MS NOW is cutting an hour off "Morning Joe" as part of a major programming overhaul at the liberal cable network.
Starting in June, the 9 a.m. ET hour of "Morning Joe" will be replaced with a new program hosted by Stephanie Ruhle. MS NOW insisted Wednesday the move will "further strengthen MS NOW’s lineup of trusted journalists and programming," although cutting the program hosted by Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist raises eyebrows across the media industry.
An MS NOW insider told Fox News Digital that Scarborough and Brzezinski, who are married, were tired of the physical toll that hosting four hours of television took and wanted to dial it back.
