MS NOW, who knows? Spinning that channel along with USA and the Golf Channel seems to be a risky move on the surface. At least, CNBC gets to keep their name. But with today's uncertain economy and fragile political scene, I don't know. |

To stop acting like they're a bunch of offended MAGA haters and come up with some constructive ideas that aren't seen as being too far to the socialist radical side of the political spectrum. Maybe they need to shake up their lineup. Get younger. Create new shows with legit discussions. |

Most of the anchors are sticking with MSNBC. The biggest loss to NBC is Steve Kornacki |

Seems like being a bunch of offended conservative MAGA lovers that haven't come up with constructive ideas that aren't being seen as too far to the Project 2025 and Trump side of the political spectrum has worked pretty well for Fox, Newsmax and OAN.  There is plenty of room for channels that cater to the far edge of both right and left. If ratings were the only concern the only one of Fox, Newsmax, OAN and MSNBC/MS Now that would be still standing would be Fox.

And the jokes via X/Twitter have started since the announcement by Mark Lazarus (former CEO of Comcast). This according to Dylan Byers of Puck News: "...change its name to My Source News Opinion World, or MSNOW—a rebrand so intrinsically satirizable that, after covering the announcement, media organizations from The New York Times to Variety felt compelled to publish follow-up items about the derision and ridicule it had inspired. In the annals of corporate nomenclature, only Tribune Publishing’s short-lived transformation into “tronc” (yes, all lowercase) could be seen as similarly risible. Critics noted MSNOW’s obvious connotations with multiple sclerosis, the long-defunct HBO Now, a fusion of Ms. magazine and the National Organization for Women, and the frozen water that crystallizes and falls to the ground in winter. As one high-level NBCUniversal insider texted me, “It does seem like an Accenture consultant had a bad day at Sweetgreens and was like, fudge it.” And off we go.  Watch to see which anchors and reporters will be hired for this news operation. |

The change will become official on Saturday, November 15 with a logo that is similar to American Airlines. |

You’re either watching it or you’re not, I can’t imagine anyone is going to say “wow look at that logo, I better check them out!” |
