There may be another name change but not back to NBC. "MS NOW" was spun off from NBC so can't really use the name any more. The "meaning" behind MSNOW is nonsense; the reality is it's 5 characters like MSNBC and sounds similar enough while being easier to say. They shouldn't have tried to make it a dumb acronym and make it seem like there was more thought in the name than there really was; thats whats driven lots of ridicule.
