0:00On March 30, MSNBC just snagged Peter Alexander, the veteran NBC news anchor, to lead their 11 a.m. hour as chief national reporter. Rebecca Kuhler, the network president, dropped the news to staff on March 30, with changes kicking in come June. This fits into bigger shakeups at the network. Morning Joe, with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzynski locked in through 2029, shrinks to 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Stephanie Roolslides and to 9 to 11 a.m. And Alicia Menendez takes over a noon, both moving up from evening gigs. Alexander, 49, said goodbye to NBC after 22 years to prioritize family. He's got a wife, Allison Starling and two daughters, 12 year old Ava and 10 year old Emma back in DC, while his New York work kept him away over 80 nights and seven months alone. He got real about missing 200 Friday nights over seven years, wanting balance before his girls outgrow dad time. Sounded pumped for a fresh challenge too.

1:02Sources whisper, NBC nudged him out, chasing a younger, flashier, more diverse vibe that didn't match his style anymore. Keeps the cable news game evolving fast. Stay in the know with entertainment and celebrity news today, AI powered updates.
