MSNBC will (not) get rid of prez and live daytime programs

rick kaplanAOL's gossip site TMZ reported that MSNBC was planning to get rid of all of its live daytime programming and replace them with pre-taped shows. Also, President Rick Kaplan would be given the boot. There was really no evidence given for this huge change, other than the fact that Fox News and CNN tend to garner heavier ratings with their daytime shows. I guess that's why they call it "gossip." After the report was filed, MSNBC contacted TMZ to let them know that their live daytime coverage would not be going anywhere, and that Kaplan would still remain. The network called the accusations "ridiculous and wrong on every level."

I used to enjoy MSNBC when they had the live show, Connected with Ron Reagan and Monica Crowley. They explored some interesting and important issues. I'm sorry they're gone, but I'm glad MSNBC isn't scrapping all its live daytime programs.
