Drew 149 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Looks like MSNBC Live is gone. Starting tomorrow all shows are now Stephanie Ruhle Reports Hallie Jackson Reports Craig Melvin Reports Andrea Mitchell Reports Katy Tur Reports Ayman Mohyedlin Reports Weekends Gibson & Reiser Reports Alex Witt Reports Yasmin Vossoughian Reports I get renaming name but a little more variety between them would have been better.

Drew 149 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 It really hasn't been used in name in years. But I still think they could have chosen different names then all FIRST LAST NAMES Reports. Weekends I think they could have kept Weekends with Alex Witt and something more catchy then Gibson & Reiser Reports. I bet we will have brand new graphics launching tomorrow. Maybe a redesigned logo for the network that has MSNBC undder the peacock like NBC News does. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14525-msnbc-shake-up/page/21/#findComment-258344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner 216 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 MSNBC seriously has a branding problem with their direct "Newsroom" competing offerings. They keep changing things around and I get that that has to happen to see what works, but these new show names are just not it. I would hope that they're temporary because they're just convoluted. I still don't understand why they need so many different anchors throughout the day, but that's another issue.

ref1997 59 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 If anyone's awake, it seems they have just silently soft launched their new graphics during the overnight news update. "MSNBC NOW" is now rebranded as "MSNBC Reports", and their logo now adopts the font on their website. Gah I hate cable news channels attempt to look "young". This looks like some something NBCLX would pull off~ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14525-msnbc-shake-up/page/21/#findComment-258357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner 216 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Yeah the new lower-thirds and bug is definitely being rolled out right now for actual programming, as seen here on Way Too Early. Literally none of this rebranding was necessary. I admit the look is clean and simple, but the font still feels so off-brand (even if NBC News Now did use it for the longest time).

Action Newsroom 1283 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I like these. A lot of efforts looks to have been put into them and animate well and cleanly. And the use of the logos of the shows are another highlight in places. I enjoyed the last few packages and I will enjoy this one too.

mightynine 290 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Looks good to me. MSNBC desperately needed a refresh and all the different looks for different stories was a mess, IMO. The only thing that surprises me is that the refreshed logo on-air is NOT the same as the one that’s been online and on the NBC News app for a while now. Very similar, but you can tell the difference by the Cs. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14525-msnbc-shake-up/page/21/#findComment-258369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 863 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Not a bad refresh. I'm not a fan of the "live" and time not being on the screen all the time as they rotate with the show's name ("REPORTS" during the day). I also don't like how the lower-third shrinks when displaying someone's name (they've done this for a while). I do like the different colors for different shows and topics and how the bug's colors change to match.

MediaZone4K 2189 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) I don't mind all the shows being under a single brand but MSNBC should have stuck with the 'MSNBC Live' brand IMO. It gives a continuous coverage feel, and average viewers probably just say their watching MSNBC rather than the program name unless it's Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid etc.... The new L3's are more of the same but I prefer them over the previous package. Regardless cable news could stand to diversify itself from this heavy white box look. No gloss, no shine no transparency, just flat and white. From what I've seen sports channels like ESPN have completely outdone cable news where graphics and set design are concerned. Their early 2000s look was strong and more creative. Followed by their mid 00s and early 2010s looks.

Newsjunkie24 506 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Not a bad new look, they were probably about due. The new logo isn't bad, but I prefer the 2015 one better. MSNBC Reports isn't bad, although I prefer MSNBC Live a little better. Now it's time for CNN to upgrade their graphics, as they haven't changed much since 2014. CNBC might be due too. I didn't know they still did news cut-ins during non-news shows. I would have thought that they got rid of them when they added more hours of news. Tv Newser notes that this is the 2nd cable news channel to change the name of its general news program, as Fox News did it a few weeks ago. They are really changing things up for the new administration.

Yeah, CNBC has a unique style with the theatrical style music, flash graphics and constant sound effects. I'm thinking a font change too. The ticker's always been blue and white and I don't see that ever changing. Kind of like PTI on ESPN having looked and sounded the same since the show started 20 years ago. CNBC hasn't had any significant changes in at least 15 years, with a lot of the same anchors and reporters and analysts. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14525-msnbc-shake-up/page/21/#findComment-258384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I like the new MSNBC look. It's more refined and unique than the other one, that seemed like a giant CNN ripoff. It also ties in better to NBC News Now. I would imagine format-wise the main news is going to be covered on MSNBC while the NBC News Now is watered down as it is with breaking news and repeats of other NBC news shows. 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/14525-msnbc-shake-up/page/21/#findComment-258436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
