MSNBC has picked Reid to fill the 7 p.m. hour that was vacated by longtime host Chris Matthews in early March. When Reid debuts her new show, "The ReidOut," on July 20, she will become the only black woman to host a daily prime-time cable news program, a designation that takes on particular significance amid the industry-wide reckoning spawned by the killing of George Floyd and the nationwide protests that followed.

MSNBC has moved Joy Reid into the early evening time slot vacated by former “Hardball” host Chris Matthew‘s retirement in March.
Reid, a weekend anchor at the network and lately has subbed in the 7 p.m. Eastern time slot, now holds the post full-time. She will also be doing a Washington-based show dubbed “The ReidOut.”
She says that she’s focused on ““bringing in diverse, smart and accomplished voices to the table on topics that are important to our viewers.”
“I’m honored and thankful for this opportunity,” she added.
