Maddow’s reported salary haircut comes as panic engulfed MSNBC’s 30 Rock headquarters in Midtown, as The Post reported, over Comcast’s plan to spin off off its cable channels by the end of 2025.
Splitting off MSNBC from NBC News could force the cable channel to change its name, logo and headquarters, and may lead to layoffs.
Maddow’s new deal will keep her in the anchor chair on Monday nights, and allow her to produce podcasts and documentaries, the Ankler reported.
The network also plans to use her as a “secret weapon” on other shows when there’s breaking news, the outlet added.
MSNBC’s ratings have tanked 54% in the days after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris — a win that left MSNBC’s staunchly anti-Trump hosts speechless.
Viewers no longer seem to be buying what Maddow is selling at any price.
