Cenk Uygur (photo right), the radio talk show host behind the multi-media brand “The Young Turks,” has left MSNBC after filling in on the 6:00 pm ET program for the past six months.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Uygur leaves after not being named the permanent host of the 6:00 pm hour. Rev. Al Sharpton has been filling in at 6pm edt the past four weeks.

The network says in a statement, “We have decided to make a change at 6:00 pm. It's unfortunate that Cenk has declined our offer to have him develop and host a program for another time slot.”
