America's Talking, a cable television channel created by NBC and spun off from CNBC, was launched on July 4, 1994. Roger Ailes, then president of America's Talking, was passed over when NBC executives were looking for someone to run their new cable news operation. Roger Eugene Ailes (born May 15, 1940) is the president of Fox News Channel and chairman of the Fox Television Stations Group. Ailes subsequently joined News Corporation as president of the newly-formed CNN rival, Fox News Channel.

MSNBC's launch

MSNBC was launched on July 15, 1996. The first show, which was anchored by Jodi Applegate, broadcast a lineup of news, interviews, and opinions. Jodi Applegate (born May 2, 1964 in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania) is an American News anchor. [3] During the day, rolling news coverage continued with The Contributors, a show that featured Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, as well as interactive programming coordinated by Applegate, John Gibson, and John Seigenthaler, Jr. Stories were generally longer and more detailed than the stories running on CNN at the time. Ann Hart Coulter (born December 8 1961 is an American Political commentator, Syndicated columnist, and best-selling Author. Laura Anne Ingraham (born June 19, 1964) is an American radio host, Author, and conservative political commentator John David Gibson (born July 25, 1946) is an American Conservative radio talk show host John Michael Seigenthaler (ˈsiːgɛnˌθɔːlɚborn December 21, 1955) is an American former news anchor and correspondent [4]

MSNBC originally demonstrated the interactive value of the internet. The Internet is a global system of interconnected Computer networks The network's first slogan was It's Time to Get Connected, and e-mail addresses and phone numbers were displayed regularly. [5]

Primetime featured an hour-long interview program called Internight (which showcased the stars of NBC News),[6] followed by the network's flagship newscast, The News with Brian Williams, and The Site, a show about the internet and computers co-hosted by Soledad O'Brien and a computer-generated character played by Leo Laporte. The News with Brian Williams, which debuted on July 15, 1996 (the day MSNBC first signed on the air was the former flagship signature news broadcast on The Site, hosted by Soledad O'Brien, was an hour-long TV program devoted to the Internet revolution María de la Soledad Teresa O'Brien (born September 19, 1966 in St Leo Gordon Laporte (born November 29, 1956 in New York City, New York) is an American Technology broadcaster and [7] The first Internight included an interview with President Bill Clinton, who took questions from callers and e-mailers. William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III, August 19 1946 served as the forty-second President of the United States [8] Other shows that made use of the internet included News Chat featuring Mary Kathleen Flynn, and a look into the past with Time & Again, anchored by Jane Pauley. Margaret Jane Pauley (born October 31, 1950, in Indianapolis Indiana) is an American Television Journalist, and has been Black Entertainment Television host Ed Gordon also contributed to the new network by hosting the Saturday version of Internight. Edward "Ed" Lansing Gordon Jr ( July 1 1908 &ndash September 5, 1971) was an American athlete who competed mainly

The start was a bit bumpy due to a series of changes in management and continuing internal squabbles over the direction of the network. Some NBC affiliates were concerned that cross-promotion would divert viewers from their own programs, although that fear abated. [9] However, MSNBC was often first to break news. It broke the story of the crash of TWA Flight 800 eight minutes before CNN, ushering in an era of hypercompetitiveness between the news channels that continues today. Trans World Airlines (TWA Flight 800 was a scheduled international passenger flight from John F [10]

MSNBC signed a simulcast agreement with Infinity Broadcasting station WFAN to carry the Imus in the Morning radio show, which began on September 2, 1996. This article is about the radio group for the radio network see CBS Radio Network. WFAN (660 AM) also known as "Sports Radio 66" or "The FAN", is a Radio station in New York City.

Secaucus is a town in Hudson County, New Jersey, USA. As of the United States 2000 Census, the town population was 15931 [12]

MSNBC evolves

The network's goal of attracting a younger, tech-savvy audience failed to materialize. In September 1997, MSNBC laid off 20% of its staff[13] and canceled The Site due to low ratings and the press of a news story (the death of Princess Diana), causing howls of protest from its viewers, many of whom considered O'Brien a cult figure. A cult following is a group of fans devoted to a specific area of Pop culture. [14] The network began moving away from its internet roots and began covering fashion and celebrity like its competitors. [15] In October 1997, Internight was replaced with The Big Show, hosted by Keith Olbermann, in hopes that his irreverent style would spike up ratings. Keith Olbermann (born January 27 1959 is an American Sportscaster, news anchor, and Political commentator. [16] After its first year, the network had 24,000 households viewing it per night, well short of the 578,000 of CNN and the 30,000 of Fox News (which was four months younger than MSNBC)[17]

