MSNBC reveals new name it will take after spinoff strips off peacock logo
NY Post ^ | 8/18/25 | Taylor Herzlich and Alexandra Steigrad

Lefty cable channel MSNBC is being forced to take on a new name after its spinoff — as the NBC brand strips the network of its iconic peacock symbol.

Mark Lazarus, who will lead Versant, the new company consisting of MSNBC and other cable assets, announced that the channel will be renamed to MS NOW — short for My Source News Opinion World.

Its logo will change from NBC’s trademark rainbow peacock to a blue background with a red-and-white striped flag.

“As we all know, the peacock is synonymous with NBCUniversal, and it is a symbol they have decided to keep within the NBCU family,” he said in a memo Monday morning.

That’s a sharp turnaround from his assurances earlier this year that the cable news channel would be able to hold onto its name.

The hammer and sickle is a much more appropriate logo for these clowns.

They may want to reconsider having MS as the first part of their brand. When I see those letters, my first thought is Multiple Sclerosis, a permanent and very serious condition.

You can call a turd a bouquet but it’s still a turd.

Eskimos of old are said to have taken the same approach, putting a hopelessly ill family member on an ice floe and shoving it off into the sea.

Their first story with their new name will be about how mail-in voting should be outlawed.

Then again, probably not...
