Two cable news personalities from the complete opposite ends of the political spectrum — Mark Levin and Jen Psaki — are increasing their presence on television.
Psaki, former press secretary to President Joe Biden and current MSNBC host, is moving into prime-time for one night a week. The network said on Thursday that she will begin hosting the 8 p.m. Eastern hour on Monday nights.
Since switching to media, her Sunday afternoon show “Inside with Jen Psaki” has proven to be successful for the network. Currently, the 8 p.m. Monday slot is filled by a rotating series of guest hosts, with Chris Hayes working on Tuesday through Friday.
She’ll join Rachel Maddow, who also hosts once a week in prime-time for MSNBC on Mondays. Maddow’s show will air directly after Psaki. The new schedule starts on Sept. 25.
Levin, the radio talk host whose TV show “Life, Liberty & Levin” airs Sunday nights on Fox News Channel, will have an additional weekend hour on Saturdays, Fox said. It will air in the same 8 p.m. time slot on both weekend nights.
His show is the top-rated cable news program on Sunday nights, according to the Nielsen company.
In addition to his Fox duty, Levin hosts a syndicated weekday radio show that is heard on some 300 stations. His new Saturday show begins Sept. 16.

Why mention that Mark Levin will have a show on Saturday as well? It is NOT a good thing, because it will force him to be mechallel Shabbos, and any
jews who listen to him will also be benefiting from mechallel shabbos. Even though he may be a tinok she nishba, and the people listening are also, probably, he still may eventually be punished for it. Isn’t one of the al chaits we will soon be saying, for the sin we do unknowingly? My point is, that an orthodox news outlet should not be happy that a yid is going to be doing an averah in public, even if he is ignorant. It is not news worthy , or something to be happy about. Please consider this before you publish another similar article. Still, I wish YWN a casivah, v’chasimah toivah.
sider this before you publish another similar news item .

I’m sorry, I made a mistake: Levin will NOT be mechallel shabbos on the first Saturday show, as Shabbos will be over by 8 pm then. However, he WILL be over Rosh Hashanah! So he won’t be punishable by kores, chas v’sholom, but it is still a major averah. So not something to celebrate on a frum site! Instead, maybe YWN should contact him now, so that maybe he will cancel it, as it is on Rosh Hashanah . I know that he is proud to be a Jew, and is a big supporter of Natanyohu.
