Ed Schultz Leaving MSNBC Weeknights, Moving To Weekends

By Anjali Sareen and Jack Mirkinson

MSNBC's Ed Schultz announced on his Wednesday show that he would be leaving his 8 p.m. weeknight time slot. Schultz will move "The Ed Show" to the weekends, where it will air from 5 to 7 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. Thursday night's show will be his last. His weekend show will begin in April.

...

Schultz presented the move as one he volunteered for, though previous reports have suggested that MSNBC was looking to replace him.

“I raised my hand for this assignment for a number of personal and professional reasons," he said. "My fight on 'The Ed Show' has been for the workers and the middle class. This new time slot will give me the opportunity to produce and focus on stories that I care about and are important to American families and American workers." He added that he did not want to spend all of his time "sitting behind this desk five nights a week."

MSNBC president Phil Griffin said he was "thrilled" for the host. "It’s an exciting time for MSNBC, and I’m looking forward to having Ed’s powerful voice on our network for a long time," he said.

Schultz may have more time to travel the country, but the shifting of his show to weekends is a clear demotion. The 8 PM cable news slot is one of the biggest prizes in prime time, home to marquee names like Bill O'Reilly and Anderson Cooper. MSNBC has been building up its weekend programming, but it is simply a less prestigious time period.

Seriously. I hated the garbage he would endlessly spew on his radio/tv show, but the drone issue took it to a new level. He relentlessly advocated for executing american's on foreign soil (no judge no jury). Just disgusting.

Chris Hayes will take over the 8 p.m. time slot on MSNBC in the next month, the channel announced on Thursday morning, the day after the current host of that hour, Ed Schultz, said he was moving from the weekdays to the weekends.

Mr. Hayes, a liberal intellectual [<-- LOL]who has hosted a well-regarded weekend morning program on MSNBC for the past 18 months, is a protégé of Rachel Maddow, the highest-rated host on the channel. On April 1 he will become the lead-in for her 9 p.m. program, “The Rachel Maddow Show.”

MSNBC is keeping its trend as the Obama Channel. Schultz was a populist, midwestern liberal while Obama and Schultz's replacement (to go along with the rest of the lineup) will be one of those "intelligent" types from the coast. It still baffles me how we can't turn the midwest (Michigan+Wisconsin) red.

Heartland liberal Ed Schultz is losing his prime-time show on MSNBC.

Schultz will be replaced weeknights by Chris Hayes, whose talk show, "Up,"
has been a weekend morning mainstay on the MSNBC schedule since 2011. It begins April 1.

It's a ton o' fun to throw this little pic into a gun grab fest...

Rachel Maddow at the Westside Pistol & Rifle Range

She's America's leading lefty wonk, complete with chunky glasses, Ph.D., and a deep faith in activist government. But Rachel Maddow is also, a little unexpectedly, totally into guns. Which is how come she ended up at the Westside Pistol & Rifle Range in Manhattan for a recent Rolling Stone photo shoot. (Maddow is profiled by Ben Wallace-Wells in the current issue of the magazine.) "I used to bring my radio producers," she says in this clip. "Everyone here's really nice."

This is a good one... beside Vivendi buying NBC, after CHUCKO fades on the weekends, he'll be cancelled out completely... easing him to the retirement home.

Maybe he'll take Lawrence O'Donnell with him. Oh heck, what do I care? It's not like I watch any of them anyway. The only problem is that they make the progressive movement appear larger than it actually is.

Tonight a diner I was in at 5pm ET had on Hardball with Cris Matthews which sported a visual with
GOP as an acronym for Guns Over People -

Hardball and all those MSNBC shows get rerun later every night, in case anyone wants to tube it.
Some people believe the bullsheeeet they spew out on MSNBC unfortunately.
