The future of some major cable networks is up in the air — and even the hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe are feeling the heat.
On a recent episode, co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski addressed reports that Comcast is planning to spin off its NBCUniversal-owned cable channels, which include MSNBC, CNBC, USA, E!, Syfy, and more.
According to The Wall Street Journal, the move is part of Comcast’s effort to shift away from traditional cable TV as viewership continues to change. These networks generated around $7 billion in revenue in the 12 months ending September 30.
After Brzezinski read the report live on air, Scarborough responded with a dry sense of humor.
