It sounds like MSNBC is ready to jettison it's entire afternoon lineup, according to Mediaite.
The shows they intend to cut include: "The Cycle", "Now with Alex Wagner" and "The Ed Show".
The article doesn't say what is taking the place of the first two, but it appears that Chuck Todd will be given the 5pm slot (4pm Central time) now held by Ed Schultz, and that they will be taking more of a "news" approach rather an opinion approach.
