Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are staying at MS NOW for another four years, it's been revealed.
The cable news power couple confirmed to Axios Wednesday that they have signed a contract extension good until the end of 2029.
'Mika and I are excited to be staying with our "Morning Joe" family and friends who have been watching regularly for almost 20 years,' Scarborough said.
The former Florida Republican went on to thank MS NOW President Rebecca Kutler and Versant CEO Mark Lazarus 'for the vote of confidence'.
Scarborough and Brzezinski both successfully negotiated for the show to be shortened from four hours to three in a move announced last week, the Daily Mail understands. The show has historically been three hours.
Kutler briefly spoke about the contract extension as well.
'We are about to celebrate 20 years of Morning Joe - Joe and Mika have created something that cannot be replicated,' she told Axios 13 months into her executive tenure.
'As we build towards the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election, Morning Joe will continue to be a singular destination for presidents and newsmakers from all political parties.'
Morning Joe star Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have confirmed they signed a four-year contract with MS NOW
MS NOW president Rebecca Kutler confirmed the move as well, after masterminding a shift to digital
An MS NOW spokesperson confirmed the contract renewal to the Mail on Wednesday.
Axios touted the program as 'one of the most powerful platforms reaching policymakers and Washington insiders' while covering the new development.
The Hollywood Reporter called the cohosts 'arguably two of [MS NOW's] most powerful on-air personalities'.
Variety framed the 6am show as a 'core niche of Washington insiders and politicos each morning' and 'a valuable place to establish MS NOW as a place for influencers'.
Kutler - a former senior vice president at CNN - has sought to move the network into the digital age since taking the reins in February of last year.
More vertical videos, a more pronounced presence on YouTube, and a host of programming changes has been the result.
Morning Joe has been at the forefront of the transition, consistently ranking as one of MS NOW's largest drivers on the website.
Clips of conversations and interviews alone have secured more than 227million views in 2025.
The Morning Joe showcast - a podcast version of the show - is the network's most downloaded daily offering.
Rachel Maddow, meanwhile, remains MS NOW's highest-rated host. She only appears on-air once a week.
Morning Joe's ratings, however, remain a bright spot in an otherwise lacking morning lineup, with the show notching its most-watched month last February since the 2024 presidential election.
The 810,000 total viewers for the month was up 16 percent from this year.
Last month, the network as a whole reeled 1.4 million primetime viewers - another sign of improvement under Kutler.
The network was renamed from MSNBC in November, as part of corporate restructuring by former parent company Comcast. It was cast off to a separate company, Versant, along with other cable channels.
