MS NOW Expands Weekend Content With Taped Shows, Antonia Hylton Switches Time Slot
MS NOW will shift weekend-night programming to taped podcasts and other taped content after 6 p.m. ET, following a successful Crooked Media partnership; The Weekend: Primetime ends on Saturdays, with Antonia Hylton moving to the 1–4 p.m. weekend slot. Ayman Mohyeldin, Elise Jordan and Catherine Rampell will remain, while Alex Witt is departing later this summer. The network plans more taped hours and partnerships through the summer, will keep weekend staffing for breaking-news coverage, and will continue Sky News international simulcasts; MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler says the changes come as part of a broader investment in direct-to-consumer offerings, with about 40 open positions and more than a dozen roles to be posted soon.
