MSNBC to replay Bloomberg TV's 'With All Due Respect' show

...Replacing a fiery liberal talk show host like Sharpton with the insidery duo of Mark Halperin and John Heilemann is a statement by Andy Lack, the chairman of NBC News and MSNBC, about his vision for the cable news channel.

Lack is in the process of remaking the channel, seemingly away from partisan opinion and toward political news.

Lack was previously an executive at Bloomberg TV. And Heilemann and Halperin are regulars on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." So the deal isn't necessarily surprising, but it's still somewhat head-scratching.

Bloomberg isn't rated by Nielsen; there's scant evidence that "With All Due Respect" is a ratings draw.

MSNBC already has its own political talk show, Chuck Todd's "MTP Daily," at 5 p.m.; "With All Due Respect" is a competitor.

And Bloomberg TV as a whole is a competitor to MSNBC's sister business news channel CNBC.
