MSNBC viewers have officially seen the last of Steve Kornacki’s big board. The beloved data guru, known for his high-energy election coverage and unparalleled ability to break down numbers in real time, has signed a new deal with NBC—one that expands his role across NBC News and NBC Sports but excludes MSNBC.

Stephen Battaglio, in the LA Times:

The popular data maven has signed a deal with NBC that will expand his presence across the network’s news and sports divisions. But the new contract does not include working for MSNBC, which is being spun off into a new corporate entity formed by parent company Comcast.

This is a huge loss for MSNBC. Kornacki brought an unmatched level of excitement and clarity to election coverage—turning dry data into must-watch television. His departure is just the latest sign that MSNBC is slowly bleeding talent, making its future look increasingly uncertain.

Without Kornacki at the big board, election nights will never be the same.
