Randy Meider update…

The Minneapolis Star Tribune has a brief blurb on former MSNBC anchor Randy Meier…

MSNBC didn’t pick up the option on Randy Meier’s contract.

“This comes on the heels of them having me commute from Minnesota for two-and-a-half years while my family was here,” Meier told me. “This didn’t come as any big surprise to anyone.”

With the recent MSNBC management changes, Meier said, change was in the air. “MSNBC is trying to find a new role for itself, a new niche, not having the kind of success it has wanted.”

Is he really up for a job at FOX 5 in D.C., as reported by dcrtv.com?

“Nooo,” Meier said. “I’ve never been approached by them. You know whose job that is. You remember Michael Gargiulo, right? He vacated to come to New York.”

  1. “This comes on the heels of them having me commute from Minnesota for two-and-a-half years while my family was here,” Meier told me.

    Didn’t I read something about Randy’s family moving to the NJ/NY area, deciding they didn’t like it and moving back to Mn.? Its all MSNBC’s “fault” Randy had to commute??!!
