As TVNewser reported two weeks ago, MSNBC’s new David Gregory-hosted program Race for the White House, airing at 6pmET, will be simulcast on Air America Radio. The simulcasts begin on Wednesday.

Rachel Maddow, of Air America and MSNBC, is a nightly panelist on the program, and the simulcast will replace the first hour of her three-hour radio program, “The Rachel Maddow Show.”

“We’re enthused to air this new MSNBC show with Air America’s own Rachel Maddow,” said Mark Green, president of Air America Radio, in the release. “Her smarts and wit light up ‘Race for the White House’ just as they do her own evening show.”
