The MSNBC hub also features next day offerings of MSNBC programming such as The ReidOut and Morning Joe. Variety first reported on the changes.


MSNBC’s hub also features originals such as The Medhi Hasan Show, The Katie Phang Show and Symone. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is joining the network in the fall and is developing a streaming series.


Maxwell has hosted the Peacock show since 2020, and also has a daily show on SiriusXM Progress. Mohyeldin has had a show on the streaming platform since last year.
