The fight for the Republican Presidential nomination continues tomorrow in Nevada, and as usual, the cable networks will be there.

MSNBC’s coverage will run from 6-10:30pmET. The first two hours will be hosted by MSNBC political analyst Michael Smerconish. Chris Matthews will take over from the DC bureau at 8pmET.

CNN’s live coverage will run from 7-10pmET and will be anchored by Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper and John King. At 11pmET, Don Lemon will anchor a live edition of “Newsroom.”

Fox News will stick with a regular Saturday night schedule in the early part of primetime — “Huckabee” at 8pmET, followed by “Justice with Judge Janine.” At 10pmET, Bret Baier will host a one-hour live special on the caucus results. Baier will also provide extended live cut-ins during the rest of primetime programming.

With “Tonight Show” and “Late Show” in reruns last week, it was an easy win for “Nightline.”

Season to date, “Nightline” remains #1 in late-night among Total Viewers, Adults 25-54 and Adults 18-49.

ABC’s ratings are based on a 25-minute broadcast, while CBS and NBC are based on approximately :50 minutes (prior to the final national commercial break of each program).

• FBN reporter Sandra Smith talks to Self magazine about her diet. How does the breakfast enthusiast start her day? “I love granola,” Smith says. “I always keep several different kinds on hand.”
• MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan shares his favorite books with The Week. Among his picks: How by Dov Seidman, Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman, and Richard Branson‘s autobiography, Losing My Virginity.
• CNN’s John King discusses the future of the television business with The Spinnaker, the student-run blog at the University of North Florida. “There’s so many ways to get the news when you want it, how you want it, in the form that you want it, that the whole appointment television model is in trouble right now,” King says.

Jane Velez-Mitchell has apparently gotten over her Issues. So HLN has decided to change the name of her nightly show to just, “Jane Velez-Mitchell.” Velez-Mitchell announced the news in a video on her Facebook page. (And sparing no expense, it was shot in front of the entrance to the CNN/HLN studios in New York). The new name and graphics begin Monday at 7pmET. Velez-Mitchell joined the HLN lineup when Glenn Beck bolted for Fox News in October 2008.

A day after grilling the founder and CEO of the nation’s largest breast cancer advocacy group over its decision to pull some funding of Planned Parenthood, Andrea Mitchell, a breast cancer survivor, led her show with the group’s reversal today.

The decision, and its reversal coming around 11:15am this morning, have been a big story on the morning shows and cable news channels today. The news was the lead on both “NBC Nightly News” and “ABC World News” last night.

On her show Thursday, Mitchell said to Nancy Brinker, the founder and CEO of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure: “We’ve known each other a long time… But I come to you today, you know, expressing the anger of a lot of people … channeling through them, you see it on Twitter, you see it everywhere.”

On her Fox News show today, Megyn Kelly reported that Komen says, “politics played no part in its original decision to cut Planned Parenthood’s grant and that outside pressure did not play a part in today’s decision to reverse course.”

CNBC’s Suze Orman went on “Piers Morgan Tonight” the other night to defend against the criticism of her prepaid debit card. “The people who are judging pre-paid cards today are out of touch with the poor people,” argues Orman.

ABC/CNN’s Christiane Amanpour educated Stephen Colbert on the volatile situation in Iran on his show last night. It was also an opportunity for Iranian-born Amanpour to promote her upcoming daily CNNI show. Colbert cracked, “CNN International: it’s just like regular CNN but in metric.”

Matt Lauer stayed behind in New York today while his “Today” family was in Indianapolis ahead of the Super Bowl Sunday. Lauer will be at the White House this weekend for the annual live pre-game presidential interview.

Bill O’Reilly did it last year on FOX. Katie Couric, then with CBS, conducted the pre-game interview in 2010 arriving just ahead of that year’s Snowpocalypse. And Lauer, whose contract with NBC ends later this year, conducted an interview in 2009, a couple weeks after Obama took office, but not without some “technical difficulties.”

CNN’s Soledad O’Brien and HLN’s Jane Velez-Mitchell will co-host the NLGJA’s 17th annual New York Benefit next month. The event, to be held Thursday, March 29, draws more than 300 journalists and media professionals each year for the organization’s largest fundraiser. CNN is also the Headline sponsor for the night.
