Stephanie Ruhle, Ali Velshi, Jacob Soboroff and Alicia Menendez get new shows, 'Morning Joe' shifts to three hours, Chris Hayes returns to M
Alex Weprin at THR:
MS NOW is overhauling its lineup from morning through night, moving anchors around and adjusting time periods as the Versant-owned cable channel prepares to cover the looming 2026 midterm elections. MS NOW president Rebecca Kutler announced the changes on the channel’s daily editorial call Wednesday. The changes, which will go into effect come June, will include Ali Velshi taking over the late night show The 11th Hour from his friend and It’s Happening co-host Stephanie Ruhle, with Ruhle moving to a new morning period from 9-11 a.m. weekdays where she will delve into money and politics as the opening bell rings. With that new change, Morning Joe will return to three hours from 6-9 a.m. Jonathan Lemire, who had been co-anchor of the 9 a.m. hour, will become co-anchor of the 8 a.m. hour. Morning Joe’s ratings have been strong, but the demands of leading a four-hour show five days a week has taken its toll, as Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have noted before. The change will also allow the team to build new offerings for MS NOW’s upcoming digital subscription product. Alicia Menendez, co-host of The Weeknight, will take over the 12-2 p.m. time period, with Luke Russert (who has been a frequent fill-in host on the show) joining The Weeknight full time (her family is in New Jersey, and she had been commuting to Washington D.C.). The Weeknight will also go from two hours to one hour on Mondays, with Chris Hayes once again anchoring Mondays at 8 p.m. after cutting back in 2023. Russert, of course, leads MS NOW’s live events business, and is a former anchor on MSNBC. Jacob Soboroff will take over Velshi’s time period over the weekend from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Chris Jansing, currently the 12-2 p.m. anchor, will shift to a new role as chief political reporter (a sizable role for the midterms) while Ana Cabrera, who leads the 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. period, will leave the channel. The dayside programs are still expected to be rooted in hard news and reporting, though they will get new branding away from the “Reports” name they had been using. The channel is also expected to name a new 11 a.m. anchor in the near future.
The MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) weekday lineup will get significant changes, the weekend one will get minor changes.
Key changes:
Morning Joe reverts to 3 hours (6AM ET/5AM CT-9AM ET/8AM ET)
All In Chris Hayes is a 5 days a week program at 8PM ET/7PM CT, leading to The Weeknight’s bonus Monday hour to be axed.
Ana Cabrera exits the network.
Chris Jansing loses her anchoring spot, but stays with the network as its chief political reporter.
Stephanie Ruhle moves from her 11th Hour perch to take over the 9AM ET/8AM CT-11AM ET/10AM CT hours.
Ali Velshi takes over the 11th Hour chair vacated by Ruhle’s move to weekday mornings, and Jacob Soboroff takes over his weekend show (10AM ET/9AM CT-1PM ET/12PM CT).
Alicia Menendez takes over as the 12PM ET/11AM CT-2PM ET/1PM CT anchor slot.

Just to remind ourselves...
Convicted pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell desperately wants a pardon from Donald Trump.
Maxwell was interviewed in a particularly cordial way by Trump's personal attorney Todd Blanche who is now also the US Deputy Attorney General.
Maxwell was then moved to a posh low security prison.
The transcript of the Blanche-Maxwell interview was released where Maxwell claimed that she never witnessed Trump doing anything inappropriate.
On top of all this, we have the Trump distraction of the day to attempt to keep people from thinking about the Trump-Epstein scandal.
This just about broke my heart but in the best possible way. If you've got time do give it a listen, especially starting around 22:00 in
Jacob Soboroff's an MSNBC journalist out of LA. He's been heavily involved in covering immigration from the family separation in Trump's first term, up through the ICE takeover of LA and all those ICE raids. Here he talks about Narciso Barranco, whose arrest was so violent and his story so sympathetic, it broke through into the mainstream news for a bit. He's not the only one, of course, but he's a good example of what our country's doing to these people.
And there's something about the way the man presents himself in these videos Jacob shares, and how Jacob describes the way Narciso affected him at just a basic human level. When I talk about the courage to look clear-eyed at what's going on and still stay human about it? This is what I mean. I wish I had the strength to do it so well.

President Trump has cut foreign aid to Guatemala and demanded the country do more to stem migration to the United States. However, in an internal report obtained exclusively by NBC News, U.S. Customs and Border Protection found that the overwhelming factor behind the record migration is a crop shortage that left citizens impoverished and starving.
