Chuck Todd continues to get shuffled down the line at MSNBC. Less than two years after his daily version of Meet the Press was moved from 5 p.m. ET to the early afternoon, the network announced that MTP Daily is moving to NBC News’ streaming service and will now be called Meet the Press NOW. “NBC News is the leader in streaming news. Since our launch, we’ve been committed to delivering the best of NBC News’ journalism, free, to streaming audiences everywhere,” NBC News President Noah Oppenheim said in a Friday morning statement. ...

1. So, is this a plus or minus for chucky??

Serious. the article talks up streaming, but I have no idea.


President Noah Oppenheim said in a Friday morning statement. “Chuck was one of the first broadcast anchors to see the massive potential of streaming and bringing Meet the Press’s daily franchise to NBC News NOW reinforces the platform’s status as the destination for news on streaming.” Todd’s new online program will debut in June and stream live at 4 p.m. ET. Longtime NBC News anchor Chris Jansing will take over Todd’s 1 p.m. ET time slot on MSNBC. This latest programming shift comes shortly after White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who is reportedly seeking a gig with MSNBC, officially announced she was leaving the Biden administration.

2. A minus. The streaming platform has way less exposure

It's where they put their newer hosts to cut their teeth and the has been.

Streaming is the digital guillotine, where they can accurately track in real time who is watching, which in Chuck’s case is almost no one. It’s beyond time for change at MTP.

4. HA HA HA

5. If I was watching TV at 1, I was watching CNN. I haven't seen Todd in ages. Now get him off Sunday

and show Mitchell the door too.

6. He is also the political director for the network.

NBC.

I hope that changes too.

8. I think they let him keep that title but it means little. If he were the...

actual political director he wouldn't have made the move of his own show to streaming, or the earlier move away from prime time.

He's experiencing white, male privilege but is either ignoring the hint or doesn't get it at all.

The next step is no new contract.

9. Except on the big political nights, it's Rachael, Joy and Nicole and at times Ari.

10. How so?

“…Charles David Todd (born April 8, 1972) is an American television journalist who is the 12th and current moderator of NBC's Meet the Press. He also hosts MTP Daily on MSNBC and is the Political Director for NBC News.”
