MSNBC’s Daily Rundown Expanded to 2 Hours with José Díaz-Balart Hosting

MSNBC morning program The Daily Rundown is getting a huge revamp after the recent departure of its host Chuck Todd. The show is being expanded to two hours and will be hosted by MSNBC anchor José Díaz-Balart.

Díaz-Balart joined MSNBC just a few months ago and has been hosting his eponymous program in the 10 a.m. slot. But now, according to TheWrap, he will be anchoring on the cable network from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. as part of an all-new Daily Rundown.

In an internal memo, MSNBC President Phil Griffin praised Díaz-Balart: “He’s introduced new voices and a fresh perspective to our network. Thanks to his deep experience as an anchor he has the ability and flexibility to deliver dynamic coverage of breaking news events – as they develop.”

Díaz-Balart will anchor the program from Miami, starting on Monday, November 17th.
