Cue the Sinatra music!
On Monday, MSNBC’s parent company Versant — the name of the company consisting of seven cable news channels Comcast no longer wanted to be tied down to — decreed the much-lampooned name-change for the far-left hot take factory to MS NOW would commence on Saturday, November 15, bringing to an end the network that launched on July 15, 1996.
Along with the tacky name and cheap-looking logo of a waving flag with two stripes set on a blue or white background, Versant said the marketing campaign behind MS Now would be “Same Mission. New Name.” How exciting.
A press release was comical, gushing that MS NOW — an acronym for “My Source for News, Opinion, and the World” — “defines the news organization’s enduring mission: To cover breaking news as it happens, provide best-in-class opinion journalism rooted in fact, and report on unfolding events around the world.”
The release boasted the network has spent “over...nine months” preparing for the name change as well as “develop[ing] and buil[ding] an ambitious newsgathering model hyper-focused on the needs of the MS NOW audience” given the fact NBC correspondents will no longer be able to cross-pollinate and hold them up.
Citing a D.C. bureau that’s already “produc[ed] original, evidence-based reporting and in-depth investigative journalism” and “a multi-year deal” with British outlet Sky News for foreign reporting, Versant hilariously touted an October 6 email to employees outlining their ten core values.
Such values, as we noted and mocked, included “integrity” in “uphold[ing] the highest ethical standards,” “opinion” in having their “opinion journalists and contributors” operate “based on accurate, reported facts,” and “fairness” to “report the news with an open...”

Changing the name means nothing just wasting a lot of money for new mugs ,LOL
Our horrible shows have had a DEEP IMPACT on our ratings.
I was in a hotel room last night. Watched 90 seconds of Larry O’Donnell. He doesn’t like Trump.
In my heart of hearts, they will always be MSLSD.
so its going from PMS-NBC to PMS-NOW
Sounds like NBC is cutting them loose.
MSN-OW?
:)
NBC won’t let them use “NBC” in the new network’s name, so they were forced to change it ....
“cheap-looking logo of a waving flag with two stripes set on a blue or white background”
i love the fact that the new logo sort of looks like a flag from some mythical country, but it was vital that it looks nothing like the USA flag, since most of their staff and viewers hate the USA ...
“ Versant hilariously touted an October 6 email to employees outlining their ten core values.”
I anticipated that it was going to say, “their ten core VIEWERS.”

Hopefully MSNOW will meet its end as MSNEVER.
MS NOW? Sounds like a station primarily directed at middle ages lesbian women mourning the loss of their last cat. But, then again, wasn’t that the audience for MSNBC. Different name, same sh*t
CBS news division is trimming the fat too, big time. The era of cable tv is over.

PMSNOW!
