Comcast's corporate reorganization will move cable news channels CNBC and MSNBC, along with other TV brands, into a new company tentatively named SpinCo, sparking speculation about their future.

After the announcement, some users on X, formerly Twitter, speculated that the reorganization signaled MSNBC was up for sale. Among them was Donald Trump Jr., son of President-elect Donald Trump.

On Friday, Trump Jr. jokingly suggested that Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the world's richest man and a Trump surrogate, buy the progressive network, calling it the "funniest idea."

MSNBC faces questions about its future, including whether it will retain its name. MSNBC's staff and studios are housed in the same Rockefeller Center offices as NBC News, but it remains uncertain whether they will stay there, according to remarks made by Lazarus to MSNBC employees on Wednesday.


Can you imagine the literal Rachel working for Elon Musk!!!!!?

Oh, please please please please please please!!!!!

    "...the progressive network..." snicker.

    Rachel is already a whore for the GOP. She said straight up Roger Ailes is/was one of her mentor/idols. I'd love to see Leon throw more of his time and money away on a dying network of ex-Fox reporters pretending to be "liberal".

    MSNBC Viewership Craters -38%,
    CNN -27%,
    While Fox News Audience Jumps +41% Post-Election
    [1]

    indy's cartoon channel for children was unchanged. That makes sense, because they don't know anything different.

    Rachel Maddow Reportedly Taking Massive Pay Cut At MSNBC As Worries Loom Over Shake-Up

    Her pay is cut by $5MILLION/ yr.[2]

    Out of the top three channels, ABC, CBS, and NBC, CBS Evening News with Norah O’Donnell was the only program to see a week-to-week gain in total viewers and otherwise joined the ABC and NBC in dropping double digits with the Adults 25-54 demo. ABC was the only network to see declines in both measured categories.

    Sounds like not only did the voters leave the dim party, they left their news sources also.[3]

    Another thing you're comically inept at understanding - TV ratings and what they actually mean. Let's get straight to the gist of things because - again - this subject is far too large to explain to someone as bereft of useful information on the issue as you are. From your link...

    From the day after the election to date, MSNBC has averaged a total day viewership of 521,000 — down 38% from its 2024 average through election day — while CNN averaged 367,000 total viewers — a 27% decline from before the election, according to Nielsen figures. Meanwhile Fox News saw a
    41% boost in total day viewership, now averaging 2.001 million viewers.


    Let's go right to Fox - 2 million viewers. Looks and sounds like a lot compared to the weak MSNBC and CNN numbers - however it's just as pathetic as the others. 2 million viewers is about 1/2 of 1% of the American population. So one out of 200 people watch Fox regularly. There are many reasons for this - not the least of which is television is a dying format just like print media. Talk to some kids - they don't watch TV. The reason the numbers dropped after the election is simple - the election is over so there's no political news to follow on political news stations.

    It's not surprising that FOX is up and MSNBC is down. It's a little like a viewership by sports fans during the playoffs. If your team is out of the running, you and your fellow fans in that team's viewing area will be less inclined to watch the games. If your team is winning, then you are more interested in watching.

    And yet what we are talking about is AFTER the election. Who viewers are choosing to get their information from. Your holy grail lied. It really is that simple. It's not reliable.

    They also had a hit after the FBI came out and certified pedojr's laptop. OOPS! They had to eat crap on that whole thing. THEN FBI/DOJ ADMITTED they LIED about trumpster's "Russia Hoax" and the Steele Dossier." OOPS! And now... all of the bullshit "trials" are being vacated, or suspended. The public saw NY changed the crime specifically to indict trumpster. THE DA SAID THAT IN HER ELECTION! To "normal" Americans, they are/were bullshit.

    The public saw that. And they may have not voted FOR trumpster, but they were damned sure not going to vote for the corruption and anti-constitutional behaviour they've had in both the obomber and pedojoe reign.

    Something of interest that is relevant. "‘Morning Joe’ continues to lose viewers each day since MSNBC hosts revealed Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump"
    During the program’s 6 a.m. ET hour on Monday, Scarborough and Brzezinski revealed they traveled to Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Friday to meet with Trump, who the married co-hosts spent years insisting was a "fascist" and an overall threat to democracy.

    MSNBC’s "Morning Joe" has averaged 1.1 million total viewers from 6-9 a.m. ET in 2024, but Monday’s audience fell to 769,000 as liberal viewers changed the channel after the powwow with Trump was revealed.


    So obviously "indy" isn't and doesn't know what it's talking about. These numbers are watched daily. Numbers give you higher ratings, which give you higher revenue for commercials (ala Superbowl). I suppose if you look at it from a Marxist/Communist point of view he may be correct. That said, I don't really care what they say.

    Good lord I'm talking to a child. 🙄

    First off, yes the numbers are daily - but they don't add up the way you think they do. If it's one million per day - it's not 5 million for a 5 day week... it's still right around 1M +/- because it's the SAME PEOPLE tuning in. They're not getting a whole new set of viewers.

    So far as the ratings, the 521K MSNBC gets is putting them out of business - that's why they're grouping all those channels together - to save cash. However, to go from 500K to 2M is not the leap you think it is. Joe Rogan has something like 18M subscribers listening to his podcasts. That's one guy in his basement with a microphone. The other problem for Fox is their audience is dying off. TV is not the draw it was - kids don't watch it and the folks who do are dinosaurs like you, OD.

    You're just making shit up. You're stupid and uneducated. give it up


  8. by Indy! on November 23, 2024 11:16 pm

    I took the numbers from your source - did you read it? And I’m actually quite educated. What do you think graphic artists do? We work in advertising and marketing.

    It's not surprising that FOX is up and MSNBC is down. It's a little like a viewership by sports fans during the playoffs.

    But, MSNBC and CNN viewers love to hate Trump. My guess is that the haters will be back once the dust settles.

    But you're a failure at that🤔. You couldn't have learned too much🤣.

    That's funny. The guy who policed up cig butts for a "living" thinks I'm a failure. Collect your welfare check every month and be glad there are people like me in your world paying your bills for you.
