MSNBC’s new name will be MSNOW – Screencap of Twitter/X video.
MSNOW, the left wing network formerly known as MSNBC, is dropping the charade of being a ‘news’ network to focus on their real money maker, which is anti-Trump resistance TV shows.
This is actually a smart move for them.
People who watch MSNOW are not going there for news, they watch to have their anti-Trump biases confirmed. They watch to cheer on as the hosts insult Trump and all things Republican.

Rating MS DOWN? MS NOW Shakes Up Network Line Up, Anchors Out
After being cast out into the wilderness by NBCUniversal last year, things didn’t appear to be going well for the rebranded “MS NOW.” On Wednesday, a shakeup was announced that saw daytime completely reshaped with two anchors losing their seats with at least one already announcing that she had quit, Morning Joe experiencing some shrinkage, while a new face would appear during the 11th Hour, among other shifts.
Going down the line up, first, Morning Joe will be losing an hour. After spending some time at an inflated four hours of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski shrieking at the camera, the purported preferred morning show for Washington D.C. insiders would be returning to just three hours.
Anchor Stephanie Ruhle will be leaving The 11th Hour and taking over that lost hour from Morning Joe, as well as the following one. Meaning her time slot would be 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
One of the more noteworthy line items in the shakeup was Ana Cabrera losing her position as an anchor of the 11a a.m. slot, and her announcement that she would be leaving the company.

MS NOW leans into its liberal identity by rolling back on straight news programs, insiders say
One network insider told Fox News Digital that MS NOW is veering away from the “Andy Lack nonsense” of the editorial programming separations between daytime and primetime, referring to the network’s former chairman during its MSNBC days from 2015-2020.
“Both internally and to the viewer, the distinctions are less clear than they used to be, including the distinctions between perspective and news,” the MS NOW staffer said. “The sort of the general weakening of CNN has caused MS NOW to lean more into what it is and what its viewers like.”
The insider pointed to the success of “Deadline: White House” hosted by Nicolle Wallace, highlighting how her 4 p.m. show earns viewership that rivals the network’s primetime programming.
“What we’re finding is you can achieve that in different parts of the day if you don’t pretend to be CNN for half your lineup,” the MS NOW staffer said. “So, I think what you’re going to be seeing is changes to shows that just seem like news, right?
“The Ana Cabrera, Chris Jansing thing — those are disappearing. I think you’re gonna see that throughout the lineup. Everything’s going to feel a little more MS NOW all the way through.
MSNOW knows which side of their bread is buttered. They’re leaning into the programming that their fans demand.
FOX News still dominates cable news ratings, but as you can see from the numbers below, some shows on MSNOW are pulling in decent returns.
CNN is completely lost.
CNN continues to get absolutely OBLITERATED in the ratings.
It’s not even close.
