I get it MSNBC you like talking heads.
You like solo interviews with "newsmakers" ie politicians, after lunch and in the evening.
But this is the 2nd time Now.
You have taken another host who is smart and personable, that gets successful on your network with a show based on a round table discussion with a variety of guests and "promoted" them into a boring solo talking head show.
I loved Up with Chris Hayes on the weekends but the new format does not entice me or many of those veiwers.
The same goes for the new NOW with Alex Wagner.
It's a format that works for Matthews, Rachel and O'Donnell but Hayes and Wagner can do more with the time you you have given them and as one of their fans that's what I expect.
But you are not letting them be the anchor that made me a fan of theirs in the first place!
And this is the 2nd time MSNBC so that means it's totally you, not me.
If you allow Alex and Chris to spread their wings like they have done in the past I'll fly along but now I'm just going to leave the TV off during the day again.

(31,464 posts)The new time slots are just stupid. The best people on MSNBC are relegated to time slots guaranteed to get now viewers.
BUT WAIT! Remember, MSNBC is owned by giant insurance and defense contractors. They don't actually want these people on the front lines.

(3,580 posts)I really enjoyed Wagner's show at noon and thought Up with Chris was the best political/current events show on TV. In fact, I was thinking I could adopt Chris and have him and his family over on holidays and wonderful meals and conversation.
