In March 2026, fans were shocked to learn that Ana Cabrera was to leave MS NOW, following a major shakeup at the network.
Cabrera, who had previously worked for CNN, was one of the leading MS NOW anchors, where she hosted the morning show, Ana Cabrera Reports. Three months after the news broke, she left the network, bringing an end to a three-year tenure.
Below, we take a look at the real reason she left MS NOW and what she has been up to since leaving.
Cabrera’s exit coincided with MS NOW shakeup
Ana Cabrera’s exit from MS NOW coincided with a major shakeup at the network. The changes came after the network separated from NBC Universal and rebranded from MSNBC to MS NOW.
As part of the changes, the network’s “Reports” branding was phased out, and Cabrera’s show, Ana Cabrera Reports, was discontinued. The spot occupied by her show was replaced by Money, Power, Politics with Stephanie Ruhle and a breaking news program hosted by Peter Alexander.
Ana Cabrera claimed her exit was a personal decision
In March 2026, Ana Cabrera took to social media to announce her exit. In a video message shared on X, she explained it was her decision to leave MS NOW;
“I’ve decided to make a change, and I am leaving MS NOW. Throughout my career, I’ve always sought the best opportunities to do this work and have the greatest impact while staying true to myself and mission as a journalist,” read part of the message.
However, some fans were convinced that MS NOW had forced her out, without offering her a chance to keep her show.
Other fans were suspicious that she was leaving because of a clash with the management:
“Your statement makes it sound like you are not allowed to exhibit your personal integrity at MS-NOW. I hope I am misunderstanding,” commented one person in response to her X message.
However, no evidence suggests she was forced out. Additionally, MS NOW president Rebecca Kutler confirmed that Cabrera left for other opportunities:
“We thank Ana Cabrera for her many contributions to MS NOW, as she has decided to pursue other opportunities.”
What is Ana Cabrera’s next job?
Ana Cabrera anchored her final MS NOW show on June 12, 2026, during which she said farewell to her fans.
“This was my last show for MS NOW. Thank you for your viewership. Thank you for trusting me as your source of news and information. It has truly been a privilege and joy to serve you through this work as a journalist,” said Cabrera.
She also assured fans that her exit was not the end of the story, a hint at future roles. However, since leaving, Cabrera has not announced any new job, with her social media accounts mostly filled with posts of her spending time with her family.
