Could Morning Joe Move to CBS?, Part Deux

TVNewser's Alex Weprin weighs in on Colby Hall's speculation that Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski could move to CBS.

Weprin thinks that such a move would be unlikely, given that Scarborough is still with the network after his previous contract expired in March, the same month that Starbucks agreed to a long-term sponsorship of Morning Joe.  If there was any real possibility that Joe would leave, Weprin argues, Starbucks wouldn't have made such a move.

Personally, I think they'll stay with MSNBC.

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.

Lovely Ladies in London

The networks have been sending their A-listers to London to cover the upcoming Royal Wedding.  It's an opportunity to see some of our favorite newswomen outside of the studio.

CNN's Kiran Chetry has been out and about in London, reporting on the route of the royal carriage and sporting one of the tiny hats (known as fascinators) made popular by bride-to-be Kate Middleton.

Meanwhile, on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have taken their show across the pond as well.

And FNC's Martha MacCallum is also en route to London to cover the big day.

While I will not watch the coverage of the Royal Wedding myself, these women will do a bang-up job covering it.
