MSNBC Shakes Up Dayside Lineup: Jos Diaz-Balart to Rejoin Cable Channel

I caught some of Ayman Mohyeldin's show this weekend and have long thought he needed his own, so props there. He is good imo.

MSNBC Shakes Up Dayside Lineup: José Diaz-Balart to Rejoin Cable Channel
With the Telemundo anchor taking over MSNBC's 10 a.m. hour, Hallie Jackson will shift to 3 p.m., and Ayman Mohyeldin will get a weekend primetime program.

MSNBC is shaking up its dayside lineup, according to a memo to staff Tuesday from the channel’s president, Rashida Jones.

The biggest change is the return of José Díaz-Balart to MSNBC’s daytime lineup. Diaz-Balart will anchor José Díaz-Balart Reports in the 10 a.m. hour weekdays starting Sept. 27. Diaz-Balart previously served as a dayside anchor for MSNBC from 2014-2016.

He is also the Saturday anchor for NBC Nightly News, and has been the anchor of Telemundo’s evening newscast Noticias Telemundo since 2009. However, with his new role at MSNBC, he will step aside as the main evening news anchor at the Spanish-language broadcast network, and instead shift to a new role anchoring monthly specials and breaking news coverage, as well as expanded Spanish-language news coverage for Peacock. He will continue to be based out of Telemundo’s Miami headquarters.

With Diaz-Balart’s new MSNBC hour, Hallie Jackson, who currently anchors at 10, will shift to 3 p.m., while continuing to report for Today and Nightly News, and continues to prep a streaming show for for the fall.

Ayman Mohyeldin, who currently anchors the 3 p.m. hour, will instead anchor a primetime show on the weekends, called Ayman. He will also lead a show on Fridays for MSNBC’s Peacock channel, The Choice.

It feels like moving the chairs on the Titanic. Joe and Mika is stale with few pundits.

They lost Kasie Hunt, Chris says she is leaving. They have jerked Ali all over the place.

Add some investigators and opinion of people on the street. We know what all your paid contributors will say ahead of time. Do some work instead of just talk and opinion from the same people. Cable news is still off in my house. All of it. It is not news.

they'd get rid of Mrs. Greenspan and Chuck Toad. I'm so sick of those two fossils I could puke. I guess Mrs. Greenspan is there until death do them part though. She's well past her expiry date, IMNSHO.
