duties.
- One idea that’s reportedly being float around is to move Todd to 9 a.m., directly after the network’s “Morning Joe.”
- According to insiders who talked to Page Six, Todd would reportedly rather leave MSNBC entirely and focus on “Meet the Press” on NBC as well as his significant duties as political director for the network.
- “MTP Daily” launched in 2015 as a daily spinoff of “Meet the Press” (that’s where the letters “MTP” come from).
- Meanwhile, it is widely expected that MSNBC will add Joshua Johnson to its dayside lineup, likely at 1 p.m.
