Al Sharpton’s Top MSNBC Producer Jumps Ship

Al Sharpton is losing the creator and executive producer of his MSNBC show.

After a 12-year tenure with MSNBC, PoliticsNation executive producer Matt Saal is leaving for an executive producing gig at Bloomberg TV later this month.

Before launching Sharpton’s show in 2011, Saal served as a co-executive producer for The Rachel Maddow Show and, his first job with the NBC family was as co-creator and senior producer for weekly roundtable show The Chris Matthews Show. At another point in his tenure, Saal served as the executive producer for The Abrams Report, which was hosted by Mediaite’s founder Dan Abrams.
