**MSNBC’s** [**final separation**](https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/msnbc-comcast-split-spinco/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) **from the NBCUniversal News Group is fast approaching**, reports Adweek.

According to Adweek, as part of the temporarily titled SpinCo entity, “both networks are rebuilding their staffs and newsgathering infrastructure. MSNBC alone is in the process of hiring [more than 100 journalists](https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/chris-cillizza-newsnation-scott-matthews-msnbc/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com), and [is also on the hunt for new office and studio space](https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/msnbc-remains-new-york-spinco/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com).

“The move away from NBC News’ home at 30 Rock also means that on-air talent that appeared on both networks have had to decide whether they’ll remain with MSNBC or join NBC News.”

**Rachel Maddow,** in photo**,** will stay with MSNBC**.** According to Adweek, **she** signed a deal to remain with MSNBC last fall. Currently appearing five nights a week for the first 100 days of the second **Donald Trump** administration, she’ll shift back to a Monday-only schedule in May. According to one online report: “In the first quarter of 2025, MSNBC’s top-rated show was The Rachel Maddow Show, which achieved the highest ratings in total viewers and the A25-54 demo.”
