Live from New York, it’s MSNBC.
MSNBC brings back its flagship event of live fans for a second year, seeking to extend the activity lines of the wired chain while it is preparing for a spin-out of Nbcuniversal with slope.
Payment 2025 will be called Msnbclive ’25: who we areAnd takes place on Saturday October 11 in the Hammerstein ball hall in Manhattan. Tickets for the event are sold today, from $ 100. As for last year, there will also be special lunches and dinners with MSNBC talents, and the panels will finally be operating on MSNBC.
This year’s event will see the return of the stars of grande hours Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki and Lawrence O’Donnell, with Joe Scarborough and Mika Bruzezinski, Jacob Soboroff and Nicolle Wallace joining for the first time. Chris Hayes, Ari Melber, Stephanie Ruhle and other hosts will also return.
The event will be structured around a morning session and an evening session, with lunch and dinner sessions also with conversations with the best talents.
MSNBC launched its live event activity at the end of 2023, bringing back the former animator Luke Russer to direct the division. Russet will be a host and creative director of this year’s event.
MSNBC said that last year’s event, held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, had more than 4,000 participants.
“We thought we would have many viewers of the East Coast, but it was really an international event – people came from places like London and Hawaii,” explains Russert The Hollywood Reporter. “There was also an energy in the room that our team could feel and exploit. Lawrence O’Donnell told me that it was like a rock concert. ”
MSNBC, like all wired chains, has adapted to the drop in linear television by looking for new sources of income. Live events and the digital media have become the main commitment methods outside the Bundle Pay-TV. The chain is not alone in this effort either, Fox News has welcomed the past six years the Patriot Awards, also selling tickets and bringing its hosts to an event space where they can engage with fans.
“Last year, we really tried to assess what the appetite was for an event like this, as Rachel said on the air, we really try it”, “said Russert.” This year, knowing what is the request and having an idea of what motivated the public, we will really look to make it a space where our viewers can not only engage with our hosts and our contributors. Let us feel inspired and informed. “
