MS Now makes first major programming moves since name change
Cable news network plans for a new morning show hosted by Stephanie Ruhle, taking hour back from Morning Joe
MS Now, the liberal cable news network known until last November as MSNBC, on Wednesday announced its first significant programming changes since being spun off as part of a new media company called Versant.
The network announced that Morning Joe, its flagship breakfast program, will shift back from being four hours to three hours, as Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, married co-hosts, have talked about the strain of hosting a four-hour-long show every day.
