Congrats and only about six months obviously overdue considering the demographic of their viewers:

Rachel Maddow will replace Dan Abrams as host of the 9PM hour on MSNBC, the New York Times’ Bill Carter reports. Just last month in a Times article by Jacques Steinberg, MSNBC president Phil Griffin declared Maddow "at the top" of a "very short list" for those who should have their own show, though at the time he said he "[didn't] know when" that would be. As Carter reports, the final stretch of the 2008 election season will be Maddow’s debut as the host of her own MSNBC show

Now all we have do is watch it.
