Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT
I wanted to share with all of you some news about a realignment of our dayside coverage. Beginning after the first of the year, we are going to increase our live news coverage on the weekends. With the addition of our new program with Connie Chung and Maury Povich, we will be in live or topical news programming from 8am until 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. This more than doubles our current live weekend programming! In order to accomplish this, we will be shifting some resources in the coming month. After a year of great programs, "Connected: Coast to Coast" will have it's final telecast on Friday, December 9. I'm very proud of this program and the work of Ron, Monica and Sharon Newman and their entire team. They brought smart coverage and internet reporting to cable news and set a very high standard of coverage. As for the future of that time slot we'll have some exciting new programming at noon which we'll be announcing soon. The weekend of December 17th will mark the final airings of MSNBC at the Movies and MSNBC Entertainment Hot List. I want to thank Sharon Tay, Scott Leon and his team for all their hard work on the program over the last year. They did a terrific job and we should all be very proud of what they accomplished.
AAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK chung and povich?????????????
She's got great TV presence and I hope she gets a chance on another station without a dead weight as a partner.
MSNBC should have let Ron go and allowed Monica to go solo. How Imus keeps that job is beyond me. What a cut-throat business.
If anyone should go it's Matthews. He's in need of drug rehab, IMO.
That is what email is for.
Olberman too...
Yeah, those are great shows - you learn about heredity, statistics, psychology, and other stuff.
I bet you enjoy Springer, too, just like me! LOL
I'm surprised this show lasted that long .. if you go to tvnewser.com they show the ratings collpase even in the beginning. What's sad is that the show that was on before Connected took the 12pm slot had higher ratings .. and that was just anchors at a desk yabbing away the same news every 15 minutes!
In all honesty this show deserved to be canned .. Ron Reagan is no Reagan, he is an embarassment to the family. Heck, Michael Reagan is more of a blood Reagan than Ronny boy. May Ron Reagan Sr. finally RIP.
If there ever was a case for an abortion, he would be it.
Your lungs must feel great every single day.
bttt
Tee hee

I'd have the intern tell Imus the pink slip news. "Good morning, Brett, run over to Imus and tell him his sorry ass is fired and he must clear his desk by noon." Then I'd watch it go down on security cams . . . |
MSNBC
