Since September 2011 Chris Hayes has been doing the weekend show Up with Chris Hayes on weekends on MSNBC.
Now he's moving to weekdays with South African viewers who will be able to see him immediately in the 05:00 (South African time) timeslot on MSNBC with a repeat at 09:00 on weekday mornings.
"Chris has done an amazing job creating a franchise on weekend mornings," says Phil Griffin, MSNBC president in a statement. "He's an extraordinary talent and has made a strong connection with our audience. This is an exciting time for MSNBC."
"I'm thrilled to be joining Rachel and Lawrence in primetime," says Chris Hayes. "I've absolutely loved hosting Up on the weekend and I'm looking forward to thinking through the news five nights a week."
