Could Morning Joe Move to CBS?

Mediaite's Colby Hall writes about the possibility of Morning Joe jumping networks from MSNBC to CBS.


This is the key paragraph of Hall's post:

So would Morning Joe and Mika help change CBS fortunes? Maybe, but they would probably have to change the show significantly from its primarily insider political buzz to appeal to a broader audience. But in the end, CBS demonstrated that they could change the entire morning anchor team without really changing the ratings so they may decide that with a bold move like this, they really have nothing to lose.

Also, what would a move to CBS do for MSNBC's morning ratings?  Morning Joe has been beating CNN's American Morning on a regular basis.  Would the loss of Joe and Mika send MSNBC back into last place?  Likely.
