MS NOW Will Expand Video Podcasts on Weekends, While Veteran Alex Witt Plans Exit

MS NOW will expand its weekend programming to include more taped video podcasts, beginning Sunday, June 28. The network will shift away from live, hosted hours after 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, dedicating more airtime to pre-recorded content. This move signifies a continued convergence between creator-driven media and traditional television news. The network is also expanding the use of a popular Saturday-night program, though specific details about this program were not provided. Concurrently, veteran anchor Alex Witt is planning to exit the network, marking a significant personnel change alongside the programming shift. Witt's departure follows a period of evolving content strategies at MS NOW.
