MSNBC has cancelled daily political talk show Connected Coast to Coast, Broadcasting & Cable reports. The show launched in February, and originally ran twice daily, but the 5 p.m. rerun was cut in September. No show has yet been announced to fill the noon slot, but an internal staff memo from MSNBC president Rick Kaplan promised “exciting new programming.”
The show’s hosts, Monica Crowley and Ron Reagan, will remain with MSNBC in some capacity, which has yet to be determined.
This move comes shortly after the announcement of a news talk show co-hosted by Maury Povich and Connie Chung. That show will double MSNBC’s “live or topical” weekend news programming, which will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., according to the staff memo.
