From Drudge Report --
The all-news cable network, which was founded as a joint effort between Microsoft and NBC, will simply become "The NBC News Channel".. Top source explains 'The new name is cleaner, less confusing...represents promgramming'.. |

Sorry to let the fact get in the way of the truth but Gate said this yesterday:
On reports that Microsoft is in talks to sell its stake in the MSNBC cable joint venture: "We certainly are very committed to what we're doing with MSNBC. It's a very big thing for us. We are sort of more passive when it comes to the video side. We're always looking at our businesses, but that's been one that's been great for us and worked out very well."
