NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC, NBC affiliates and TODAY

Hi, Sorry if people have said this before but what is the difference between:

NBC, CNBC and MSNBC

Do they share programmes? Are they all for the same target audience?

Thanks in advance.

NBC is one of the “big three” American terrestrial networks (CBS, NBC, ABC). Programming is generally entertainment focused similar to ITV, but out of the three networks NBC is known to be slightly upmarket with regards to its traditional focus on innovative comedy and grittier dramas, though this is less distinct than it had been. CBS is more lowest-common-denominator and ABC is soapy/family/diversity oriented as of late. NBC News is known to have more of a political analysis / East Coast outlook compared to the other networks.

MSNBC is a rolling pay-tv news channel launched in 1996 alongside Microsoft, which is no longer involved. It has evolved into rolling news during the day and left-wing commentary in the evening, though it does a better job than Fox News in separating them out. NBC News is kept slightly at arms length from MSNBC, though there is shared talent.

CNBC is a pay-tv financial news channel, definitely Wall Street oriented and very technical so it is not very accessible to those not following the markets. Not many resources are shared with NBC News. At night they’ve recently been airing reality programming with a business bent, but they’ve introduced news programming with Shepard Smith that draws more from the NBC News talent pool, without MSNBC’s progressive advocacy.

Sorry, I'll have to disagree. Left-leaning media is just as bad as right-wing media. it's infotainment for those in their own bubble for which MSNBC is just as irresponsible as Fox News. They may not 'lie' as Fox does, but it's all about reaffirming the audience's own bias rather than informing. You're not going to get a left-leaning AOC type watching Fox News in the same way you're not going to get a mask denying Trump supporter watching MSNBC (or anything they consider MSM).

The only NBC produced news output that is anywhere considered impartial are the network bulletins and Shep's hour on CNBC.

The internal conflict extends to the highest levels of NBCUniversal, where MSNBC head Phil Griffin strongly disagreed with NBC News President Noah Oppenheim’s decision to unilaterally move forward with the town hall during that time slot, according to three high-ranking sources at the TV media giant.

Griffin and Oppenheim have been increasingly at loggerheads over the way the two networks present their news, with MSNBC moving more leftward in its commentary while NBC News tries to maintain a more traditional down-the-middle approach, the sources said.

“Each side thinks the other is ruining the other‘s brand, and this just ripped it open,” said one of the sources.

Well, that happened. Let me remind you that what you just saw was a production of NBC News. We are MSNBC. We did not produce that event. We simulcast it here with along with CNBC.

NBC are getting a bit of stick at the moment for scheduling Trump's 'town hall' at the same time as Biden's on ABC

POLITICO is saying that there is an internal feud between NBC News and MSNBC.

It's not been helped by the corporate decision, to link the NBC News brand with the MSNBC brand which if memory serves was back in 2014 or 2015.

I have updates on the space before it launches (which I assume to be two weeks from today). As reported, NBC has five floors is the building with a newsroom and small studio on the street level, both of which can easily be seen from the street.
The pictures attached (or below) show the view through the windows. I recognize they aren't all the high quality (except the one from NewscastStudio). To familiarize yourself with the space, it is on a street corner. When looking down the rows of chairs/desks with the tvs at the end, the studio will be behind you.
In the studio, you'll see the US Capital, but that is a video wall. However, the window I took that photo through, has an actual view of the Capital building.
There's also two shots of an adjacent conference room.

I think it must be said....and I hate to say it.....this has to be the biggest set disasters in recent years I've ever seen from NBC. They are usually near flawless when it comes to set design, but also graphics and lighting. Ive never seen them do anything close to this bad. Its a defo a head scratcher. They usually leave the cheesy crap to ABC or CBS. This seems strangely out of character for NBC News creatives.

For goodness sake... you haven't seen it yet, let alone on-air!

Also, does it look like a Tesco Extra?
