MS NOW is set to launch “State of Play with Peter Alexander” on Monday, August 10. All three outlets report that the program will air on weekdays at 11:00 a.m. ET and that it marks Alexander’s transition from NBC News earlier this year. The show is positioned as a news program built on Alexander’s experience as a Washington correspondent and his previous hosting work on NBC’s “Today.”
Variety and Deadline describe Alexander as bringing his reporting background to MS NOW, where he also takes on additional responsibilities. Deadline adds that he serves as MS NOW’s chief national reporter and breaking news anchor, indicating a broader role for him beyond the new 11 a.m. time slot. The reporting also describes the program as emphasizing authoritative and original journalism and thoughtful coverage.
Adweek similarly notes that the network completes a schedule revamp with Alexander’s debut, aligning the launch date and the weekday premiere details across sources.
