This seems like something that probably should have been done a while ago, but rumors have been in the air about MSNBC not renewing its lease in Secaucus, NJ and moving the entire operation to Manhattan. Makes sense, since NYC is the media capital and NBC is already housed at 30 Rock. Hey, maybe they can move there and rename the network 30 Rock? Oh, wait a minute...
I still think they should get rid of the MS part and just call it the NBC News Channel. Is Microsoft even a major player in the channel anymore, aside from having two letters in the name? They've already named Dan Abrams the new head and changed the graphics and thinking of moving to NYC, so why not go all the way and change the name too?

Microsoft must have some stake in NBC. If you try to open up The Early Nightly (NBC News) on this page in Firefox they require that you use the following
This product requires Microsoft© Internet Explorer 6, Microsoft© Media Player 10, and Macromedia Flash 6.
What a pain.

Changing the name is part of the plan. NBC bought out the Microsoft part of the deal.

this is what should go down at MSNBC
- Drop repreats of tucker and matthews and keep them live
Ex
Tucker - 6pm Eastern - 5pm Central - LIVE
Matthews 7pm Eastern - 6pm Central - LIVE
Then As Usual :
Olbermann 6pm Easten - 7pm Central
Scarborough 9pm Easten - 8pm Cental
but then you ask what about:
Alision Stewart : The Most
- 5pm Eastern 4pm Central
Reason:
Start Primtime When People Are Just Begining to get in the door and not be watching a re run.
i seen the ratings of msnbc with the re runs those ratings very if the show was any good when aired live correct? well who wants to watch a re run? from somthing you saw just an hour ago that sucked?
----
them you wonder about what about before Alisons show: the most:
Well lets start off with just airing MSNBC LIVE ( there daily news casters givin the latest news till
5pm Eastern - 4pm Central
then run primtime as follows now:
( MSNBC LIVE GOES BY THE HOUR OK so you run msnbc live
from
3pm Eastren Till 5pm Easten
2pm Central Till 4pm Cental
MSNBC LIVE - 2pm Eastern - 5pm Central Live
THEN
THE MOST - 5pm Eastern 4pm Central - LIVE
Tucker - 6pm Eastern - 5pm Central - LIVE
Matthews 7pm Eastern - 6pm Central - LIVE
Olbermann 6pm Easten - 7pm Central - LIVE
Scarborough 9pm Easten - 8pm Cental - LIVE
-----------
Get Rid of those god damn Old Documentry's there good for a friday night nothing else ok. they repeat During night and nothing else then once the like
3am Eastern and 4am easten come around
