MSNBC is making changes to its afternoon lineup.
The cable network confirmed to The Hill on Monday that Chuck Todd’s “MTP Daily” will move from 5 p.m. to 1 p.m., while Nicolle Wallace‘s “Deadline: White House” will expanding to a two-hour format.
The changes also have Ayman Mohyeldin, co-anchor of “Morning Joe First Look” at 5 a.m., moving to the network’s 3 p.m. time slot.
The changes, first reported by Variety, will take effect Aug. 17.
MSNBC also said that starting next month, Todd will anchor a weekly hourlong political news program on NBC News NOW, the network’s 24-hour streaming news service, and Peacock, NBCUniversal’s new streaming platform.
“Ultimately, I’d do ‘Meet the Press’ as a channel someday,” Todd, who hosts “Meet the Press” on Sunday mornings, told USA Today’s “Talking Tech” podcast in June. “I think that every smart news program that has a legacy will view itself more as a channel than as a show.”
Wallace, a White House communications director under former President George W. Bush and a top adviser to 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, previously worked at CBS News, ABC News and as a co-host on “The View.”
“Deadline: White House” launched on MSNBC in 2017. Wallace finished July as the most-watched anchor at 4 p.m. among the three major cable news networks.
MSNBC finished July as the second-most-watched network on cable, with its highest ratings for the month in its 24-year history.
