All
news channel and companion
website. A joint venture between
NBC News and
The Microsoft Network (and apparently
Newsweek). MSNBC offers more indepth coverage of stories than most other networks. In addition to
live newscasts they also broadcast some
business news from sister network
CNBC, a
simulcast of
Don Imus's
radio show, and a
magazine show called
MSNBC Investigates which includes segments from NBC's
Dateline.
Overall the
journalism seems to be less
yellow than
CNN but more so than
CBS (that is, as long as the story is not about
Microsoft).
There is also a
Canadian version called
MSNBC Canada which is mostly a simulcast of the
American signal with Canadian advertising and a smattering of Canadaian
programming, mostly from the
CBC.