The MSNBC web site remained relatively successful, becoming the most-used online news site in 1997,[18] 1998,[19] and 1999. [20] MSNBC significantly increased during the impeachment of Bill Clinton, following a new "covering the Big Story" format that provided saturation coverage for the top stories. Former President of the United States Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998 Keith Olbermann left over MSNBC's continuing focus on the impeachment. He returned in 2003 as host of Countdown, currently the network's most popular show. When Olbermann left "The Big Show" he was replaced by John Hockenberry, who achieved some success. John Hockenberry (b June 4, 1956) is an American journalist He has won four Emmy awards and three Peabody Awards Hockenberry accepted Hockenberry's Edgewise program focused on newsmakers and showed off Hockenberry's documentary skills. Ratings began to drop, however, after the impeachment trial was completed. Fox beat MSNBC in numbers of viewers per 24 hours, particularly impressive considering MSNBC's distribution advantage. NBC News stars began shunning the network. Low-rated chat shows such as Watch It, and Equal Time, a Crossfire knockoff, filled out the schedule. crossfire (also known as "interlocking fire" is a military term for the siting of weapons (often automatic weapons such as machine guns so that their arcs of fire overlap [21] Hockenberry was replaced after six months by a rebroadcast of Hardball from CNBC. Hardball with Chris Matthews is a Talk show on MSNBC broadcast weekdays at 5 and 7 PM hosted by Chris Matthews. CNBC (an abbreviation for the " C onsumer N ews and B usiness C hannel" its official name until 1991 is a cable and [22]

That show was replaced by Headliners and Legends, a biography program that has been a weekend staple on the network ever since. Also in 1999, the management of MSNBC replaced midday news coverage with a delayed broadcast of NBC News Today called Today on MSNBC and repackaged Dateline NBC stories into MSNBC Investigates, a decision that angered NBC affiliates. On the other hand, 1999 saw a partnership with the Washington Post that permitted more integrated coverage on the web site. The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated Newspaper in Washington D [23]

On April 3, 2000, a show named Home Page hosted by three women—Ashleigh Banfield, Gina Gaston, and Mika Brzezinski—began. Ashleigh Dennistoun Banfield (born December 29 1967 in Winnipeg Manitoba) is a Canadian -born journalist currently hosting Gina Gaston (born January 14, 1966) is a television journalist and currently the lead female anchor for KTRK-TV in Houston Texas. Mika Emilie Leonia Brzezinski (born May 2, 1967) is a television news journalist at MSNBC. [24] Along with Home Page, MSNBC tried to attract female viewers by signing a deal in February 2001 with Detroit radio station WJR to simulcast the first two hours of The Mitch Albom Show. While the pairing was a ratings winner, both shows would eventually be canceled: Home Page due to sinking ratings; and The Mitch Albom Show due to its frequent preemptions and some disagreements with the MSNBC management.

In 2000, John Gibson, one of the original MSNBC hosts, left the network. His confrontational tenure as the host of the Feedback primetime program foreshadowed his opinion program on the Fox News Channel. [25] MSNBC continued to repackage NBC News programs (Special Edition and Crime Files), and during the 2000 presidential election cycle, reporters and interviews were cycled constantly between broadcast NBC and the cable news channel. The United States presidential election of 2000 was a contest between Democratic candidate Al Gore, then Vice President, and Republican [26] MSNBC also commissioned original documentaries similar to The Discovery Channel for use as filler on weekends. Discovery Channel is an American Satellite and Cable TV channel (also delivered via IPTV, Terrestrial television and Later in the year, Lester Holt received kudos for his daily coverage of the Florida election controversy, allowing MSNBC to beat Fox News during November 2000. Lester Holt (born March 8, 1959 in Marin County California) is an American Anchor for NBC News ' weekend NBC Nightly [27]

On October 22, 2007 MSNBC and NBC News launched broadcasts from new studios at NBC's "30 Rock" complex in New York City. After extensive renovations of the associated studios, NBC essentially merged its entire news operation into one building, and all MSNBC broadcasts, as well as the NBC Nightly News program, originate in the new studios. NBC Nightly News is the flagship evening news program for NBC News and broadcasts from the GE Building, Rockefeller Center in New York City. MSNBC is also expected to expand West Coast operations, as the network recently announced new studios near the Universal Studios lot, which will assemble all NBC West Coast news operations in one building. MSNBC's Master Control did not make the move to 30 Rock. It remained in the old Secaucus headquarters until it completed its move to the NBC Universal Network Origination Center located inside the CNBC Global Headquarters building in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, on December 21, 2007.

