MSNBC’s Shocking Meltdown Unveiled—Steve Kornacki Bolts for NBC, Joy Reid Gets the Axe, and a Network Split Sparks Chaos! What’s Behind the Dramatic Exodus and Who’s Next to Fall in This TV Turmoil?
MSNBC is imploding, and as of April 10, 2025, the network’s month of chaos has fans and insiders reeling. Steve Kornacki, the khaki-clad election guru who’s been a fixture since 2013, is ditching MSNBC for NBC News and NBC Sports, while Joy Reid’s abrupt firing still stings. It’s all part of a seismic split from parent company NBCUniversal, spinning MSNBC into a new entity dubbed “SpinCo.” With a new president, a slew of layoffs, and a lineup in tatters, what’s driving this TV trainwreck—and who’s next?
Kornacki’s exit, announced April 1, stunned viewers. The 45-year-old data whiz, beloved for his “big board” breakdowns—4 million tuned in during 2020’s election night—will now crunch numbers for NBC’s Meet the Press, Nightly News, and sports like the Olympics. “We’re thrilled Steve’s staying with NBC Sports,” a spokesperson told The U.S. Sun, but his MSNBC slot’s gone, replaced by a contributor role. X lit up: “Kornacki’s out? MSNBC’s lost its soul!” Meanwhile, Antonia Hylton steps in, co-hosting The Weekend: Primetime, a move NBC calls “massive.” But it’s cold comfort amid the carnage.
Joy Reid’s ouster hit harder. Fired in February by new president Rebecca Kutler—whose January arrival followed Rashida Jones’ exit—the ReidOut host’s final show aired after a leaked audio revealed her shock. “A terrible way to learn our fate,” a staffer griped, per Status. Reid’s ratings, 1.29 million in 2024 per Nielsen, trailed peers, but fans raged on X: “Big mistake—Joy was family!” Her sign-off thanked supporters: “See you at 7, one more time.” Kutler’s promise of 100 new jobs hasn’t quelled the fury—over 60 staffers got pink slips, per The Daily Beast.
The root? Comcast’s November 2024 plan to carve MSNBC, CNBC, and others into SpinCo, a standalone giant. “A new growth trajectory,” Comcast’s Mike Cavanagh boasted, but it’s a bloodbath. Jones, the first Black woman to lead a major news network, bailed in January, citing “reflection” after a historic run. Now, Kutler’s slashing—Alex Wagner, Katie Phang, and Jonathan Capehart lost shows too, sparking cries of a “whiter, centrist” pivot, per The Guardian. X users fume: “MSNBC’s dumping its edge!” Yet, SpinCo aims for “world-class news,” banking on scale over sentiment.
At 6:21 p.m. PDT today, the fallout’s raw. Kornacki’s khakis march to NBC’s greener pastures, Reid’s plotting her next move—maybe a podcast—while MSNBC teeters. Will Rachel Maddow, the ratings queen, survive the purge? This isn’t just a shakeup; it’s a network reborn in chaos, and viewers are hooked on the drama.

Where’s her baby? She’s a mother.’ ‘Should a mother be acting like this? Grow up,’” Timpf recounted.
