MSNBC to Officially Re-air Bloomberg’s ‘With All Due Respect’ Under New Agreement

Come next month, MSNBC will officially re-air political talk show “With All Due Respect,” thanks to a new agreement with Bloomberg Media.

Bloomberg Television’s flagship program will still air there at 5 p.m. ET, but is set for the following hour on MSNBC. “With All Due Respect,” hosted by Bloomberg Politics Managing Editors Mark Helperin and John Heilemann (pictured above), also streams live on BloombergPolitics.com.

“This is a natural extension of the Bloomberg Politics brand for us,” said Bloomberg Media CEO Justin B. Smith. “‘With All Due Respect’ has been a strong multi-platform success story, and we welcome this opportunity to expand its reach to new audiences through this partnership with MSNBC.”

The move has been murmured about for weeks, and not everyone at MSNBC is happy to welcome Helperin and Heilemann.

“Talk about out of ideas,” one unnamed on-air talent told CNN’s Dylan Byers last month. “We’re going to run a rerun of another rival network’s show? As a programming decision that is completely insane.”

But, Andrew Lack and Phil Griffin are happy, so that’s good.

“I’ve known and respected Mark and John’s work for many years,” Lack, chairman of NBC News and MSNBC, stated on Monday. “Collaborating with them on our air will strengthen our already deep and experienced political lineup as MSNBC heads into a pivotal election year.”

“Halperin and Heilemann have been valuable contributors to MSNBC for a long time, and viewers know they’re getting unique insight and perspective when they see them on our air. This new collaboration brings them even deeper into the fold at the perfect time,” added Griffin, president of MSNBC.
