MSNBC weekend morning anchor Joy Reid will reportedly take over the time slot that one-time host Chris Matthews occupied before exiting the network several months ago, according to The Daily News.

Reid, if rumors hold true, would be the first Black woman to anchor a cable-news show during prime time.

Reid, who currently hosts the MSNBC morning show AM Joy, has been one of several other hosts, including Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes, who has filled in temporarily in the coveted time slot.

Citing unnamed sources who have knowledge of the ongoing situation, The Wall Street Journal reported that MSNBC is “close” to making an announcement that Reid will emerge as the new host of the MSNBC’s 7 PM time slot.

This would establish her as the lead-in to its block of prime time programming, All In With Chris Hayes, The Rachel Maddow Show, and The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell.
