David Shuster will be the Host on MSNBC from 3-5 PM ET

[MadBadger]

Sounds like he'll be the dayside host for those hours.

[Windy]

1. Great! I like Shuster! nt

[Hamlette]

2. me too, except for his twitter crush, I think he's the best right now

I love Rachel and KO when they are reporting news. All the cute stuff bugs me.

[jeanpalmer]

9. Didn't Keith do away with Oddball?

Instead of a 40 minutes of subtance and 20 of goofing around, seems like he's gone to 60 minutes of substance. I like that a lot better.

Shuster is good too. They're getting a really great lineup.

[Berry Cool]

11. Nope, Keith still does Oddball, and I'm glad.

It was never 20 minutes long anyway. A few minutes of goofing is fine with me.

[annabanana]

3. That's good. I'm hoping they start to re-vamp their am programming too.

They are hard corporate-right in the am...

[MadBadger]

5. They are with Morning Joe, though Id disagree from 9-12.

[Uzybone]

4. Looks like I may never have to watch CNN again

between 3-9pm there is no reason for me to even glimpse CNN.

[ErinBerin84]

6. so

is Shuster going to have to change his Twitter account from Shuster1600? Lol.

[eleny]

7. I hope he keeps his Hypocrisy Watch

It's always a good segment.

[jenmito]

10. That's why he should host MTP. He could put his skills to good use there. n/t

[Pirate Smile]

21. I hope he eventually gets the 10 spot following Rachel.

[jenmito]

8. He was an anchor during those hours already. I wonder if he'll now be the only one or the main one

during those two hours. He was always at "the politics desk."

[MadBadger]

12. When he moved to 1600, I believe Tamron Hall took over at 4 and Contessa at 3.

Im positive on Hall, not on Brewer. He'll prob take over those two hours and Hall and Brewer will be confined to the AM with Mitchell at 1 and Norah at 2.

[jenmito]

19. Well, the three women were on during those hours but Shuster was sometimes there

at "the politics desk" during those hours, too.

[MadBadger]

20. I think your getting confused with MSNBC AM and 3-5.

[Cha]

13. Kick for

Shuster's new gig.

[TahitiNut]

14. Good! Less No-rah the Ho-rah.

That's very good.

[jillan]

15. Where does Tweety fit into all of this?

Maybe he should take over the morning show and get rid of Joe and Mika.

[MadBadger]

17. Tweety is on at 5 and 7 ET

[jenmito]

18. His show doesn't change. n/t

[ErinBerin84]

16. HuffPost has the press release

Looks like he is sharing the two block hours with Tamron Hall. Well, at least it's not Contessa.

David Shuster, currently hosting "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" at 6 p.m. ET on MSNBC, will join Tamron Hall as host of a new 3-5 p.m. ET program on MSNBC. Shuster will also continue to anchor breaking news coverage during the day and serve as a regular substitute anchor for "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." Norah O'Donnell's hour will move to the morning. The exact hour will be announced at a later date.

[jefferson_dem]

22. So it'll go Shuster - Tweety - Big Ed - KO - Rachel - ?

I like it.

[denem]

24. Shuster - Tweety - Big Ed - KO - Rachel - TYT

[jefferson_dem]

25. Has TYT been signed up yet?

Personally, I was rooting for Seder.

[MadBadger]

28. I have seen nothing on TYT getting the spot. Its still KO's rerun.

[ecstatic]

23. I like Shuster more and more everyday... but it seems as though he was

robbed of an evening slot.

[angee_is_mad]

29. I agree

and was finally finding his way and this happens.

[AtomicKitten]

26. Great move on MSNBC's part.

Here I thought they were giving Shuster the heave-ho with Ed Schultz's good fortune only to find out Shuster got himself a sweet block of time himself. Great stuff.

[realitythink]

27. He is up against Blitzer!!

For his first hour anyway. If they can take him down then CNN is in big trouble and Shuster will be in a very good position.

[Lugnut]

30. Great!

Losing Noron works for me.

[MarjorieG]

31. The 10 spot will be a problem if Jay Leno has show, so keeping Schuster, Ed viable.

KO rerun may be the best solution.

[gabby garcia]

32. I think he deserves his own show..

with his name on it.

[genna]

33. When is that going to start? He has been hosting HARDBALL today and yesterday
