"Al Sharpton is leaving MSNBC's weekday dayside lineup, and moving to Sunday mornings," Politico's Alex Weprin reported shortly after 7:30 Eastern this evening at CapitalNewYork.com.
The activist-cum-TV host's last Politics Nation program is slated for September 4. After a month's hiatus -- side note: wouldn't it be hilarious to see Al try to read that word off his Teleprompter? -- he'll start his Sunday morning show on October 4:
"I want to congratulate Al and his team. For four years they have done a terrific job bringing his voice and a big spotlight to issues of justice, civil rights and equality. And as many of you know, The Rev never missed a show," Griffin wrote in the email. "I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do with a Sunday morning newsmaker program."
The 6 pm hour will temporarily be filled by "MSNBC Live," the channel's weekday news program. A permanent replacement will be named "soon after" Sharpton moves, per Griffin.
Sharpton broke the news of his new timeslot to the Daily News.
“I never wanted to be a weeknight pundit. I wanted to be a Sunday morning newsmaker," he told the News. "I wanted to be Dr. Martin Luther King, not Larry King.”
Poor Al. Has he ever preached to a congregation as small as a Sunday morning MSNBC audience?

I'd be concerned about his getting a larger audience, but it's MSNBC.

Al’s ratings were weighed and found wanting.
Follow the money.

Sunday mornings? Reminds me of the Chapelle show skit where Negrodamus says Arsenio Hall (IIRC) would be getting a new TV show: “Good Morning, Black America”...that would come on at noon.
