The New York Post reports that Rachel Maddow may be leaving the network to pursue her own venture.
Maddow has been the number one rated host on the network for years. She has hosted The Rachel Maddow Show since 2008. The Daily Beast is reporting that Maddow’s contract ends early next year and the negotiation has been “heated.”
If she exits MSNBC, Maddow would likely start her own platform. Maddow may look at the Megyn Kelly format of podcasting and streaming. Maddow reportedly makes $7 million a year and is represented by Mark Shapiro.
“Nothing has been decided. We are deep into it with NBCUniversal and Rachel has an excellent relationship with them,” Shapiro told The Daily Beast.
