MSNBC Will Change Name to MS
Digest more
MSNBC announced a new name for the network on Monday after being thrown out of the NBCUniversal club and forced to drop both the NBC and the peacock logo from their branding. The network’s new name will be MS NOW.
CNN's Marcus Mabry, Crooked Media’s Madeleine Hareringer, and ABC News’ Scott Matthews are among the big names joining the executive suite. It is losing Steve Kornacki to NBC but gaining NBC's Jacob Soboroff (both had split their time in recent years.)
The new name and logo, of course, is part of a larger restructuring plan by parent company Comcast to split off a large portion of its cable assets – which includes MSNBC, CNBC and other networks – from NBCUniversal, which will keep the NBC broadcast network and other media properties.
