Joy Reid will exit MSNBC with the changes, while José Díaz-Balart and Katie Phang will also lose their dayside hours.

The changes are being spearheaded by recently-appointed MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler, who is betting on names that are well-liked in Democratic and left-leaning circles to help the cable channel continue its rebound from a post-election viewer exodus.

MSNBC on Monday announced a major overhaul to its primetime lineup that will go into effect in April — and see Joy Reid part ways with the network — even as it shared it will establish its own Washington bureau.
