Rachel Maddow is taking a hiatus from her MSNBC show

LA Times  

Rachel Maddow, MSNBC’s most popular prime-time host, is taking a two-month hiatus from her nightly program starting next week. But the clock is clearly ticking for MSNBC executives who need to find a replacement for the progressive-leaning news channel’s top-rated talent, whose program is the tent pole for its prime time lineup. Maddow’s anticipated departure comes amid ongoing changes at the channel, which battles CNN for second place in the ratings behind Fox News. The network also is adding another hour of opinion programming as “Morning Joe,” hosted by Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist, expands to four hours to absorb Ruhle’s current 9 a.m. Eastern hour.
