Are you ready for ... Evening Joe?

Should “Morning Joe” fans get ready for an occasional jolt of “Evening Joe”?

The anchors and network are discussing the idea as rival CNN attempts to jump-start its own morning programming. Scarborough says he would like to launch a series of quarterly — potentially even monthly — hourlong primetime specials that could take viewers on deep dives into topics like voting rights or into some of the challenges facing American cities. “It would be an opportunity to branch out and do some different things,” says Scarborough. MSNBC viewers have seen “Morning Joe” specials in primetime before, points out Rashida Jones, president of MSNBC. “I really want the content to drive the placement, and as the year plays out and the ideas play out, that will drive where these things hit.”
