Anchor Hallie Jackson is moving from her daytime program and expanding her streaming exclusive show as part of a major shakeup at MSNBC. Jackson had been anchoring the 3 p.m. weekday slot but will now carry 5 to 7 p.m. with Hallie Jackson NOW on the NBC News Now streaming platform, the network announced. Around 75 NBC News and MSNBC employees were also laid off this week, just a day after NBC News president Noah Oppenheim announced he was stepping down. The NBC News guild responded to the layoffs with a promise to fight to reinstate the laid off employees, who the guild claimed were fired “abruptly and illegally” in a statement Friday.
