Beloved sports and political news personality has a new home
The media business has been in a constant state of flux for over 20 years now as the digital revolution of the early 21st century has changed the way we consume media. While print media was the first segment to experience this dramatic shift, television programming, both broadcast and cable, has undergone an even more dramatic shift over the past ten years. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter After decades of poor customer service, ridiculous price increases, and decreasing quality of shows, 10 years ago, Americans finally had enough. Since 2014, cable and satellite television providers have lost over 20 million U.S. subscribers. This revolution has been aided by the emergence of streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney, and Max. But new data from eMarketer suggests the exodus will only get larger. Related: Comcast flags an alarming shift in consumer behavior By 2026, an estimated 80 million U.S. households are expected to have cut off cable, while global streaming subs are expected to climb to 1.68 billion by 2027. More than 50% of cord-cutters say they miss nothing about cable TV, and 30% of those who still have the service say they are likely to cancel. NBC/Getty Images In this environment, companies built on cable, like Comcast (CMCSA) , which owns NBCUniversal, are particularly vulnerable. Related: Fox News gets huge 'bump' from a wave of surprising viewers After years of losing the battle against cable attrition, Comcast recently announced plans to break up its cable programming empire, spinning off its 24-hour cable channels, MSNBC and CNBC. Comcast will continue on with NBC News and NBC Sports. Comcast's move is similar to Fox, which saw the writing on the wall years ago when it sold its movie studio and most of its broadcast television properties to Disney while keeping Fox News and Fox Sports. Amid the Comcast shakeup, the future for many cable on-air personalities is up in the air. However, one major contributor already knows where he is landing. Steve Kornacki, who has made a name for himself analyzing election data and breaking it down into bite-sized pieces, is leaving MSNBC for a new deal with NBC News and NBC Sports, according to the Los Angeles Times. Related: Comcast is about to look a lot different: What it means for you The 45-year-old political vet has been building his sports bona fides in recent years, becoming part of the NBC Sports Football Night in America program in 2020. Kornacki has also been a part of NBC's horse racing and Olympics coverage. While Kornacki's future with the company seems strong, Comcast's own future is much more bleak. During the company's January earnings call, President Mike Cavanagh said Comcast lost 139,000 broadcast subscribers last year, nearly 40% more than the 100,000 it was forecast to lose. They blamed the decline on the discontinuation of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which ended last February. This government program provided eligible households with a discount of up to $30 a month for internet service. They also noted that Comcast, which offers internet under the name Xfinity, is facing "intense" competition in the broadband sector, specifically in fiber internet, since its competitors have larger coverage areas. Comcast shares were down 0.3% to $36.28 shortly after the opening trading bell Wednesday.

Beloved Reporter Dubbed The ‘Crown Jewel' Of Election Coverage Is Leaving MSNBC
Many MSNBC viewers will miss that khaki attitude. Exuberant stat wonk Steve Kornacki, known for his energetic poll breakdowns and sometimes his Gap khaki pants, has signed with NBC as the network prepares to separate from MSNBC, an NBC rep confirmed to Deadline on Tuesday. Kornacki's roll-up-your-sleeves analysis of data became a staple of election coverage on both NBC and MSNBC, but the latter is joining a distinct corporate entity under parent company Comcast. So Kornacki will not be doing work for MSNBC, The Los Angeles Times reported. He will continue his network duties of probing the numbers in polls, elections and sports. And if history is any indication, perhaps he'll still be sniffing out the trends of dog shows as well. Kornacki has been analyzing elections for NBC and MSNBC since 2014 and was dubbed the 'crown jewel' of their coverage by NBC Universal. It isn't often that a cable news channel must deal with the loss of a worker who made People's 'Sexiest Man Alive' list. An MSNBC rep told the L.A. Times that the cable channel is hiring dozens of reporters, including one to fill Kornacki's spot, as the corporate split nears. The channel experienced a post-election ratings dip and fired an estimated 100 people. It also made headlines by canceling the show of host Joy Reid, whose departure prompted star anchor Rachel Maddow to scold MSNBC on the air.

Kornacki moves from MSNBC to NBC
National political correspondent and data guru Steve Kornacki is leaving MSNBC to join NBC News as an on-air analyst full time, according to multiple reports. Kornacki will pop up regularly on 'NBC Nightly News,' 'Today' and the network's other programs to break down polling, elections modeling and other data as part of the new gig, The Hollywood Reporter reported. He is also expected to contribute to NBC Sports for major showcases like 'Sunday Night Football' and the network's coverage of the NBA and other leagues. The Hill has contacted NBC News for confirmation on Kornacki's switch. The veteran analyst and his 'big board' have been a staple on MSNBC for years, particularly on election nights and as part of the network's prime-time political coverage. MSNBC is seeking to build out its newsgathering operation ahead of plans by its parent company, Comcast, to spin off its cable assets this year. The cable network announced on Tuesday it had tapped Antonia Hylton from NBC News to join the channel as a correspondent and Co-Host of 'The Weekend: Primetime.' Kornacki has been with MSNBC since before the 2012 election. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
