Rebecca Kutler appointed president of MSNBC following Rashida Jones' departure

Rebecca Kutler has been appointed president of MSNBC, taking over from Rashida Jones. She previously served as interim president and has been with the network since 2022. Kutler's appointment comes as MSNBC seeks to recover from a decline in ratings following the recent election. The network's audience is gradually returning, aided by Rachel Maddow's return to a nightly program. Kutler, who has a background at CNN, will lead MSNBC amid challenges in the shrinking pay TV market. Comcast is planning a spinoff that includes MSNBC and other cable networks.
