Gail Shister | Anchor's move from Fox to MSNBC a two-sided tale
By Gail Shister

.... Cosby will serve as a special correspondent until her show - no title yet - premieres in the fourth quarter, MSNBC says.

No time slot, but look for her weeknights at 11, bumping reruns of that day's 7 p.m. Hardball, with Chris Matthews.

The rest of the lineup - Keith Olbermann at 8, Tucker Carlson (eventually) at 9, Joe Scarborough at 10 - is expected to stay. MSNBC is stuck in third in the cable news ratings, behind CNN and prime-time leader FNC.

Cosby, who anchored FNC programs at 9 p.m. Saturdays and 6 p.m. Sundays, wanted to break into weeknights. Its powerful lineup, including Bill O'Reilly and Shepard Smith, wasn't going anywhere. ....

Competing with her old shop "is going to be interesting," says Cosby, who'll be up against O'Reilly reruns at 11 p.m. "I've always believed that you just work your heart out and do the best you can, and not think about the other guys."

1. Excellent News. Variety is reporting the exact same thing this morning

Keith at 8pm, Tucker Carlson at 9pm, Joe "Intern Killer" Scarborough at 10pm, followed by Rita Cosby at 11pm. My guess is that MSNBC would then repeat the 7pm-11pm shows again, beginning at midnight, which would push the re-air of Countdown to 1am Eastern (10pm West Coast).

2. As long as KO stays where he is I'm OK with it

She had no credibility on Faux & will have none on MSGOP. My TV will go off after KO as it usually does. Tucker "I wish I were Ann Coulter" Carlson, and Joe Scab-bro are worthless too.
