NEW YORK -- MSNBC will move into its new facilities at 30 Rockefeller Plaza with a change in management, the third such change in a little over a year.

The news channel made several rumored changes official Monday with the news that Dan Abrams, who had replaced Rick Kaplan in June 2006, would return to the air to stay with a nightly primetime show. Taking over for Abrams will be Phil Griffin, an NBC News senior vp whose responsibilities also include Today and who is an MSNBC alum.

It also confirmed that Joe Scarborough, a longtime MSNBC primetime host who had taken over the spot in the channel's morning lineup with the canceling of Imus in the Morning in the spring, would get to keep the day job. Morning Joe will air from 6 a.m.-9 a.m.

In an interview Monday, Griffin said the changes wouldn't have come about if it weren't for the hole left by Imus' program that eventually spelled the move of Scarborough to the morning and the 9 p.m.
