Thomas Roberts is the new presenter of Way Too Early on MSNBC (StarSat 410) taking over from Brian Shactman from 13 January at 12:00 (South African time), the American 24-hour TV news channel announced.
Thomas Roberts who used to be on during afternoons, is moving earlier and will also contribute to the morning programme Morning Joe following Way Too Early.
"Thomas Roberts' unique personality and point of view are just the right mix to lead-in to Morning Joe," says MSNBC president Phil Griffin in a statement. "Thomas has really found his voice in the past year and joining the Morning Joe table gives him the opportunity to further develop it."
"This is a very exciting opportunity and right in line with my career goals and aspirations," says Thomas Roberts. "I really admire what Joe, Mika, Willie and Brian have build with Morning Joe and Way Too Early. I am flattered to join this morning family. I also appreciate Phil's faith in me and can't wait to get started."
