MSNBC staffers ‘in a panic’ as NBC-parent Comcast plans to spin off channel — and possibly change its name

Panic engulfed MSNBC headquarters on Wednesday after parent company Comcast confirmed a massive spinoff of its cable properties — with a top executive even suggesting the left-leaning network may be forced to change its name.
MSNBC stars Rachel Maddow, Chris Jansing and Katy Tur joined a tense 10 a.m. meeting at 30 Rock in Midtown led by NBCUniversal chairman Mark Lazarus, who will lead the new company, sources told The Post.
Staffers fearing looming layoffs peppered him with questions about if the network will need to change its name, logos and headquarters after reports surfaced that the new entity could be cut off from the reporting muscle of NBC News, sources said.
Lazarus told MSNBC staffers that he wasn’t sure if the network would have to change its identity or its home, according to insiders.
“Everyone is in a panic because everything is up in the air,” one MSNBC source told The Post.
MSNBC's future is now up in the air.

From the linked NYP article:
Comcast announced Wednesday that MSNBC — home to anchors including Joy Reid and Lawrence O’Donnell — will join CNBC, Oxygen, E!, Syfy and the Golf Channel as part of a new company called SpinCo.
1. How appropriate, SpinCo. :rotf: :fuelfire:
2. Will SpinCo. be a separate division within Comcast or an independent, sink-or-swim, company? If the latter, maybe a year or two from now Musk or some new Prog-Bogey(wo)man could buy MesSNBC for $1. :rotf: :fuelfire:
