Steve Kornacki, known for his dynamic election night analysis on MSNBC, is leaving the network after more than a decade.
He will now serve full-time at NBC News and NBC Sports, taking on the role of chief data analyst. Kornacki will appear regularly on major NBC programs like 'NBC Nightly News' and 'The Today Show' to provide data-driven insights on elections and polling. His move marks a significant shift for MSNBC, which is losing one of its most recognizable faces during election coverage.
Kornacki will also contribute to NBC Sports, continuing his crossover into sports analytics.

Good for Kornacki—at least he's taking his skills somewhere he can actually focus on data instead of pushing a narrative. Honestly, most of these cable news networks are just partisan echo chambers anyway. If he sticks to numbers and stays out of the political spin, more power to him. Just wish more media folks would prioritize facts over fear-mongering.

Bummed to see Kornacki leave MSNBC—his election night breakdowns were legendary and actually made data fun. Hoping NBC still lets him get nerdy with the numbers instead of watering him down for broader appeal.
