The future of some major cable networks is up in the air — and even the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe are feeling the heat.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the move is part of Comcast’s effort to shift away from traditional cable TV as viewership continues to change. These networks generated around $7 billion in revenue in the 12 months ending September 30.
After Brzezinski read the report live on air, Scarborough responded with a dry sense of humor:
“I could be completely wrong: we could all be fired a year from now… or tomorrow.”
Brzezinski added, “Or tomorrow,” with a nervous laugh — hinting at the uncertain atmosphere behind the scenes.
While the tone was lighthearted, it was clear the hosts were taking the rumors seriously. The news serves as a reminder of the rapidly evolving landscape of TV and media, where even well-established shows and personalities can feel the ripple effects of corporate restructuring.
So, what’s next for Morning Joe and the rest of the NBCUniversal cable lineup? That remains to be seen — but for now, even the folks behind the desk aren’t quite sure what the future holds.
