Will you starve for Chris Hayes, Melissa Harris-Perry, or Martin Bashir during the Olympics?

Alex Witt is the only weekend MSNBC host to survive the Olympic invasion of MSNBC for the next three or so weeks. Basically tomorrow starting at 7am (ET) after Witt, MSNBC will show "Soccer, Beach Volleyball, Handball, Fencing, Badminton, Table Tennis" all live according to zap2it.com followed by a Rachel Maddow replay at 5. Then on weekdays Olympic coverage will be 9am-6pm (ET) then the regular nights with Al, Chris, Ed, Rachel, and Lawrence. Of course that means the MSNBC daytime hosts including Martin Bashir get to vacation for a few weeks.

I never have time to watch any MSNBC shows but might look thru the Chris Hayes video archives sometime this weekend.

Oh yeah, if you'd rather watch the news during daytime rather than the Olympics during the next three weeks and do not like CNN (and if you wanna watch Fox Boobs either go to that other forum or try to debunk the RW talking points)...here's a live stream of the BBC World News channel (Quicktime format) rtsp://media8.lsops.net/live/bbcworld1_en_veryhigh.sdp

And it's so liberating to not spend more hours than I already spend stewing in the bottomless quagmire. Egad!

There's Bill Press and Stephanie Miller till noon weekdays. Bill Press is SO preferable to Lori Klausutis' coverup guy on msnbc.

Rachel and the rest of the primetime players are STILL on every night, unless an olympic event drifts long overtime.
