TL;DR Summary
MS NOW is overhauling its weekend lineup: veteran anchor Alex Witt is leaving after 27 years and The Weekend: Primetime is being canceled, with its final episode airing June 27. Antonia Hylton will assume the 1–4 p.m. ET weekend slot later this summer, with Joy Fowlin as executive producer on the new show. The network will replace Primetime with taped programming and video podcasts while bolstering its breaking-news coverage, and other Primetime hosts will transition to new roles.