Ratings

By the start of 2001, MSNBC continued to trail both Fox News and CNN. With the success of Fox News Channel, MSNBC tried to emulate the Fox News Channel's emphasis on opinion hosts. [28] In January 2001, Mike Barnicle got a show on MSNBC, but it was canceled in June 2001 due to high production costs. Michael Barnicle (born 13 October 1943 in Worcester Massachusetts) is an American newspaper writer and has been a newspaper columnist for more [29] In June, in a sign of continuing trouble of MSNBC, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that he would not have started MSNBC if he knew then what he knows now. Steve Anthony Ballmer (born March 24 1956 is an American Businessman. [30] After the September 11, 2001 attacks, MSNBC served as an outlet for NBC News to provide up-to-the-minute coverage, in contrast to broadcast NBC's longer stories. CNBC and CNBC Europe, with little financial news to report, ran MSNBC for many hours of the day following the attacks. The year also boosted the profile of Ashleigh Banfield, who had escaped injury while covering the World Trade Center on September 11. Ashleigh Dennistoun Banfield (born December 29 1967 in Winnipeg Manitoba) is a Canadian -born journalist currently hosting Events 9 - The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest ends 506 - The Bishops of Visigothic Gaul Her Region In Conflict program capitalized on her newfound celebrity and showcased exclusive interviews from Afghanistan.

In 2002, MSNBC's focus continued on opinion journalism and low ratings. MSNBC scored up to triple the usual ratings during the 2002 Winter Olympics, airing several events, but this success was not due to news programming. The 2002 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XIX Olympic Winter Games were a Winter Multi-sport event which was celebrated in 2002 [31] Alan Keyes is Making Sense debuted in January, featuring the conservative one-time candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination. Alan Lee Keyes (born August 7 1950 [32] MSNBC rebranded itself as America's NewsChannel, with a patriotic theme proclaiming MSNBC to be fiercely independent. [33] Jerry Nachman joined MSNBC as its editor-in-chief and host of a news analysis program in May, and liberal talk-show pioneer Phil Donahue began hosting an evening talk show in July. Jerome A "Jerry" Nachman ( February 24, 1946 – January 19, 2004) born in Brooklyn and raised in Pittsburgh Phillip John "Phil" Donahue (born December 21, 1935 in Cleveland Ohio) is an American media personality and Writer, best known as [34] The News with Brian Williams was moved to CNBC, leaving MSNBC with primarily opinion shows in the evening. CNBC (an abbreviation for the " C onsumer N ews and B usiness C hannel" its official name until 1991 is a cable and In the afternoon, the cable network replaced rolling news coverage with talk shows featuring Curtis Sliwa, Ron Kuby, Bill Press, and Pat Buchanan. Curtis Sliwa (born March 26, 1954 in Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York) is an anti-crime activist founder of the Guardian Angels Ronald L Kuby (born July 31, 1956 in Cleveland Ohio) is a criminal defense and Civil rights lawyer, radio talk show host and TV Bill Press (born 1940 is a Political commentator for Fox News and author Patrick Joseph "Pat" Buchanan (born November 2 1938 is an American Political commentator, Author, syndicated Columnist [35]

The experiment did not last long. Keyes was gone by July. Sliwa and Kuby were removed in October, and Nachman's show was moved in October. Donahue's ratings plummeted, from 660,000 households in his first week to just 136,000 households in his sixth week, a drop of 80%. [36] The network was regularly beaten in the ratings by CNN Headline News. Headline News is a Spin-off network from the original Cable News Network ( CNN) television news network in the United States. Overall, ratings dropped 36% from the previous year. [37] MSNBC publicly proclaimed support for Donahue and moved some shows to try to stabilize his ratings, helping to increase his viewership to 446,000 households. [38] Donahue himself claimed that MSNBC was trying to "out-fox" Fox by removing him and adding conservative Joe Scarborough to the lineup. Charles Joseph "Joe" Scarborough (born April 9 1963) is an American cable news host and former Politician. [39] Donahue's time slot was replaced by Countdown with Keith Olbermann.

