Thus their attempt at a strategically placed spacing (or a hyphen as I've seen occasionally). MS NOW hlthe2b Nov 2025 #7

They had no choice but to legally rename... part of the divestiture by Comcast and its former NBC alignment hlthe2b Nov 2025 #2

Fear of TACO is driving this. The CBS caving in scared NBC. marble falls Nov 2025 #3

I'm guessing the potential for MSNBC angering Trump has Comcast afraid of future reprisals? Ilikepurple Nov 2025 #29

Does anybody here know WHY they changed the name? CTyankee Nov 2025 #4

If one believes AI, this is the reason-- Silent Type Nov 2025 #10

Well, that makes some sense. Does anybody care? CTyankee Nov 2025 #11

As long as Maddow, Wallace, etc., continue, don't think it will make much difference. Silent Type Nov 2025 #13

Hubby loves Wallace. I don't particularly love anyone in the media but I do watch Morning Joe. CTyankee Nov 2025 #17

It is no longer associated with NBC either MichMan Nov 2025 #16

Oh, didn't realize that...hmmm... wcmagumba Nov 2025 #19

Indeed. Why keep the MS when Microsoft hasn't been involved for years? Sibelius Fan Nov 2025 #30

I would rather they change their name than change their people! TommyT139 Nov 2025 #12

On the plus side, I didn't see one "mentor" PSA when I watched this morning. Vinca Nov 2025 #14

Dumb old guy here, what is a "Mentor" PSA? wcmagumba Nov 2025 #15

A public service announcement pitching mentoring. Lately, MSNBC has been showing about 6 in a row about every hour. Vinca Nov 2025 #21

Ms Now and Then - sounds like a feminist pageant- an omen? delisen Nov 2025 #27

Meh. Whatever. Probably a good thing to disassociate with NBC. ABC and CBS are down, NBC will go down too. Scrivener7 Nov 2025 #22

Fine with me. lamp_shade Nov 2025 #23
