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.

MSNBC loses its election oracle in breakup with NBC News
America's favorite election night crush has a new job in television. Steve Kornacki, the glasses-wearing, khaki-donning data whiz whose spins in charge of MSNBC's 'big board' made him a star of the channel's election night broadcasts, is headed to NBC News, the network confirmed to POLITICO Tuesday. There, he'll serve as a contributor, working on 'Meet the Press' while also providing broader political and sports coverage. Kornacki's exit is a key domino in the split between MSNBC and NBC News, with corporate owner Comcast working to spin off select cable assets into a new and independent, publicly traded cable television business dubbed 'SpinCo.' That's been messiest for NBC News and its cable counterpart MSNBC, with the two often sharing journalists and resources. Prior to the divorce, Kornacki worked as a national political correspondent at both the networks. Kornacki's profile and portfolio have grown in recent years. A sports nut, he's taken on roles on the network's 'Sunday Night Football' show and helped helm its coverage of horse racing, and has even appeared on the Thanksgiving broadcast of the National Dog Show. And before the 2024 election, he began working on a recurring segment breaking down data with 'Meet the Press' anchor Kristen Welker. MSNBC is now standing up an expanded newsgathering operation, with plans to hire over 100 journalists under the direction of Scott Matthews, the network's recently installed senior vice president of newsgathering. MSNBC announced Tuesday that Antonia Hylton will be moving from NBC News to cable, where she'll co-host 'The Weekend: Primetime,' which will launch in early May. But Kornacki's future will be at 30 Rock.
