Programming note: The Cycle on MSNBC replacing The Dylan Ratigan Show from Monday on weekdays.

The Cycle is the brand-new show starting Monday on MSNBC (TopTV 410) and which will be replacing The Dylan Ratigan Show which ended today.

The Cycle which is clearly derivative of The Five on The Fox News Channel (TopTV 405) is a roundtable discussion show with commentators S.E. Cupp, Touré, Steve Kornacki and Krystall Ball. The four will talk about the news stories of the day.


"I'm looking forward to getting their take on politics and news of the day – every weekday," wrote MSNBC president Phil Griffin in a memo to MSNBC staff today.
