Like….Microsoft hasn’t been involved in this for years. You could have just dropped that part! Do a new name! NBC max? Hmmm no ok News max? Oh oof ok no A portmanteau of “news” and “now”? “Nows?” Ok actually I’m out of ideas.

Drop the “source” - which makes it convoluted and only fits to make a now-meaningless “MS” - and call it MyNOW. Is it good? Not really? Is it better? Yes, incrementally.

Is it relapsing-remitting MS? Shades of NBC's own "The West Wing."

How many people ever remember that the MS initially stood for Microsoft 😉

M Snow seems like a bad name. Unless you are weather forecaster, then it would be awesome.

They can do something boring like just keeping “NBC”, but letting the N stand for ‘News’. Or calling it “NBC News Network”—3N for short, but I think this is easy to mock

Or a crazy thought... maybe they could concentrate on solid journalism, platforming excellent journalists, and not whitewashing their lineup, and let their quality drive views & ratings. Yeah, what am I thinking...

It screams feminist to me. Not sure they wanted that. But the Ms.” obviously, and the equal sign?
