Hey, I’m not very familiar with american television channels. Before the holiday, I leached some maddow off youtube, but now she seems gone? has ISIS kidnapped her, or is downtime usual in a race(tihi) like this? ---

She was on last night and I’m pretty sure every weeknight since new years (her show wasn’t on on Tuesday but she was on the air, co-anchoring the network’s coverage of the State of the Union Address). MSNBC is a pay channel owned by a cable company\*, so anywhere you’re finding the show for free is not going to be very reliable. \*Before the channel was acquired by Comcast, her show and a couple others were indeed available for free online. That was shut down within a week or two of the acquisition IIRC. ---

I’m closing this. It serves no purpose.
