Joy-Ann Reid’s Show Canceled


By Chris Ariens on Feb. 19, 2015 - 2:20 PM

As part of broader upcoming changes to MSNBC’s dayside programming, TVNewser has learned Joy Ann-Reid‘s 2pmET show “The Reid Report” will be canceled. Reid joined MSNBC as a contributor in 2011 and was given her own show as the result of the last programming shake-up in early 2014.

An internal source at MSNBC tells us Reid will stay with the network contributing to TV programs and digital platforms.

1. Awwww, I enjoyed her show.

Guess it's John Fugelsang on Sirius 121 at 11am now.

2. Ronan Farrow

I think he'll be next to get the ax. I hope they keep Chris Hayes. I know he's not the prototypical prime time host, but his show is good.

[mfcorey1]

13. They axed him too. I really enjoyed Reid's show.

[babylonsister]

14. Yep, Farrow is also gone...

MSNBC Cancels Ronan Farrow’s Show Along with Joy Reid’s
by Matt Wilstein | 5:26 pm, February 19th, 2015 10

In addition to canceling Joy Reid‘s daytime show The Reid Report, which MSNBC sources confirmed to Mediaite earlier today, the network is also canceling Ronan Farrow’s show and moving Way Too Early’s Thomas Roberts back to a dayside role, anchoring a straight news show from 1-3 p.m. ET daily.

Neither Reid nor Farrow have been fired by the network. Reid will become MSNBC’s national correspondent, producing original reporting for on air and online programming. Farrow is expected to host a new series of primetime specials for MSNBC and will be featured as a special correspondent across the network’s schedule.

The change in daytime programming represents a conscious shift by the network away from more opinionated hosts and towards a more news-focused lineup. Following Morning Joe, José Díaz-Balart’s show will air for two hours starting at 9 a.m., followed by Tamron Hall at 11, Andrea Mitchell at 12 and then Roberts from 1-3 p.m. each day.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will fill in for Roberts on Way Too Early until a more permanent replacement is found.

Earlier this month, Farrow’s show hit a new low in the 25-54 demo ratings with just 11,000 viewers. During the same hour, Fox led with 202K and CNN had 154K. Even Al Jazeera America topped MSNBC with 22K. While it has rated slightly better than Ronan Farrow Daily over the past year, The Reid Report has also struggled of late, routinely trailing CNN and Fox by large margins.

16. I've never seen either show but I'm sorry to hear this

Especially about Joy, since she's the one I've seen on other people's programs. Darn.

And more bad news from what you posted--I LOVE LOVE LOVE Al Jazeera and couldn't believe it only has 22K viewers during Ronan's time slot--so I googled it and apparently the network is in real trouble.

Anybody lucky enough to get Al Jazeera America in their cable package should give it a shot--I think it's excellent. The documentaries are amazing--the one called "Borderlands" was hugely eye-opening.

But back to Joy--darn, darn, darn. She's really good.

3. Put her in Mourning Joe's spot

And kick Mika off too. Joy doesn't need a poodle.

[monmouth4]

4. My fear is they would do an hour repeat of MoJoe in her time slot...n/t

[Politicalboi]

5. Yeah or

Tweety.

[oldandhappy]

6. I am sorry to learn this.

I have seen her on the evening shows as a guest commentator. I have liked her. I am not able to watch her regular show in the day time. (I am on the west coast.) I hope there will be another slot for her.

[Vinca]

7. Oh, no. I really like Joy Reid.

[Tarheel_Dem]

8. Sorry to hear this. I DVR'd her show daily.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

9. She was my favorite

Her fast-talking, quick thinking commentary always seemed to have an original twist to it. Oh well.

[kentuck]

10. I watched Joy's show...

I thought she was one of the best on their network.

[kelliekat44]

22. Guess that is why she was cancelled. Let's do a write-in or swamp them with e-mails expressing our

disgust.

[Rhinodawg]

11. No!!!!

darn

[greatlaurel]

12. That is really too bad. I figured she would get canned after she stood up to O'Donnell.

Her statement on the Lawrence O'Donnell show over the ridiculous media screaming about President's prayer breakfast speech. was an example of bravery and honor in the media. Her voice was a refreshing note of clarity and sanity. Nearly every other video media person, particularly on MSNBC. were screaming the most vile religious bigotry propaganda. I thing her refusing to criticize President Obama other that cost her her show. she is a person of immense integrity. i will miss her show.

15. Comcast's propaganda arm is moving employees around.

I care so much.

[kelliekat44]

21. Do we need to boycott Comcast? Are they going to be the death of a well-informed pubic? nt

[malaise]

17. Joy has a good show

They should have cancelled Morning Joe (dead girl in office) Scum

[winstars]

18. Instead they give Scum an additional half hour? At least for the time being.

Thank God I live on the West coast and can easily miss the killer, time wise...

[olddots]

19. I'm glad I get my news here

Hope none of us get canceled .

All in all MSNBC has been a breath of fresh air but it may be getting polluted .

[kelliekat44]

20. Any intelligent TV discussion program is killed. The public wants Jerry Springer and FOX... nt
