The cable channel has inked new long-term deals with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Axios, which first reported on the deal, says the contracts will run through the end of 2029. The new deal keeps the power duo, and arguably two of its most powerful on-air personalities, on the channel past the 2028 election. Not bad for a show that was originally a fill-in program when it launched on MSNBC nearly 20 years ago in 2007. That temporary show has since become a flagship of MS NOW’s lineup.

Cutting back on the on-air hours will allow them to develop more ideas. “When you’re in General Electric or Comcast, there’s layer after layer after layer,” Scarborough said. “What CEO Mark is so excited about, and what Rebecca is so excited about, and what I’m now really excited about is how entrepreneurial they’re going to be.” THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day Subscribe Sign Up More from The Hollywood Reporter Series Mania Nordic Power Player: NRK Drama Chief Marianne Furevold-Boland on ‘SKAM,’ Risk-Taking and Why TV Needs More ...
