NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC is giving Washington correspondent Kasie Hunt a pre-morning coffee shift on weekdays and expanding its weekend lineup to have more live hours of news. Sounds like this might delicately be described as challenging. Kasie Hunt, of MSNBC. Then They Changed Their Story.

Kasie DC was a Sunday night news and politics television program that aired on MSNBC, hosted by Kasie Hunt, who had been serving as NBC News' Capitol Hill correspondent, covering Congress across all NBC News and MSNBC platforms. We’ve talked a lot about the role of the press, and I think that’s very important. One thing I’m watching for and very conscious of for myself is that election night is going to potentially look different from years past. Watch the Veep Scenes That Are Eerily Reminiscent of This Year’s Election, Washington National Cathedral Will Livestream a Service for Unity Today. My way of looking at this—I grew up at the Associated Press as my formative job experience, which teaches very terse, declarative, straightforward statements. (The show launched its original host, Willie Geist, back in 2009.) I want to ask about the state of political journalism as we head into the final stretch of the presidential election. And my son just turned one last week. We Put Together a List of Good Things That Actually Happened on Election Night.

It’s very incumbent on us in media, especially on cable but also broadcast news—we have to get it right. The 5 AM ET show originally aired from 2009 to 2016, first with Willie Geist and then a series of other hosts.

I think a lot of people who are decision makers—lawmakers, people who are focused and at the top of their game—need a place to get the news at 5 AM, because that’s when they’re starting their days. It is actually way too early!

It’s a wide range—some people work the night shift,  others are still up on the west coast, others are getting up at four on the east coast to head to work…and because a lot of lawmakers tune in and watch, it’s a great platform that builds on what I’m doing at the network as a Capitol Hill correspondent. Although I have learned to be a morning person over my years in television. I think we recognize the gravity of the situation facing the country.

Depp said his announcement came “in light of recent events.”. But from my perspective, if I find myself sitting on set election night, the first thing I’m thinking about is how do we make sure we don’t get ahead of where we actually are—not just for the night itself but for whatever comes afterward.

And I think that’s really important—something I want to do on our show every day at 5 AM is scrutinize whether they’re standing up to the moment, whether they’re members of Congress, judges, members of cabinet, or people who work for the press, whether it’s anonymous sources or on-the-record sources.

You keep your opinions and your views to yourself.
