I don't know what you're talking about. But to play devil's advocate, what's their other option?

>>213803351
It is in the pic, retard.

>>213803389
There other option is to stay with a dying brand? Why are you mad that the are flailing for life?

>>213803462
It is a stupid way to do that.

Mean Sex NOW

tbf when i see MSNBC now I mentally associate it with Rachel Maddow screeching about russia gate for 4 years and then pretending she didn't after it resulted in nothing

>>213803263 (OP)
I'M OP AND I'M REALLY REALLY REALLY FUCKING CONCERNED ABOUT THE STATE OF AMERICAN TELEVISION!!!! >:(

>>213803263 (OP)
they spent years and millions of dollars trying to get people to forget what the MS stands for

>he doesnt remember when peacock was a conservative news channel, that flipped to be hyper liberal as msnpc, and is now flipping back to be a profacist err i mean globalist centrist news network

switching your name does work. npcs will forget.

Better programing

I feel like MSNBC lost its audience after Liberals stopped revolving around Orange Man Bad 24/7. During his first term it was nothing but wall to wall coverage of Comey's firing, Mueller Report, Charlottesville but now after he beat Kamala and won the popular vote they realized there's nothing they can do to stop Trump and have became indifferent about politics in general

Not being gay 'tarded commies?

Resulted in more than "nothing." Resulted in Obama being directly implicated.

What causes this phenomenon in America?

>>213803918
Trump winning the first time was just such a wild situation. Nobody cares anymore though, realizing that politics was simply adjusting to the silliness of the social media age.

Leftist viewers praise whatever their TV masters do.

>>213803992
You've clearly never watched MSNBC.

>>213803918
What do you mean? "Orange Man Bad" is still their main talking point.

>>213803263 (OP)
I remember when this news channel BEGAN so im happy to see it die.

>>213804066
It is but its no longer as mainstream as it once was. Compare 2016 to when there were riots and massive hysteria to Trump to 2024 when barely anyone seemed to care that he won again

>>213803263 (OP)
Nothing of value was lost, all the random letter stations have soulless logos and titles

I don't care, they're all dead and worthless brands regardless.

>>213803462
Because a name change does nothing to fix why they're going under. They have brand recognition. They just fucking suck. They sucked as MSNBC and they'll suck no matter what they call themselves.

>decades old identity
Microsoft bailed from the partnership like 20 years ago, so they've basically been using a stolen "identity" since then. What's more hilarious is what the new acronym is suppose to mean. My Source News Opinion World. They're basically putting the fact they're not actually presenting facts in the new name. The rebranding is what rebranding always is anyway, gaslighting to try and make people forget who they actually are and what they've done for decades

>2024 when barely anyone seemed to care that he won again
They cared. More than ever. But they realized 9 years of reeeeeeing didn't help at all. Now they think they're best play to end Trump is just let him finish his term.

>switching your name does work. npcs will forget.
It's weird they stuck with Microsoft for this long and I guess will continue doing so, since that company isn't really seen as being on the cutting edge like it was in the 80s and 90s

>alright folx its time to do the news
>***librarian glasses intensify***

>>213804616
They think the association makes them seem techy and with it

>>213804786
Just shows how out of touch they are. I think by the mid 00's Microsoft was just seen as the Windows/Office company

>>213803263 (OP)
Why even keep the MS part? That's back from when Microsoft was involved.

instead of losing the MS and just being NBC News...which sounds strong/trusting, they go the other way and sound like a jeet ai youtube channel.

For a Television and Film board you niggers are pretty ill-informed about the entertainment biz and pretty annoyingly confident in that ignorance.
NBC-Universal is a division of Comcast. Versant is a seperate division compromising all of the former NBC cable channels (dead format walking). It's been known for over a year that the spin-off would affect NBC branding on sister stations. Holy fuck.

>lets just destroy our decades-old identity
thats all leftists are good at so makes sense

>>213804455
the best part of this is that nothing will continue to happen

>>213803263 (OP)
they had no choice. They were part of a media package split off from the NBC brand, and NBC wasn't going to let them use either the name or the peacock, which is being held by the old company as part of the Peacock network

>>213803263 (OP)
My company went through a brand change and it took months and months of research + planning. MSNBC are lazy assholes. Anything else would be better!

>>213807376
the fact that the "w" in their new name = world suggests that they will try to laterally expand into world news, like Sky News has done with their online channel

>>213803263 (OP)
MSNBC told me to take the vaxx and I have MS NOW.

>>213803800
Microsoft, right?

>>213803718
America is doing better than ever before and the trick was to deregulate the country and give more power to the rich and giant companies. Cope harder you commie leftist.

What you now know as 'abc' used the be the NBC Blue Network. When abc became independent, they had to rebrand instead of using NBC's name. Same thing here with MSNBC.

>>213803800
Given that their primary demographic is unmarried cat women, MS is fitting.

The reason the kept the MS is because the only people still watching it are old ladies with MS who can't work the remote control anymore.

>>213803263 (OP)
For many years now they've been not doing do hot. This will be the final nail it seems. Sad

It stands for "My Source, News, Opinion, World."
The My Source bit is funny in a way they didn't intend.

Their one and only source of "thinking". All others locked out.

So is Versant just a company designed to fail/eventually be parted out?

What an oddball assortment of channels.

>>213808029
Looks like a last-ditch effort to return them to viability by giving them more autonomy, but everyone kind of knows they're going to be sold or will fold
