Why is Morning Joe still on the air?

[OAITW r.2.0]

Since 10, it's a rerun of their show from their normal timeslot.

[True Blue American]

1. Even worse they are running reruns on the weekend!

Reason I quit watching.

[Rebl2]

10. Didn't know

that they were showing reruns on weekends. How odd. Guess they are desperate. Seems like when Rachel left, viewership fell and yes I do know she is on one night a week.

[True Blue American]

14. They do not seem to have enough people to fill the slots.

Chris Mathew’s was on when I came home from the pool. No news unless it is Trump 24/7.

[Samrob]

16. They keep firing people who are doing a good job of exposing the GQP...especially the black women.

[True Blue American]

17. Only Marcia Cross was fired.

She was in a fight with Fox News.

Ari is filling in for Nicolle. Jonathon has been filling in for Ali. But everything is one track, Trump.

[Rebl2]

18. Don't even

know Marcia Cross.

[True Blue American]

20. She was only on weekends for a short time.:)

You did not miss anything.

2. It's not because of me,

if you get my drift.😊

3. They have to fill four hours because MSNBC is trying to save $$$

And yes, a lot of it repeats. It is a very mixed bag but I need to listen to something when I freeze my ever-loving self and my pup on our four-mile pitch-dark walks each morning. Sometimes the guests are worth it. And sometimes, NPR is a much better choice.

4. The endless commercials got to be too much for me...

...oh, and Joe's incessant pining for the "Good ol' days" of #RonnieRaygun.

Come on, Joe: Sing us another chorus of "The Bad Bill Clinton blues."

"I'm just a simple country lawyer and don't know much."

[halfulglas]

5. Is he STILL pining for Ronnie?

I quit watching him even before 2016 because of that and because he was giving too much time to Trump's call ins when he used to lament how his father was a Democrat but Joe became a Republican because the Democratic party left him, not him leaving the Democrats. Now I don't even turn on the TV that early.

[True Blue American]

19. Joe forgets a lot.

Do not forget how different things were when Joe was in the House. So nice.

Funny, I still remember Joe being in the lead when House members went across the street snickering to interview Monica. Joe resigned shortly after to spend time with his family. His wife divorced him. I think he is on his their done now.

6. Why is it even on the air at all?

[True Blue American]

21. Good question!

No answer!

[sky_masterson]

7. I watch it every morning.

Joe is often a bit full of himself, but its entertaining. I really enjoy it When Jon Meacham is on. His historical knowledge fascinates me.

[mucifer]

8. it is a guilty pleasure of mine. I often don't agree with him. But sometimes it's good

to hear another take on things that isn't psycho bananas like fox.

[treestar]

9. sufficient advertisers willing to apy

that's all I got!

[sarcasmo]

11. Slot filler.

[C_U_L8R]

12. Why do people watch it?

It'll stay on as long as there's an audience that attracts advertisers.

[UTUSN]

13. Because Mika Mouse got Scabs to acknowledge her assertive self-worth?

And tamed his initial emotional and verbal abuse towards her and the weatherman from the early years of the show that Tweety (Chris MATTHEWS, for the young-uns) recruited him for?

[BlackSkimmer]

22. Wow, what psychological insight.

What does that have to do with reruns?

[JI7]

15. They rerun it for people in different time zones

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. This exactly.

It comes on the air at 3AM Pacific time.

[Ilsa]

23. They rerun blocks assuming that no one is watching

for four hours. I don't watch for 4 hours. But it probably works for people waking up in the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones.

I can't imagine how difficult it would be to host a show for 4 hours.
