Most of MSNBC star Rachel Maddow’s production staff, as well as employees who worked on Joy Reid’s show and other recently canceled programs, will be let go as part of the liberal cable news network’s sweeping lineup changes, two sources familiar with the matter told The Independent.
Notably, much of the Maddow staff impacted are shared employees across the Alex Wagner Tonight and The Rachel Maddow Show teams, who supported both shows when Maddow hosted on just Monday nights, and Alex Wagner filled in the rest of the week in the 9 p.m. ET time slot. Many of these staffers were told they’d be let go due to Wagner’s show being canceled.
