MSNBC’s final separation from the NBCUniversal News Group is fast approaching. 

The network will join Versant once Comcast’s spin-off company officially launches later this year. MSNBC is in the process of hiring more than 100 journalists, and is also on the hunt for new office and studio space.

The move away from NBC News’ home at 30 Rock means that on-air and executive talent from both networks have had to decide whether they’ll remain with MSNBC or join NBC News.

Here is a running list of the Newsers who will be part of MSNBC and those who are staying with NBC News after the SpinCo split.

This list will be updated as new announcements are made. (All times cited are Eastern.)
