MSNBC has signed Chris Matthews to a new, long-term contract with the channel, TVNewser has learned.

As part of the new deal, however, he will be ending “The Chris Matthews Show,” a syndicated public affairs show produced out of the NBC News DC bureau. The final edition of the program will air July 21. The half-hour show typically aired on Sunday mornings, though not every local market carried it. The show has been produced by NBC since 2002.

You mean Chris Mathews was FIRED? I thought he was a lifer over at MSNBC.

No. He signed a long term contract. They canned his half hour Sunday morning show that absolutely nobody watched but Hardball will still be on. Bad joke that it is...

There are other incentives in his contract. Such as - $10.00 per viewer. At an average of 6.7 viewers per day he stands to make another $67.00 per day.

Why would anyone enter into a long term contract with a drunk?

That article was written during the election cycle. Their ratings are tanking now. CNN has gained on them
