  "account": "MS NOW has announced that Antonia Hylton will host her first solo show, titled \"The Assignment With Antonia Hylton,\" starting September 12th. The weekend program will air on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. ET, offering a significantly larger platform for Hylton. The show will cover political and cultural stories, featuring interviews, panel discussions, and the field reporting that has become Hylton's trademark at the network. This move comes after the cancellation of \"The Weekend: Primetime,\" which Hylton co-hosted, and the replacement of live programming with video podcasts and content from Crooked Media. Hylton, who joined MS NOW in April 2025, previously co-hosted \"The Weekend: Primetime\" and anchored weekday programming before Peter Alexander's \"State of Play\" took over. Her recent reporting includes the network's \"Cities Under Siege\" series and various assignments for NBC News. The new show will complement Jacob Soboroff's \"Connect,\" creating a six-hour weekend block featuring two former NBC News correspondents. This programming overhaul also includes other new or renamed programs led by prominent journalists like Stephanie Ruhle, Alicia Menendez, Katy Tur, Ali Velshi, and Soboroff.",
