Those of you who didn't like Steve Kornacki's antics at the "big board" won't have to see him anymore.....

[a kennedy]

MSNBC viewers have seen the last of Steve Kornacki's big board.

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.

Under the spinoff arrangement, MSNBC and NBC News are separating their operations, with the left-leaning cable network building its own newsgathering unit. Kornacki has chosen to remain with NBC.

Kornacki, 45, will continue to be NBC's go-to expert for statistical analysis of polls and election results and during major sporting events, including Triple Crown horse racing, the Olympics and the NFL.

He will appear on the streaming channel NBC News Now along with the broadcast network franchises "Meet the Press," "Today" and "NBC Nightly News."

A representative for NBC News confirmed the move Tuesday. A representative for MSNBC declined to comment on Kornacki's exit, but noted the cable network is hiring more than 100 journalists in preparation for its split from NBC News. The search is already on for a new data guru.

1. He's such a tool

[hlthe2b]

4. Yeah... His "analysis" for NFL, Triple Crown, and other is his effort to line his pockets at the expense of

all the sports gamblers (and soon-to-be EX-families/employers)....

A dweeb-- now momentarily popular-- goes for the GREEN $$$. Count me unsurprised.

At least now we don't have to see him in his shit-brown pants (that replaced his once "iconic" khakis)...

2. In the future Steve will analyze vote totals rigged by Elon's computers.

3. Well, he was usually spot on with his numbers.

I guess some people wont like you because you come to conclusions they dont like

[Redleg]

7. LOL. My issue with Steve K. is that he seemed too earnest and eager

Yes, I know that demonstrating passion for your craft is important but it seemed to me that Steve when a bit beyond that.

[eShirl]

9. nothing to do with his conclusions

he moves like a stressed-out over caffeinated person that I find difficult to watch

[SWBTATTReg]

12. You nailed it. He drove me nuts and I didn't appreciate the folksy persona he put on. I guess I'm sensitive since I'm

a data freak/data nerd, from being in IT for 40+ years. He projects a negative stereotype of IT people IMHO.

14. Wouldnt surprise me if he WAS hyped up on a few coffees or 5hrs

[poli-junkie]

5. G'bye Steve and your khakis 👋

[Srkdqltr]

6. Geeeze what a bunch......

[Silent Type]

8. Kornacki is OK. His analysis in 2020 election kept me somewhat sane by showing how outstanding votes days after

election ended would push Biden over the top. It did.

But people gonna hate.

10. The less I see of Kornacki, the better.

Profoundly irritating individual...

[newdeal2]

11. I'm surprised MSNBC and NBC are not agreeing to share resources after the split

Seems very inefficient and expensive to have duplicates for each position, research and polling, etc.

13. He SHOULD be analyzing sports because he always acts like he is.

[Iggo]

15. I already don't have to see him.
