I wonder how the breakup of MSNBC goes?

Joe and Mica will probably migrate to NBC. But where will the rest go? Thinking podcasts are the future for most....maybe start their own Medias Touch type network?

off several networks (MSNBC, CNBC, others) into a separate company, presumably so it allows them to be free of NBC and Peacock, so they can stream the channels on more platforms.

Hopefully less Turr and Mitchell and more O'Donnell, Madow, Phang, and Reid.

They could decide to make it a generic news channel like CNN... but it's possible (being free from NBC and cable) they could become even more liberal and decide to fully take on Fox in a way they've never been allowed to. Or they could just stay the same - we just don't know.

there when big news hits. MSNBC will be just a tiny station that nobody hears.

Loved Air America, hope this doesn’t turn out similarly.

I’m old, so don’t necessarily trust bloggers/podcasters as my main news. But younger folks embrace it. So it goes.
