In reply to the discussion: Joy Reid should be given Greta's timeslot... [View all]bellmartin
(218 posts)33. I think we're typical MSNBC evening fans at my house
On days with interesting news especially (which is most days now), we tune into MTP Daily. We can't get it off the channel fast enough when it's time for Greta. We may go to CNN, maybe local news, maybe turn it off. We may then come back for Hardball, or maybe not for some time.
If the excellent and delightful Joy were in that slot instead, it would be must-watch. Lots of evenings, we wouldn't leave until after Lawrence or even after the 11th Hour.
Surely that matters to execs?
Please, bring us JOY!