In March 2003, MSNBC featured a weekend show hosted by conservative radio host Michael Savage. Michael Alan Weiner (born March 31 1942 in New York City) better known by his Savage snapped at a prank caller on his show, calling him a "pig" and a "sodomite," telling him that he "should get AIDS and die," and to "go eat a sausage and choke on it. " Savage was immediately fired. [40]

On December 23, 2005, it was announced that NBC Universal would acquire an additional 32% share of the television network from Microsoft, solidifying its control over television operations and allowing NBC to further consolidate MSNBC's backroom operations with NBC News and its other cable properties. MSNBC. com would continue to be 50% owned by both NBC and Microsoft, and its operations would be largely unaffected. NBC would have the option to buy the remaining 18% share from Microsoft after two years. Rumors circulated that the cable network would eventually be rebranded as NBC News Channel, a name currently used for the network's news service to NBC affiliates.

In June of 2006, Don Kaplan of the New York Post (owned by News Corporation, which also owns Fox News Channel) wrote a column titled "Do We Need MSNBC?" Addressing MSNBC'S low ratings, Kaplan quoted CNN co-founder Reese Schoenfeld, who said that "[e]verybody compares MSNBC to Fox and CNN — when its real competition is Headline News". The New York Post is the 13th-oldest Newspaper published in the United States and generally acknowledged as the oldest to have been published continually News Corporation (often abbreviated to News Corp) (,,) is one of the world's largest media conglomerate companies by Market capitalisation Cable News Network, usually referred to by its Initialism CNN, is a major English language Television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner Headline News is a Spin-off network from the original Cable News Network ( CNN) television news network in the United States. Schoenfeld pointed out that the ratings for MSNBC and Headline News are roughly the same, about 300,000 viewers on average and that "by comparison, Fox and CNN regularly average three or four times as many viewers. " In the column Kaplan remarked that "the running joke in TV news is Fox and CNN are news channels with websites, but MSNBC is a website with a cable channel". A website (alternatively web site or Web site, a back-construction from the Proper noun World Wide Web) is a collection of Web pages [41]

New leadership

On June 7, 2006, Rick Kaplan resigned as president of MSNBC, after holding the post for two years. [42] Following the announcement, it was announced on June 12, 2006, that Dan Abrams, a nine-year veteran of MSNBC and NBC News, had been named General Manager of the NBC News 24-hour cable news channel, effective immediately. Dan Abrams (born May 20 1966 is the Chief Legal Correspondent for NBC News, an anchor and legal analyst for MSNBC, and a substitute anchor on NBC NBC News Senior Vice President Phil Griffin would oversee MSNBC.

Rita Cosby Live and Direct was a News / talk program which aired nightly on MSNBC. Cosby was instead given the role of primary anchor for MSNBC Investigates at 10 and 11 p. m. ET, a new program that took over Cosby and Carlson's timeslots. According to the press release, MSNBC Investigates promised to ". . . complement MSNBC's existing programming by building on [the network's] library of award winning documentaries. " [43]. The move to taped programming during 10 and 11 p. m. was likely a result of the success that the network saw with their Friday "experiment" of replacing all primetime programming with taped specials.

On October 22, 2007 MSNBC moved to its new headquarters in New York City at the newly renovated 3rd and 4th floors of 30 Rock. The GE Building is an Art Deco Skyscraper that forms the centerpiece of the Rockefeller Center in Midtown Manhattan. [44] Studio 3A debuted that morning when MSNBC's Morning Joe opened its broadcast from the studio at 6 a. m. ET. MSNBC continued to broadcast from Studio 3A throughout the day, including Live with Dan Abrams in primetime.

In a November New York Times article, Phil Griffin stated in response to MSNBC's alleged liberal bias that "it happened naturally" and that for the MSNBC staff "there is a Go for it" mentality. [52]

Media Matters for America, a self-described progressive media watchdog group, has written that the network "routinely traffics in conservative misinformation and effusively praises John McCain.

In 2004, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting wrote that the network´s then-current "prime-time line-up [was] more right-wing than Fox News Channel. Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting ( FAIR) is a progressive Media criticism organization based in New York City, founded in 1986 In Politics, right-wing, the political right, and the Right are positions that uphold traditional values and/or authorities " FAIR´s Peter Hart stated that "The pattern in cable news is to imitate Fox.
