The new daytime programming schedule for msnbc will debut on Feb. 24.
Starting that Monday, News Nation with Tamron Hall will move to 11 a.m. ET and Andrea Mitchell Reports will move to 12 p.m. ET
“Tamron has established herself as one of the best news anchors in the business. It strengthens us to have her hosting during our morning news block,” said Griffin. “Andrea Mitchell is so critical to msnbc and I’ve always thought her show should be at noon. Andrea brings on the biggest newsmakers of the day and the new time slot will help showcase her work.”
Additionally, msnbc is adding two new voices with Ronan Farrow at 1 p.m. and Joy Reid at 2 p.m.
“One of the highlights of this job is finding new talent,” said Griffin. “Ronan and Joy are two of the most thoughtful and impressive journalists out there and I’m excited for what they will bring to the afternoon.”
