Part of its split from Comcast, MSNBC will be renamed to My Source News Opinion World (MS NOW) and will acquire a new logo as a result of this historic change of ownership

Morning Joe hosts claim they love it. Everyone else says it sounds like a multiple-sclerosis charity with MS Paint branding.

MSNBC is forging a new path on the small screen. On Monday, August 18, the network announced that it will soon change its name to My Source News Opinion World, MS NOW for short, as a part of their separation from Comcast.

MSNBC's new name, 'MS NOW,' was mocked on social media on Monday as the branding change was compared to several failed computer software products.

And the new MS moniker could also cause some confusion with an emerging digital product tied to NBC News. NBC News Now is an ad-supported streaming service that has gradually expanded its hours and features shows led not only by “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Llamas, but also Hallie Jackson and Gadi Schwartz.

MSNBC is undergoing a rebrand. In the coming weeks or months (no date has been announced), the cable news channel will be called My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW. This, despite previous reports that the network wouldn’t be altering its name.

As NBCUniversal spins off its cable holdings, MSNBC is rebranding without the rainbow Peacock. When MSNBC spins off from NBCUniversal (NBCU) by the end of its year to become an independent company, it will have a new name and logo.

(Reuters) -Cable news channel MSNBC will rebrand as My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW, ahead of the planned spinoff of the bulk of parent Comcast's NBCUniversal cable networks later this year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
