MSNBC’s new president continued to overhaul the embattled network Monday — canceling shows hosted by anchors left-wing anchors Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang and Jonathan Capehart, The Post has learned.
The bloodbath follows the ouster of rabid anti-Trump anchor Joy Reid after reports surfaced Sunday that the Comcast-owned network is canceling her show, “The ReidOut.”
On Monday, The Guardian reported that Mohyeldin will be canned after 14 years at the network. His show “Ayman Mohyeldin Reports,” which airs on the weekends at 7 p.m., will broadcast its final episode on April 20, according to the UK paper.
Meanwhile, an NBC insider told The Post that staff working for Capehart and Phang were informed Monday that both weekend shows have been canceled.
It’s not clear whether Capehart, a columnist for the Washington Post, and Phang will remain at the network.
MSNBC declined to comment.
The Egyptian-born Mohyeldin was among the anchors MSNBC reportedly sidelined following outrage over the network’s biased coverage of the Oct. 7 massacre by Hamas in Israel.
The network had denied benched Mohyeldin, along with Ali Veshi and Mehdi Hasan, who ended up leaving the network shortly after his show was canceled.
