I've been home sick the last few days and just saw the hour long news summary show - MSNBC - NBC at 9.

Low on opinion and high on information on each days political news by Chuck Todd. Odd time but political news hounds might try DVRing it.

"..Inside the Beltway, Todd's hour-long MSNBC show is widely seen as the most important hour on television, coupling a concise summary of the executive and legislative agendas with deeper dives and insights into larger political stories and trends. It is the place where, in a matter of minutes, you can learn not only what's happening in Washington, but what's "actually" happening in Washington.

"The ambition was always to be the insider politlical show of record," Todd, who is also NBC News political director and chief White House correspondent, told POLITICO today. "I was trying to make this show for Washington, about Washington."

In 2012, 'Rundown' rated number one in Washington for its hour.* Despite airing on MSNBC, a liberal network, it has achieved a bipartisan audience among the local political establishment -- largely because it's added-value is insight, not ideology..."

Its a solid hour...

Best politics show on TV is... Up with Chris Hays on Saturday & Sunday morning

MSNBC's weekend shows give more time to a topic than anything else on TV

Haven't seen that, but I thought Todd's was noteworthy among cable shows for presenting information (much of it Washington insider based) sans shouting and sermons.
