MSNBC has announced the creation of “MSNBC Live,” an event series launching in 2024, featuring high-profile interviews, expert forums and panels on a local and national scale. Award-winning journalist and bestselling author Luke Russert will return to MSNBC as host and creative director of “MSNBC Live.”
“MSNBC Live” will feature both intimate forums in Washington, D.C., and large-scale audience experiences across the country.
The network — which has the most loyal and engaged weekday audience in all of television, according to Nielsen data — will bring together its top anchors and hosts for live experiences directly with MSNBC’s most engaged viewers.
“MSNBC is a trusted source of news and perspective for millions of viewers and readers, and we’re looking to deepen that relationship even further,” MSNBC President Rashida Jones said. “Thoughtful, in-person conversations on topics at the forefront of our audience’s minds are a tremendous opportunity to engage in a new way.”
“At these events MSNBC regulars will be talking with some of America's leading thinkers. It is our hope we can advance important dialogue and reach a measure of understanding as well as remember what makes America great — its unity in diversity and commitment to democratic ideals,” said Russert. “I want people to leave better informed and inspired to promote positive action."
Rebecca Kutler, SVP of Content Strategy at MSNBC, will oversee the development and implementation of “MSNBC Live.” Lauren Peikoff will serve as executive producer of events for MSNBC.
This new series will continue MSNBC’s digital expansion across the web, social, streaming, newsletters and audio while also continuing to invest in original programming on linear. “MSNBC Live” will also add to the momentum and success of the broader NBCUniversal News Group Events strategy across CNBC and TODAY, engaging audiences beyond the screen with meaningful content and first-class production.
