Such moves would be a signal that MSNBC will retain its progressive bent in the spin off. The network saw an audience drop following the 2024 election, but there has been an uptick since Donald Trump’s inauguration, with Rachel Maddow returing to a five-night-a-week format for the first 100 days of the new administration.

MSNBC is poised to give more screen time to Jen Psaki and 'The Weekend' trio of Michael Steele, Alicia Melendez and Symone Sanders-Townshend

New MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler is eying an expanded role for network breakout Jen Psaki and for "The Weekend" hosts Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele, TheWrap has learned.

Jen Psaki will host MSNBC’s 9 p.m. ET program on Tuesdays through Thursdays once "The Rachel Maddow Show" returns to only airing on Mondays following President Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Jen Psaki, the former Biden White House press secretary who has become a favorite at MSNBC since joining in 2023, will get even more screen time in front of viewers in April when she takes over the network's 9 p.

The network also canceled several other programs and expanded others, leaving a number of on-air personalities to shift to new roles.
