MSNBC canceling Ayman Mohyeldin's show amid network reshuffling
MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin is losing his show after 14 years at the network, which is undergoing a programming shake up, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The host's staff learned on Monday that the last episode of Ayman Mohyeldin Reports is likely to air on 20 April.
MSNBC could not immediately be reached for comment.
Mohyeldin has hosted several shows at MSNBC, including Morning Joe First Look, an early morning pre-show for one of the network's flagship shows. In 2021, his namesake show was given a primetime weekend evening slot.
The anchor also served as a correspondent for NBC in Gaza during a monthlong conflict in 2014, where he received praise from media critics for coverage that departed from 'the standard pro-Israel coverage that dominates establishment American press coverage'.
The cancelation comes amid an ongoing reshuffling at MSNBC. Earlier this week, it was announced that MSNBC had canceled the longstanding anchor Joy Reid's show The ReidOut. The change reportedly comes as a result of a reshuffling by the network's new president, Rebecca Kutler, who took over the role in February.
Kutler, who was previously MSNBC's senior vice-president for content strategy, succeeds former MSNBC president Rashida Jones.
Chuck Todd, a prominent anchor and former host of Meet The Press, announced in January that he was leaving NBC after 18 years. The announcement followed Todd's pushback against NBC's decision to hire Ronna McDaniel, the former Republican National Committee chairperson during Donald Trump's first presidency, in March 2024. McDaniel was eventually removed from her position.
In November of last year, Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski faced backlash after meeting with Trump to discuss 'a new approach' after his election to a second presidency.
Also in November, Comcast announced plans to spin off several cable networks, including MSNBC, as the TV networks faced declining ratings, which only further declined following election fatigue.
