The Cycle was an ensemble news and political talk show that was broadcast on MSNBC and hosted by four network analysts/commentators: Republican Abby Huntsman, author and culture critic Touré, The Nation correspondent Ari Melber, and former congressional candidate turned Democratic strategist Krystal Ball. Per its ensemble format, all four hosts appear on every show, with each host taking turns to facilitate the discussions.

The program debuted on June 25, 2012, and ran until July 31, 2015.[1] On July 30, 2015, MSNBC President Phil Griffin announced that the series had been canceled in an effort to transition the network's daytime programming to more breaking news reporting and less political commentary and opinion.
