  1. It kinda looks like Jake’s sitting in front of a flash cam, they’ve got The Lead background behind him on a screen and the lighting is just way easier to control in a smaller space. I could be wrong since I haven’t seen any other clips of the actual studio being shown. CNN’s flash cams always seem to have great lighting.
  2. Well I stand corrected. The other site has confirmed it’s Telemundo 47’s new studio after all, which I have to say looks great for a Telemundo set, and in my opinion it looks better than WNBC’s. Good for them, too bad it isn’t a set for NBC News/MSNBC, it’d work great for either.
  3. I guess it could be, but this studio looks to have a higher quality of finishes and more tech than WNBC’s, if you look at pictures of 3B this one seems to be bigger too. I guess we’ll have to wait and see who’s it is!
  4. Great catch @Jman7885! I went and checked the tv news archive from archive.org and sure enough it looks like a new studio. It’s not WNBC’s studio 3B, and MSNBC used 3A, 3C & 4E today alone, I’m wondering if this is the new Studio 3K, which I’m assuming is for NBC Nightly News and NBC News Now. MSNBC daytime and primetime is temporarily not using 3A as they prepare the studio for primary/caucus coverage so that’s why we aren’t seeing that in full use currently. Let’s be honest, studio 1A is not a great flagship, NBC needs a versatile studio for anything from special reports to space launches and elections. Nightly News deserves a real home and News Now might need more space as they expand programing. MSNBC and WNBC/Telemundo have all the space they could ever need. Here’s some screen grabs I took from the archive, the star desk is the one MSNBC has had for years, the new studio is already set up for the primaries/caucuses/election branding. Very NBC, very Clickspring (I’m assuming). Alex seems to use LA a lot more than anyone else at NBC, she said she’ll back in NYC next weekend for the new line up launch, must be in LA to see family regularly enough they let her use the facilities there.
  5. A better look at the updated logo/typeface. MSNBC seems to be using the opportunity to do very small graphics updates, they have a new breaking news stinger that is similar to the old one but again just slightly different. They also updated all the virtual elements used in studios. Worth noting that “Reports” is now in the NBC font, maybe a sign of things to come.
  6. MSNBC has officially switched its logo over to the new NBC typeface, which kind of looks like the old one, and of course certain feathers of the peacock disappear depending on the background color. I hate to post a picture taken from a tv but that’s a good as it’s gonna get for now.
  7. Another weekend shake up, literally too much to list, so find it all here: https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/msnbc-makes-significant-changes-to-weekend-lineup-launches-ensemble-show/542518/ Im still not sure why they can’t begin live programing before 8AM? Would’ve been easy to make the new morning show start at 7. We’re also losing an hour of programming as Ayman will end at 9PM now. Good to see Alex getting 3 hours again, but sad to see Yasmin leaving weekends. The “best of” seems like a cheap filler until they find something permanent for the 4PM hour.
  8. Some awkward days lie ahead for MSNBC, Senator Bob Menendez has been indicted by the U.S Department of Justice on serious charges, the senators daughter is MSNBC Host Alicia Menendez, her show, American Vocies airs weekends at 6PM ET. The big question is how will MSNBC handle this story while employing his daughter, will she comment on it or not, we all remember the Cuomo nightmare at CNN less than 2 years ago. The following article makes a few good points regarding the media landscape and how these types of things have been handled in the past; https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/how-will-msnbc-handle-its-menendez-family-conflict-of-interest/amp/ IMO, Alicia should be off this weekend, I would not allow her to host her show, either someone can fill in or it can be a special edition of MSNBC Reports. The network has not done a good job of disclosing the conflict they find themselves in, every single anchor/host should be saying something along the lines of; “in the interest of transparency we need to tell you that Senator Menendez is the father of our colleague, MSNBC host Alicia Menendez.” MSNBC & NBCU talk a big game about being better than orgs like CNN & FOX, so they should prove it and take this seriously. It doesn’t matter that she’s (as far as we know) innocent and un-indicted, she needs to be put on a short leash or they will have the Cuomo situation on their hands. also if you want an insight into the work politics at MSNBC just look at the different statements from the hosts/anchors, some ranging from demanding the senators resignation and others supporting him, always fun to see it in the open.
  9. My exact thought was “oh sh*t they actually wanna do News?” If he can lead CNN in the direction of the BBC in terms of straight forward, hard hitting reporting, no opinion, unmatched global resources and stories viewers won’t find elsewhere, CNN will survive and thrive. I hope it ends up being the best decision they’ve ever made.
  10. I’m wondering the same thing following this article, he’s still listed as a NBC News Corespondent, so I’m assuming he’s moving to a new role, hopefully something on streaming or news on MSNBC. https://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/zinhle-essamuah-joins-kate-snow-as-co-anchor-of-nbc-news-nows-afternoon-block/534464/
  11. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. But the more intresting part of that article is: “One possible deal recently floated in media circles involves a merger between NBCUniversal parent Comcast and Paramount. The two companies reportedly had been in talks in 2021. If that merger happens sooner or later, (the newly acquired company under the ownership of) Comcast would likely be forced to get rid of the CBS network due to antitrust violations. Warner Bros Discovery, in turn, might then swoop in and combine CNN with CBS News, seeking to reap efficiencies between the two networks under its umbrella, some insiders have speculated.” That would honestly make a lot of sense and be a huge benefit for CBS which just can’t seems to stand up straight and address the problems at CNN.
  12. I’m assuming Nightly News will move into a renovated studio 3K sometime next year (well before the election) since WNBC is moving to studio 3B. NBC could get a flagship studio for elections and specialty coverage out of the deal and Nightly News will finally have a real home. Studio 3C stays with MSNBC & NBC News Now and studio 1A can get a full, and needed, renovation.
  13. That would actually make sense, it wouldn’t do any worse in the ratings and it would bring a certain level of comfort to the executives, knowing she and her team are more than capable and they wouldn’t have to worry about any unfavorable press with them. Im also wondering if MSNBC is smart enough to take advantage of CNN’s down position and make any changes to primetime or weekends ahead of the election year, seems like a great time for MSNBC to tidy up the network while CNN is a mess.
  14. Long overdue but hopefully this will be a good change. I would’ve preferred someone who is actually independent and a true moderator, since Chuck has blurred that line, but those days seem to be long gone. It will be interesting to see who they chose to replace Kristen on Saturday Today.
