25. If primetime is defined as 8-11, who moves?

Hayes at 8, Maddow at 9, O'Donnell at 10. Chris Hayes would probably be the most likely to be moved of that group although O'Donnell only works M-Th.

If they consider Deadline:WH the start of their prime time lineup, I could see her maybe expanding backwards from 3-5 with Smith taking the 5-6 slot. Or perhaps Melber moving to 5 and Smith at 6. Or Melber and Matthews both move back an hour and Smith takes the 7PM slot. Moving Wallace's start to 3PM and moving Todd to 9AM then allows Ali Velshi to have just one show at 1PM since Stephanie Ruhle is moving over to NBC.

Rightwingers hate Shep Smith. He is a good journalist. nt tblue37 Jan 2020 #15

I didn't say they were smart about it. NBC hired Megyn Kelly too. TeamPooka Jan 2020 #16

Smith is a good guy and a good journalist. Kelly is neither. nt tblue37 Jan 2020 #17
