MSNBC is undergoing a significant programming overhaul, leading to the dismissal of much of the production crew for The Rachel Maddow Show. This change comes as Rachel Maddow shifts to a five-night-a-week schedule in response to the Trump administration's first 100 days while Joy Reid exits after her last episode of The ReidOut. Despite the layoffs, MSNBC claims they are not indicative of broader layoffs. Maddow expressed disappointment over both Reid's exit and the production cuts, emphasizing the impact on her team and the strategic misjudgment behind these changes.
"Dozens of producers and staffers, including most of my crew, are being let go due to programming changes, and I believe that’s a significant miscalculation."
"It’s hard to lose Joy Reid as a colleague, and I personally think it’s a bad mistake to let her walk out the door."
