RIP MSNBC

[DanOregon]

I have seen some major whiffs in re-branding, but this is about as dumb as it gets.
There hasn't been Microsoft involvement for at least a decade, and now NBC is bailing. And yet they dump the NBC and keep the MS? Why not do a total re-brand? And what is the new enterprise going to do for "news credibility?" Hire a newsroom?

I assume NBC doesn't want its letters on there so it will stop getting murdered in Trump's drive bys.

MS NOW?

LMAO

YankeeFan's blood just started pumping and its not from coffee.

Ms Now sounds like a third-rate women's magazine from the 1970s.

Isn't MS Now what Hillary had?

It was MS now too. That's why she wasn't fit to lead.

But CNBC is keeping its name

Or generic Crystal Light.

Original,eh?

I live with MS Now everyday. Thanks for the constant reminder, NBC.

Imbeciles.

 

[Meat Slapping Sound]

It'll be called HBO Max within the year.

As long as they keep the gratefruit flavor, I'm fine with it.

“What do we want?!”

“MS!!!”

“When do we want it?!!!”

“NOW!!!!”

 

[Here me roar]

So I don't mind them keeping the Ms because the MS was what separated them from regular NBC. MSNOW? I don't know. Does it suck? Maybe. What would you have named it?

The MS is there because it started as a co-owned project by NBC and Microsoft.

Bring back Dev Null. That guy deserved better.

We’d be better off if all cable news outlets of every stripe were fired into the sun.
