Could Shepard Smith land at MSNBC?

The Daily Beast

The Daily Beast reports MSNBC staffers are bracing for a major shakeup. In addition to possibly moving Chuck Todd to mornings, MSNBC is reportedly considering bringing on Smith, who abruptly resigned from Fox News last year after 23 years at the conservative cable news network. "The goal of any reshuffle would be to shed ratings dead weight in the lead-up to the election. Sources at the network cautioned that a new look for the lineup is still up in the air, but brass have been batting around several options," reports The Daily Beast. "One of those is new blood in the form of Smith, who abruptly quit Fox late last year after on-air skirmishes with Tucker Carlson and other primetime hosts. Smith has had conversations with MSNBC President Phil Griffin about a potential gig when his non-compete clause expires, although his price tag is expected to be considerable for any interested network."
