Recently divested from the #Peacock branded #NBC mothership, MGMT at #MSNBC announce new name in corporate split from National Broadcasting Service. The left leaning editorialized cable news network, that once took on the MS in a 90s era partnership with #Microsoft , now is being divested by #Comcast and will become #MSNOW aka My Source News Opinion World owned by Versant.

Versant is a holding company created in the effort to spin off cable channels with fading revenues from core #NBCUniversal assets. The Comcast CEO's family wound up personally owning 33% of the joint venture.

Somehow #Versant owned #CNBC will be allowed to retain its current branding sans any #Peacocks in its logo, as will E! And USA Network. Earlier this month, #NBCSports and it's new separate holding co partner Versant renewed their joint broadcast rights to United States #Golf Association (#USGA) championships through 2032, with the Versant operated #USANetwork and #GolfChannel continuing to serve as the cable tv home of the events post-split.

In other #cable #sports broadcasting news is the creation of something called #GlobalNetworks, basically another possibly botched biz decision by David Zaslav's awkward WB/HBO/Discovery empire to split off the #Turner #TNTsports #broadcasting assets that currently hold the live #BroadcastRights to such iconic sports events as :

#NCAA Men’s #Basketball Tournament (through 2032)
#MLB (through 2028)
#NHL (through 2028)
#NCAA #Football Playoff (through 2028)
#NASCAR (through 2031)
And #FrenchOpen #Tennis (through 2034)

Goodbye, #MSNBC. Hello, MS NOW
[which reads like “Ms. Now”]

For 2 decades, #cable #news & progressive opinion has been defined by 5 capital letters: MSNBC.

As part of a #corporate spinoff from #Comcast, MSNBC is changing its name to “My Source News Opinion World”, or MS NOW, for short. The name is meant to reflect the channel’s mission to provide “breaking news & best-in-class opinion journalism,”MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler said.

😕 In the U.S., your #data #privacy rights as a #consumer are determined by the state you live in.

⭐ California's CCPA is the strongest / most extensive in the U.S..

This is from an email from PeacockTV (included with my internet). I filled out the form to prevent them using/selling my information. I received this as confirmation.

👉🏽 Remember: you have rights (in some states) but the burden is on the consumer to demand them.

✌🏽 When you VOTE please vote for folks supporting legislation to protect data privacy!

#Comcast (NBC) and #Paramount (CBS) are part of the #Republicans pedophile network or ( #RPN).

#Peacock and Paramount streaming are revenue negative for both CBS and NBC Pedophile networks. They lost the streaming wars and are both looking for a buyer bail-out or merger.

Ever notice NBC is always "concerned" and "shocked" at the #Republicans pedophile network? That is all the outrage NBC can summon.
Because it's all #Corporate during the commercials.
