MSNBC NOT
We've been hearing rumors for the past year, but now it's out that NBC has taken control or will soon take control of MSNBC.
Microsoft's NYC office is now in Rockefeller Center where NBC is headquartered, but MSN stayed out in Redmond. So much was expected of a cable channel part owned by Microsoft, but the best they could do was third place behind CNN and FOX.
I never saw anyone with a Tablet PC on MSNBC, or how about a show about personal computing? A televised conversation about technology and how it helps us to get stuff done is needed. Television never lived up to the promise of teaching everyone to read and now it has failed to help increase computer literacy.
The MSNBC Website will still bridge the two companies, but you never know where MSN is going to go next….
