NBC Forces MSNBC to Change Its Name
Digest more
The cable news channel is getting a new name and dropping NBC's peacock logo as part of a spinoff from NBC Universal.
MSNBC will change its name to My Source News Opinion World (MS NOW) and unveil a new logo later this year as part of the cable news channel’s spinoff from the Comcast-owned media company NBCUniversal.
Part of its split from Comcast, MSNBC will be renamed to My Source News Opinion World (MS NOW) and will acquire a new logo as a result of this historic change of ownership
The change, announced on Monday, comes as MSNBC has been building its own news division, as NBC News will no longer be a sister outlet following the spinoff. MSNBC and other Comcast cable networks will be part of a separate company, Versant, led by Mark Lazarus.
The name change was ordered by NBC Universal, which last November spun off cable networks USA, CNBC, MSNBC, E! Entertainment, Oxygen, and the Golf Channel into its own company, called Versant.
Reactions rolled out on the news that MSNBC is getting a new name, MS NOW, and a new logo that drops the peacock symbolism.
The cable news network will adopt the new name MS NOW ahead of its spinoff from NBCUniversal.
