T.L. Hughes 889 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I'd expand on that and offer up "NBC NEWS NOW." It may look like a lot in print, but takes just as long to say as msnbc. It can be called "NEWS NOW" for short. NBC Now or NBC News Channel might work. Though there would be branding issues with calling it NBC News Now. On one hand, they probably would want to keep the NBC name in any shorthand on-air references, but on the other, using NBCNN for short might create quite a bit of viewer confusion with you know which network...

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 What about Universal News? You could also rebrand CNBC as Universal Business and buy the rest of The Weather Channel and call it Universal Weather.

IndyNewsGuy 13 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I vote for "NBC Nonstop". It works on all fronts including the "now-ness" feel, news and editorials.

ns8401 941 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 How about taking a page from FOX's book? NBC News. Short sweet and to the point. Other names are just gloss on the obvious fact that MSNBC is intricately tied to NBC News even if as I've noted before NBC dislikes MSNBC at times.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Linking this because msnbc has begun to stop using their "Lean Forward" slogan. http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/msnbc-begins-pivot-towards-live-breaking-news-coverage/268736 All I can say is, good! It was stupid to start off with. Only good it ever did was get the other networks talking and countering with their own short-lived slogans, like Fox News' "Move Forward" (which I believe was better). "Lean/Move Forward" is way too political sounding. Hard to believe they had it for nearly 5 years too. Wow. Honestly, they might be better of not having a slogan for some time.

Glimmer 282 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton to become a weekly Sunday morning show; final weekday airing is next Friday with the new Sunday morning PoliticsNation beginning exactly a month later on October 4. Another rolling news hour will take its place at 6pm. Another unconfirmed rumor has The Rachel Maddow Show and All In with Chris Hayes swapping timeslots starting September 14, though again this is unconfirmed.

Yes, I get that nothing's confirmed, but... Well, they have to find some place to stick BriWi at, as just anchoring breaking news coverage won't be enough. Joe Concha surmised the same thing a few days ago on Mediaite. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/source-diaz-balart-to-remain-on-msnbc-weekdays-but-loses-2nd-hour-of-the-rundown/ Update from Joe Concha...

BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 "MSNBC is expected to announce its 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. lineup soon. But Williams will not have a dedicated hour on the schedule, say network executives. Rather, he'll work on various afternoon programs as news warrants." http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/brian-williams-make-msnbc-debut-821727 Don't be so certain that Brian Williams gets a slot, at least not right away.
