I happened to be up Way Too Early back on December 19th - my wife and I had to catch a flight from San Juan in the mid-morning. (Which is why I remember the date.) LeMire spoke at the end of his program about hosting that show for the last so many years, and how he was moving over to Morning Joe after the holidays and would now be able to sleep later. (Though how much later can one sleep if you've only moved backwards one hour? I'd think, at most, one hour.) So all this was public at least as of that date.
