There is no apparent successor for Maddow, which has used veteran host Ali Velshi as a fill-in on most nights during her hiatus. Maddow has been a favorite of the channel’s politically progressive fans since her program debuted in September 2008. The company has confirmed that the deal gives her the opportunity to pursue a variety of TV and film projects but has not been specific on how long she is committed to continuing a daily cable TV program. Maddow agreed to a new contract with NBCUniversal last summer that keeps her at the company through 2024, after she had discussions with CNN about a role on its new streaming service. MSNBC declined to comment on that possibility. It may only be a brief respite, as Maddow is widely expected to step back from her daily program this summer. Maddow’s return will be welcome by MSNBC executives, who have seen the network’s prime-time ratings sink since the host stepped back.
