Joy Reid will host her final evening news show with MSNBC this week as part of a slate of programming changes by Rebecca Kutler, the network’s new president, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

According to sources, Kutler plans to replace “The ReidOut,” which has aired at 7 p.m. ET since 2020, with co-hosts from “The Weekend” — Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez.

“The Weekend,” a two-hour show airing on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 8 a.m. ET, improved total viewership during its time slot by 35%.

Kutler is also expected to recruit Eugene Daniels, Politico’s White House correspondent, and Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University.

The final episode of Ms. Reid’s 7 p.m. show, “The ReidOut,” is planned for sometime this week, according to the people, who were not authorized to speak publicly. The show, which features in-depth interviews with politicians and other newsmakers, has been a fixture of MSNBC’s lineup for the past five years.

MSNBC is planning to replace Ms. Reid’s program with a show led by a trio of anchors: Symone Sanders Townsend, a political commentator and former Democratic strategist; Michael Steele, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee; and Alicia Menendez, the TV journalist, the people said. They currently co-host “The Weekend,” which airs Saturday and Sunday mornings.

An MSNBC spokesman, Richard Hudock, declined to comment. Ms. Reid declined to comment.

The programming shake-up is the first major change made by Ms. Kutler, who was appointed president this month. Ms. Kutler has been drawing up a new programming lineup to jump-start the network’s ratings, which have outperformed rival CNN but lagged behind the longtime ratings leader, Fox News.

I would love to see Rachel come back full time but I do like Psaki

That is no longer the case. Instead, MSNBC is planning to appoint a new anchor to fill Ms. Wagner’s spot, the two people said. A likely candidate for that hour is Jen Psaki, a former White House press secretary in the Biden administration, who hosts shows on Sunday at noon and 8 p.m. on Mondays, the people said, though adding that this decision hadn’t been finalized.

I am glad that Joy Reid is gone. I stopped watching her a while back when she got very negative on President Biden and the Harris campaign
