what's microsoft now?
It's the new branding for MSNBC
oh. people should deadname corporations tho
Ideally both deadnamed and their actual current corporate ownership should be identified.
Versant Media Group in this case, which is a media holding group spun off from Comcast a few months ago as a vehicle to dump their cable channels (if I had to guess its probably a move to reduce scrutiny and give the appearance of voluntary action regarding antitrust practices. but it might just be a way for comcast to sell all the cable channels in an easy package to sell to corporate raiders who can strip the wire out of the walls.)
Edit: Conveniently the deal to spin off the former Comcast properties into Versant allowed Comcast to offload those things into a new listed company and Comcast shareholders avoided paying any tax on the deal by being compensated in shares of Versant, if I'm reading correctly. This was Comcast's publically stated intent with how they set up the whole thing.
