Article on Rita Cosby leaves Countdown in the 8 p.m. slot!

:bounce:

Cosby will serve as a special correspondent until her show -- no title yet -- premieres in the fourth quarter, MSNBC says.

No time slot, but look for her weeknights at 11, bumping reruns of that day's 7 p.m. Hardball.

The rest of the lineup -- Keith Olbermann at 8, Tucker Carlson (eventually) at 9, Joe Scarborough at 10 -- is expected to stay. MSNBC is stuck in third in the cable news ratings, behind CNN and prime time leader Fox News.

1. amen, hallelujah!

We probably got all paranoid about nothing -- after all, why would they spend all that $$$ on advertising Countdown just to move it -- but IMO supportive emails and letters never hurt! :)

Who's spinning whom?

This much is beyond dispute: Former Fox News Channel weekender Rita Cosby will join MSNBC in mid-June to anchor a daily evening program, MSNBC said Friday.
