MEET the Press is soon going to be taken off MSNBC.
However, Chuck Todd’s hit show is only getting moved to a new timeslot and platform: NBC News Now.
Meet the Press with Chuck Todd will officially be moved from MSNBC to NBC News Now.
According to a press release by NBC, the change comes as a result of the Network’s expanding investment in a streaming service with live coverage.
Meet the Press Now, anchored by Todd, will stream at 4pm ET Monday through Friday.
The show will be available to stream starting Monday, June 6, 2022.

Todd’s Meet the Press Daily has been running since 2015 and only mode to the early afternoon timeslot in 2020.
With the timeslot change for Meet the Press Now, the Network has decided to fill the usual 1pm show.
Chris Jansing, a veteran journalist, will take over the 1pm hour with MSNBC Reports.
The change will officially be made on May 26, 2022.
Todd, 50, has been involved in politics and news for a long time.
He worked for the 1992 presidential campaign of Senator Tom Harkin, who is a Democrat, in college. Now, he works for Meet the Press, which AllSides says has a “lean left” bias.
Based on his history of working for political campaigns and networks like MSNBC, which tends to skew left in coverage, it’s likely that he is a Democrat, however, it’s not clear what Todd’s registered political affiliation is.
Todd moderated the first of the 2020 Democratic Party presidential debates along with Jose Diaz-Balart, Savannah Guthrie, Lester Holt, and Rachel Maddow, and Maddow, at least, is considered to be a fairly liberal political commentator.
But again, that doesn’t confirm Todd’s own political feelings or registration.
As a longtime political commentator and host of political news TV shows, Todd has had a lot to say about politics over the years.
On Meet the Press in June 2015, Todd said, “It’s hard not to get down on the government when you see dysfunction play out on our TVs every day. Frankly, sometimes at every level of government.”

In August 2020, Todd was also criticized by some people for having a Republican as part of a panel discussion with more liberal journalists.
It seems like Todd is willing to speak to and criticize both sides of the aisle, no matter his official political affiliation.
