who is going to fill his seat at MSNBC?
I think they need to hit a home run with this? MSNBC has been some what stale and needs expand their format with a top notch anchor?

(32,025 posts)While MSNBCs standing as one of cables most-watched networks remains impressive, its Nielsen ratings in 2021 are trending in a poor direction, especially when it comes to younger viewers. Compared to the most recent quarter (Q2 21), MSNBC shed -13% in average total day viewers and -18% in the total day demo. The network also struggled in primetime, -13% in total prime-time viewers, and -19% in the prime-time demo from Q2 of this year.
Compared to Q3 2020, a quarter, whichto be fairfeatured seismic global news events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, racial justice protests and a presidential election campaign, MSNBC fell by -39% of its average total day audience, lost nearly half of of its audience in the total day demo (-48%), dropped by -40% in total prime time viewers and shed half of its audience in the prime time demo (-51%). Primetime is a crucial daypart, where TV networks set premium advertising rates.
Finally, compared to the same quarter four years ago (Q3 2017), MSNBC dropped -28% of its total prime time audience, -22% of its average total day audience, more than half of its prime time demo audience (-58%), and -56% of its audience from the total day demo.

(34,458 posts)People said he wouldnt be taken seriously as a Senator, but he was. So I think he can return to a serious anchor role.

(1,497 posts)Ali Velshi there, if he wants it. I like Brian's wit, but the dem bashing gets tiresome.
Williams did do an eloquent and moving remembrance of former senator Max Cleland the other night, where he referenced the disgraceful treatment of Cleveland by the right.
I like the way Velshi engages in a discussion where possible with a guest. Also think he's got more of a global perspective.
