MSNBC has only recently had regular ratings that are even vaguely respectable. Fox still trounces them, and it wasn't that long ago that they finally caught up to or surpassed CNN -- which probably has more to do with CNN becoming entirely unwatchable. Contracts for MSNBC's talent were probably already in place. As for CNN, Wolf probably has nothing to do on a Saturday night anyway.
