Programming changes at MSNBC [View all]

David Gura of "Up" announced today that his weekend morning slot was going to Ali Veshi while Gura goes to Sat afternoon.

This article says MSNBC heads want to move Chuck Todd to 9 a.m. to give Nicolle Wallace a 2-hour block.

The 9 a.m. slot is opening because Stephanie Ruhle is becoming an NBC biz reporter.
