Wow, Comcast is dumping MSNBC. It is spinning MSNBC and a bunch of other unprofitable cable channels into a separate company which means when you subscribe to Comcast you will no longer get MSNBC you will have to subscribe to it separately which nobody will. So say bye-bye because they're going to be gone. No wonder Joe Scarborough was in Florida kissing Trump's ass. His career has ended if MSNBC goes under.

gonna be ticked off if I have to pay extra for CNBC , which is included in the spin-off

MSNBC I can say bye bye to, but it will probably be bundled in

"For nearly a half-century Hollywood somehow convinced 100 million American households to pay a fortune for TV channels they never watched. If you want CSTV, you must subscribe to a bundle package that includes dozens of networks. If you only want Fox News and Turner Classic Movies, too bad because they only come with a bunch of basement-rated networks hardly anyone watches: CNN, MSNBC, MTV, Comedy Central, etc."

Not anymore, which means those bottom feeders will have to support themselves which is impossible to do because they have no viewers anymore. Remember the hay day of CNN when it was on in every Airport 24/7. Those days are long gone. When Trump disappeared in 2020 and there was no more Russia Russia Russia to scream at us all day long all the viewers went away and they're not coming back. You can only lie to everybody for so long before they eventually catch on. Fox News is doing just fine, it's not hard to figure out why.

Caroline Kennedy needs to crawl back in her libbie hole.

RFK Jr.’s vaccine views are ‘dangerous,’ Caroline Kennedy says

I'm really getting sick & tired of all the RFK jr slander. The man has more knowledge and integrity than everyone in the Diddycrat party put together!!

*Btw, it's Ams Watch: Day 15
Notice how nice this board has been in those 15 days? No stupid assassination jokes, no stupid KKK jokes.......none of that. Just peace and quiet. In fact, I don't even think the other libbies miss him lol

I pay for Fox News as part of a package. I'd be happy not to.

Well he certainly has surrounded himself with like-minded thinkers...to paraphrase Dorothy: "Dead dogs, cats and bears, oh my!"

Rush talked about this once and found a quote that said along the lines of if they did not make people subscribe nobody would subscribe. It is why I got rid of cable. The five channels I watched in the late-1990s are down to 2-3 now. I wish I could get just CNBC streaming for about $5 a month. When I was hospitalized I had that on 95% of the time, I like it for background noise if I am working at home. The business news they cover is usually good.

Podcasts and YouTube show that narrow shows do not need cable. Let this stuff die off. MSNBC has been a joke for years. The others are like a Vegas casino saying coffee only comes with the buffet.

The first time I heard Rush Limbaugh was in 1990 in my barber shop and everybody loved it. We hung on his every word and every customer laughed at his jokes and had a good time. That lasted about 6 months. The soccer moms would bring their four and five year old little snotty brats in to get a haircut and when they heard Rush Limbaugh they were totally appalled and so many of them complained that the barber had to get rid of listening to Rush. Women ruin everything.

Rush himself used to say you had to listen for 6 weeks to get the program and the point of it all. It took me a bit just like he said. The genre now seems to have moved from AM radio to YT and podcasts but Rush was still the pioneer of it all.
