Andrea Mitchell will soon sign off her MSNBC show.
The final episode of the 78-year-old’s series Andrea Mitchell Reports will air Feb. 7, according to multiple reports.
The TV news host, who anchored the series for more than 16 years, had first revealed her plans to end her eponymous program in October, noting that she planned to step down following the presidential inauguration in January while remaining NBC News’ Chief Washington Correspondent and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for NBC News.
“In my heart and soul, I am first and foremost a reporter and a storyteller,” Mitchell said on Andrea Mitchell Reports at the time. “After 16 years of being in the anchor chair every day, I want time to do more of what I love the most.”
She continued, “Still with NBC News and at MSNBC. Still as Chief Washington and Foreign Affairs Correspondent. Just not on a schedule of a daily show. From primaries, debates, elections and inaugurals here at home to breaking news around the globe, my goal will continue as it has always been to bring you, our viewers, the major newsmakers shaping our country and the world right here on MSNBC.”
