MSNBC Pre-Empts Tucker For Blair Special

MSNBC chose the 4pm time slot to re-air Brian Williams‘ interview with Tony Blair.

The interview was excerpted on Tuesday’s Nightly News, featured on Sunday’s Dateline, and turned into a one-hour special for MSNBC. (And “we’re going to make it available via our NBC News I-Tunes selections,” Williams adds.)

An e-mailer notes that Tucker Carlson‘s show usually airs at 4, and asks: “is this a sign of things to come?”
