MS Now has announced a new weekday programming lineup set to debut on June 15, featuring a morning show hosted by Stephanie Ruhle and a two-hour slot for Alicia Menendez. The changes mark a shift away from the 'Reports' branding previously used under MSNBC, with shows now titled Katy Tur Reports and Ana Cabrera Reports to emphasise a news-centric focus.
Ruhle's programme, titled Money, Power, Politics with Stephanie Ruhle, will air from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. ET, replacing the fourth hour of Morning Joe and Cabrera's show. Patrick McMenamin serves as executive producer. The title reflects Ruhle's role as both anchor and the network's senior business analyst. Cabrera has announced plans to leave the network.
Menendez will host On the Line with Alicia Menendez at noon ET, with Marti Hause as executive producer. At 2 p.m. ET, The Moment with Katy Tur will air, with Aaron Volkman continuing as executive producer. Luke Russert will join Symone Sanders Townsend and Michael Steele on The Weeknight at 7 p.m. ET, with Kyle Griffin as executive producer. Ali Velshi anchors The 11th Hour with Ali Velshi at 11 p.m. ET, with Rebekah Dryden as executive producer.
All shows are based in New York except The Weeknight, which originates from Washington, D.C. On weekends, Connect with Jacob Soboroff will air from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET on Saturdays and Sundays, debuting June 13, based in Los Angeles with Dina Moss as executive producer. A debut date for the 11 a.m. weekday show anchored by Peter Alexander, who left NBC News in March, is yet to be announced.
