just not part of NBC. Comcast uses these cable channels for its sports portfolio, too. With the Winter Olympics arriving in Feb, they'll be using USA and the other cable channels to broadcast the full range of winter olympic events.

Right now, MSNBC is on the tier above the one where FoxNews and CNN are. If you have that tier, you should continue to get MSNOW. But maybe Comcast will put MSNOW on the same lower tier as FoxNews and CNN. The network is carried by SiriusXM and on the SiriusXM app as well.

Chris Hayes' promo for the new name explaned that the network will be moving to new studio, but not sure if that's just within 30 Rock or at another location.

MSNOW is also hiring their own reporters and analysts. They've already got Carol Leoning, who is a top notch journalist, from the WaPo. They can probably pick up some great staffers from those fired at CBS and the other networks who are busy trying to please Trump.
