I think Stephanie Ruhle will attract daytime viewers. I love Velshi and I’m glad they are giving him her 11 pm slot.

1. Hope the changes work - their daytime line up sucks big time

I like Velshi

2. 'It is family': The Weeknight will say goodbye to Alicia and welcome Luke Russert as co-host - The Weeknight - MS NOW

With the midterms approaching and an eye already on 2028, some programming changes are brewing at MS NOW! Starting in June, Alicia Menendez takes the helm of a new weekday show from 12 to 2 p.m. ET, while Luke Russert joins Symone Sanders-Townsend and Michael Steele at The Weeknight table. We’re excited for what’s ahead! Be sure to tune in. - Aired on 03/18/2026.

3. I'm glad they are going to improve the daytime line up with Alicia - she is smart and professional.

I like Velshi's long format on the weekends, however. He does such a great job with the "deep dives" and thorough analysis. He facilitates great discussions with the geeky types.

I will be glad to see Stephanie replace Ana Cabrera. I don't think anyone would mind if Katy Tur were replaced - her both sidesism is annoying.

I know she is popular with some, but I would like to see Symone removed from the weeknight show. She talks too much, and takes too long to get to a questions. And I find her voice shrill.

Here are my other requests. Please get rid of Alyse Jordan - what exactly does she have to offer? She is robotic and shallow. And while we're at it - Catherine Rampell was better at sharing expertise than sharing a host table. She is too argumentative. I think Ayman and Antonia Hilton can carry the weekend show by themselves.

I am glad they are giving Jacob Soboroff the regular gig on the weekends where Velshi was. Soboroff deserves a regular gig.

You know who should get a regular gig? I like Michelle Norris. She is smart and informed, and she has a great demeanor...and a voice meant for broadcast.

I know - I watch a lot of MSNOW.

5. Agree with you about Alyse and Symone.

Both are unwatchable.

6. I actually yell at the tv - shut up Symone.

MSNOW, if you're listening - replace her w/ Michelle Norris. That would make the 7 pm hour a very savvy group ensconced in politics.
