MSNBC staff “optimistic” about the unknown lands that their network is heading as soon as they are completed with NBC news. With the exception of the new name of the channel, the most warmer reception did not receive.
On Monday, MSNBC announced the new name: MS Now, an abbreviation of “My My My News Source, OPINION, and the World”.
“I have seen someone a joke on social media, as we will only call it MS-13, which I thought was somewhat funny,” MSNBC told MSNBC. Fox News digital.
Liberal media division: Who gets what is in NBC-MSNBC divorce?
Last year, Komca announced that it is spinning Its cable networks in a separate company, are now called Versant. Versant will be the new home for MSNBC, CNBC, Usa Network, Oxygen, E! SYFY and golf channel are among other origins, while NBCunivesal News News, NBC News Network NOWINING Network, TEMUNDO and Bravo keep.
“I do not understand,” the employee said. “I was thinking if we changed our name, we must change it in a useful way, and this is not. This does not feel all this.”
The internal network knocked how the full name of the woman is now incorrect from the grammatical point of view and noted that although “news” and “opinion” are the standard in the press, “World” is not and global events will simply fall under the news and opinion.
They also pointed out that “MS”, which was the name of the network within the company, is the “least -related” part of the name since “MS” originally stood with Microsoft, the former NBC partner in the launch of the network, but cut relationships in 2012.
And they said about the name: “I assume that we rented experts for this, and this is somewhat confusing. I hope this is not an indication of how decisions are made in the future.”
One of those familiar with MSNBC II said it was good for the new network to have similar primary letters for familiarity with loyal viewers, but multiple sclerosis now was far from perfection. Third I love changing the name.
Trump drew MSNBC to change the name, the network says “Fail with any name”
While the first time of multiple sclerosis was now Bringing on social mediaEmployees are still positive before NBC split.
“The world of the media, especially the old media, has very split and things are so much that I think it is a kind of waiting and vision. The feeling of the people who run it is that they want to be entrepreneurship. They know that they can leave opportunities they could not eat under NBC.”
They added that there was a huge “bureaucracy” that MSNBC’s offers had to wrestle with COMCAST and NBC when it comes to expanding their offers or budgets.
“Just a layer, after the layer, after the layer,” they said.
The embarrassing marriage was crystallized at the times of NBC News and its progressive arm last year after the catastrophic employment, which did not last long for the former president of the National Republican Committee, Rona McDaniel, as a political analyst.
While NBC described the employment as the organization’s SAM DUK, MSNBC hosted a revolution on the air. In her first appearance on the air, McDaniel was subjected to a painful interview by her new colleague, “Christine Wilker, to” meet the press “on her previous efforts about canceling the 2020 elections and supporting Donald Trump.

MSNBC characters from “MORINING JOE” spoke to Nicolle Wallace to Rachel Maddow against this step publicly, and McDaniel was left less than a week later. Cesar Conde, head of the NBCUNIVERSAL News group, apologized to employees for the embarrassing episode that revealed a sharp interruption between NBC and MSNBC sensors.
“It was a noisy step,” said the informed. “There were dozens of people whose NBC could have been selected more sympathetic to the Republican Party and even Trump’s policies that did not carry the luggage it carried.”
The first interior is still “optimistic” with caution “about the future of their network after NBC.
“I think it’s best not to link to NBC. I actually think that the NBC brand loss is good for us,” said MSNBC. “Because NBC will be a target for this administration and everything in our grill will be about doing things that destroys its reputation and arrival with the administration. So, the more we have a relationship with NBC, the better.”
“I think that adhering to NBC would have been limited to us … We were not free to do what we wanted to do because he would be angry with COMCAST and NBC all the time, and it would have ended with Donald Trump sustaining NBC for something we said or say they wanted to cancel their licenses or anything else. I always thought we would be better than NBC.”
One of the informed Fox News Digital told that MSNBC’s colleagues continued to refer to Monday’s announcement in the name of “Independence Day”, describing the network’s liberation from her broadcaster.
MSNBC works on an employment spray because the network will lose all NBC news room resources as part of separation. As part of the divorce, NBC gets the house, which means that MSNBC is filling its boxes and leaves the Rockefeller Center in New York City and Washington DC in NBC, the office near the American Capitol.
The first MSNBC employee expected that MS now “will be released” when it is launched this fall, especially programming during the day, but he will eventually find his foot by January.
They said: “Where you will see the absence of news collection in our actual reports and in our days, they depend on the reporters a lot. This will fight, but Dayside struggles anyway.” “Primetime will turn naturally, because we have shareholders and have free guests and I think this will work well.”
MSNBC employees believe that the network is in a “strong situation” with its hostile dynamism with the Trump administration and adopts the role of “opposition”, separating itself from other networks and attracting liberal viewers who need an outlet to go during the current era of the government controlled by the Republic.
However, the “open question” owned by MSNBC employees relates to his new leadership of companies and mixed signals that they say they have received about the MS Now direction by the appointed CEO Mark Lazarros, who previously served as head of NBCunives and his flow.
“When the division was announced, and all people of MSNBC were asking Mark Lazaros, are we still tending to liberal views and all this kind of things? The first employee of MSNBC said:” At the best of 25 things, we are worried about it “and I think people read it means that we will be more conservative.
“Now we will start knowing what we are already applying to and whether this global coverage, whether these liberal situations, whether it is more than Republicans in the air, and more discussions, I think we have not been there yet,” they have continued. “I think it’s interesting to see brands appear before we are actually a discussion about who we are. I think they should get it because they actually should happen on TV, but we did not discuss the network level about who we are. As you know, our advertising campaign is,” this is from us. “I think most people in the building will wonder who we are.”
MSNBC spokesman Richard Hodok pushed strongly, telling Fox News Digital, “We have made it clear – repeatedly, in the registry, internally and externally – that the direction of the network does not change. Full stop.”
The notes sent by Lazarus and President of MSNBC Rebecca Kutler confirmed to employees, nothing will change next to her name.
“Although our name will change, and who we are doing will not do that,” Kotler wrote. “Our commitment to our work and our fans will not give up what the brand’s promise was for three decades.”
Hodok said on Monday that “the name is changing, but we are not,” Nasr on X that all the network hosts will “do what they always have done.”
