Whoa: Maddow heading for MSNBC's exits -- in an election year?

Color me skeptical, especially given the timing. Rachel Maddow provides the linchpin to MSNBC’s prime time and its election coverage. Even so, the Daily Beast reports that Maddow may hit the road just as Democrats prepare to defend their razor-thin control of Congress in Joe Biden’s first midterms.

Coincidence? Maaaaybeee …

Quote
According to six people familiar with the situation, Maddow, 48, is seriously considering leaving the network when her contract ends early next year as negotiations drag on and the temptation to take her brand elsewhere or start her own lucrative media company has grown.

Insiders who spoke with The Daily Beast said while the star host has occasionally entertained other offers in the past, she has in recent months increasingly expressed openness to exiting when her deal ends, citing a desire to spend more time with her family and the toll of hosting a nightly program since 2008.

Serious? Maybe, but it could be a contract negotiation tactic, "Make me an offer I can't refuse." I'd love for MadCow to learn the hard way the wisdom of, "Never make a threat you aren't willing to carry out!"

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Is her contract up for renewal or renegotiation?  Trying to capitalize on Kassie Hunt's departure?

Maddow's ratings are like the smartest guy on the short bus.

Even so, that will all but sink MSNBC.

Yes, they'll be down there with CNN. But maybe she's going to go to CNN. That wouldn't surprise me at all.

What do they mean, "in an election year?" It's a midterm next year. Every other year is an election year by that standard.

I thought Maddow was a woman.  She is a trans?

I never watched her show once, not even out of curiosity.  The clips on Fox always had her as a fruitcake.  Speaking of Fox, she would be perfect for them with their new format of expanding their fruitcake operatives.  I mean, who would ever have guessed they would hire Donna Brazile.  Uggh!!!

CNN fails to snag MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, as ratings-challenged, all-male primetime lineup continues.

The left-wing network st ar extended her contract with MSNBC and NBCUniversal, singing a new multi-year agreement on Friday that will allow her to develop other projects in partnership with the company while she continues to host "The Rachel Maddow Show." The news was first reported by former NBC News media reporter Claire Atkinson for Business Insider and has since been confirmed to Fox News by a person familiar with the matter.


You know she is looking more like Joe Scarburrow every day.

Rachel Maddow signs multiyear deal to expand her role to "studio boss"

Rachel Maddow reached a multiyear deal with NBCUniversal that takes her from being MSNBC show host to content brand and "studio boss," as a source put it.

Why it matters: On top of "The Rachel Maddow Show," she'll run an as-yet-unnamed production company that could include books, documentaries, movies, TV series and podcasts.

    Much of the output will be nonfiction. But her empire includes anything where she's "a purveyor of great storytelling," the source said.

The big picture: Maddow's renewal marks a major win for new NBCUniversal News Group Chairman Cesar Conde, Axios' Sara Fischer reports.
