Dylan Ratigan, who will be anchoring the last episode of MSNBC's The Dylan Ratigan Show on Friday, took a couple minutes out the program's penultimate episode to introduce his successors. The Cycle, which premiers this Monday, features four co-anchors. They are:
- Touré, a cultural critic whose latest book is Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness?: What It Means to Be Black Now
- Krystal Ball, political commentator and former Democratic congressional candidate
- Steve Kornacki, a columnist for Salon
- S.E. Cupp, the host of GBTV's S.E. Cupp, a columnist for the New York Daily News, and the author of Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity
The Cycle will air weekdays at 3 p.m. ET starting next week.

Am willing to let all of this change evolve. Personalities are fine - just don't know how they will work together. Guess there needs to be a "show hat", to be worn by whomever is in the lead role, that day or in that segment.
Steve Kornacki? Check. Everybody else. Meh.
The last big impression Steve Kornacki made on me was when he was on air lobbying for the Keystone Pipeline to be approved. I say watch out for the "Salon" crew. Joan Walsh spent 2010 bashing the President, but since then she has moderated her opinions and tried to regain trust with the Democratic party. Dems haven't forgotten MSNBC's and Salon's year of Obama bashing in 2010 and we won't be fooled again. We're keeping a close eye "liberal" puntificators. I do really like Joan Walsh and think she's a sweetie, but she has a bad track record with Dems, including this Dem. Ya' gotta watch out for pundits. Kornacki might turn into the Keystone man. We'll see. .
Dylan Ratigan was the best thing MSNBC had. Where has he gone, and why?
