MS NOW Reports
American television news program
MS NOW Reports (formerly MSNBC Reports) is a program title for daytime programming blocks without a program title, as well as breaking news coverage during non-live broadcasts on the American cable news channel MS NOW.
The blocks were last officially branded under the title of former anchor, e.g. Alex Witt Reports—a naming scheme introduced in 2021 that was patterned off its existing dayside program Andrea Mitchell Reports. Generic MS NOW Reports branding was used on-air if the block had no set anchor. Prior to then, these programs were presented under the blanket title MSNBC Live.
Until 2026, MS NOW Reports occupied most of the channel's daytime lineup on weekdays and weekends; on June 15, 2026, its morning and early-afternoon hours were replaced by standalone shows hosted by Stephanie Ruhle and Alicia Menendez, and Katy Tur Reports was rebranded as the standalone show The Moment with Katy Tur, leaving only an 11:00 a.m. ET hour on weekdays with rotating anchors, and Alex Witt Reports from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET on weekends. The 11 a.m. hour was replaced by State of Play with Peter Alexander on August 10, 2026, and Alex Witt departed the network on September 6, ahead of the premiere of The Assignment with Antonia Hylton on September 12, 2026.

The linked authority identifier is Q6717825. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2021 and 2026.
