Ayman Mohyeldin addressed the media's focus on the cancellation of his solo show at MSNBC, asserting that it was misleading as he will not be leaving the network. Instead, he will co-host a new expanded show, which aims to cover underrepresented stories, particularly regarding the Middle East. Mohyeldin emphasized the importance of maintaining his commitment to difficult discussions despite changes in format and the introduction of new co-hosts. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to continue his tenure at MSNBC, which is set to launch in late April.
This week, several headlines claimed that my show had been canceled and that I was leaving the network, Mohyeldin said. And that incorrect news created a wave of commentary and criticism about which voices can be heard and which cannot on mainstream cable news especially when it comes to coverage of the Middle East.
I'm not leaving the network, in fact, quite the opposite. Despite the challenging and fearless ways we have covered stories on this show for more than two years, MSNBC has offered to extend my tenure at the company.
Soon this show, the name, the format will change and I will be joined by two new incredible hosts who will be announced soon enough. But one thing that won't change is my promise to you, the viewers, that I won't stop talking about the difficult stories and challenging topics that others don't cover.
MSNBC has offered me to launch a new show that gives my voice, and others, more expanded hours of coverage on Saturday and Sunday.
