The veteran Washington correspondent and weekend “Today” host will launch a new 11 a.m. program on the Versant-backed network starting Monday, August 10. “State of Play” is billed as focusing on “authoritative and original reporting, thoughtful conversations, and in-depth analysis of the biggest political and national stories shaping the day,” according to a memo from Greg Kordick, the network’s senior vice president of programming.
