Had to look it up canetoad Saturday #1

Thus their attempt at a strategically placed spacing (or a hyphen as I've seen occasionally). MS NOW hlthe2b Saturday #7

They had no choice but to legally rename... part of the divestiture by Comcast and its former NBC alignment hlthe2b Saturday #2

Fear of TACO is driving this. The CBS caving in scared NBC. marble falls Saturday #3

I'm guessing the potential for MSNBC angering Trump has Comcast afraid of future reprisals? Ilikepurple Saturday #29

Does anybody here know WHY they changed the name? CTyankee Saturday #4

If one believes AI, this is the reason-- Silent Type Saturday #10

Well, that makes some sense. Does anybody care? CTyankee Saturday #11

As long as Maddow, Wallace, etc., continue, don't think it will make much difference. Silent Type Saturday #13

Hubby loves Wallace. I don't particularly love anyone in the media but I do watch Morning Joe. CTyankee Saturday #17

If you want to know the quality of people running MSNBC/NBCNews/etc, read RockRaven Saturday #5

I watch the NBCNOW news channel on my smart TV. I enjoy Hallie Jackson's show. John1956PA Saturday #6

I read it as being pronounced "M-SNOW." Ocelot II Saturday #8

Get rid of the "MS" altogether and just call it NBC, that's what it is, Microsoft left the organization years ago... wcmagumba Saturday #9

It is no longer associated with NBC either MichMan Saturday #16

Oh, didn't realize that...hmmm... wcmagumba Saturday #19

Indeed. Why keep the MS when Microsoft hasn't been involved for years? Sibelius Fan Saturday #30

I would rather they change their name than change their people! TommyT139 Saturday #12

On the plus side, I didn't see one "mentor" PSA when I watched this morning. Vinca Saturday #14

Dumb old guy here, what is a "Mentor" PSA? wcmagumba Saturday #15

A public service announcement pitching mentoring. Lately, MSNBC has been showing about 6 in a row about every hour. Vinca Saturday #21

SNOW? I like snow. Just as long as it's higher up the mountain than our house. Ping Tung Saturday #18

MS THEN... Mike Nelson Saturday #20

Ms Now and Then - sounds like a feminist pageant- an omen? delisen Saturday #27

Meh. Whatever. Probably a good thing to disassociate with NBC. ABC and CBS are down, NBC will go down too. Scrivener7 Saturday #22

Fine with me. lamp_shade Saturday #23

They had no choice. They had to change the name. nt mcar Saturday #24

MS No.Way nt librechik Saturday #25
