Ratings since Trump took office have been in a DOWNWARD SPIRAL at @MSNBC.

Never-Trumpers hardest hit:

• Morning Joe 1st hour - down 39.6% • Morning Joe 2d hour - down 36.9% • Andrea Mitchell - down 39.7% • Ari Melber - down 49.6% • Joy Reid’s Reidout - down 54.6% • All-in w Chris Hayes - down 47.2% • Alex Wagner Tonight- down 53.6% • Lawrence O’Donnell - down 60.6% • Stephanie Ruhle - down 67%

How much should anyone pay to buy MSNBC?

If they would have done their job as a media outlet of being fair and unbiased, their ratings would have been off the charts. But that was never their intentions in the first place.

When ABC sold WXYZ radio in the 1980’s, it became WXYT.
As I recall, they kept the TV station WXYZ.

If NBC is not the owner, shouldn’t it have a new name?
Is Microsoft involved any longer?

“Maybe a conservative can buy the network.”

Paging Mr. Elon Musk. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Maybe the contracts of their “talent” make this a losing proposition.

You really have to wonder why they kept paying for mediocrity. I always assumed that the Democrat Party was paying to keep it on the air.

Selling assumes a buyer. I wouldn’t offer $1 to take on the liabilities of these losers.

Why not just fire all those lying sacks of human debris and make it a real news network with no 2bit opinions.

ah, the perils of fake “news” posted by random twitter dudes ...

the reality is nothing more than a spinoff, not a sale (despite the fake headline about a selloff in this article):

https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2024/11/12/comcast-to-put-msnbc-and-oprah-founded-oxygen-networks-up-for-sale-in-cable-tv-sell-off/

“During the earnings call, Cavanagh mentioned that Comcast is considering creating a new, “well-capitalized company” that would house these cable networks, from MSNBC and CNBC to Bravo, Syfy, and Oxygen. This would make it a separate entity, but one still owned by Comcast shareholders. The goal? To streamline operations and give each segment the space to grow (or, in the case of cable networks, to stabilize in a very challenging media landscape).”
