MS NOW announced Wednesday it is cutting an hour from Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski’s show “Morning Joe” as part of a drastic overhaul of the beleaguered network’s programming under chief Rebecca Kutler.

Starting in June, viewers will notice a slew of changes across MS NOW’s morning, daytime, primetime and weekend coverage, Kutler told staffers during a daily editorial call Wednesday morning.

Despite notching its most-watched month in February since the 2024 presidential election, the network – previously MSNBC – announced it is returning “Morning Joe” to a three-hour format, from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET, down from its current four-hour time slot.

What's wrong with one hour? Or even better, no hour.

They already have it, just by another name.
