Exactly. I only want msnbc . I don’t want the other 30 or 40 on Sling.
That’s something to talk to MSNBC about. For example, a few years ago, CNN started an individual streaming channel service. A month later, after getting a new CEO, they shut it down, because the new CEO didn’t think people wanted to subscribe to a bunch of individual streaming channels. (He thought people preferred packages/one-stop-shopping.)
Apparently, MSNBC is going by a similar theory, so if that’s wrong for you, then let them know.
I would expect the streaming world to be in flux for years to come. Apparently, the vast majority of streaming services are still losing money. It’s the old: “Give it away below cost to dominate the market, then hope you figure out how to make money later” business model.
NBC has both a free streaming news app (NBC News Now) and a cable news channel (MSNBC). And they seem content with that approach.
I've mentioned this earlier in the thread but I will say it again. You can listen to the MSNBC audio stream for free in the TuneIN app (or for $ in the SiriusXM app).
I have cable so I can authenticate the full MSNBC stream, but often I find the audio stream to be all that I need.
The only means involves a subscription to a provider, the cheapest of which is mini-Dish Sling for a lot of unwanted other channels and too much $ for the one channel desired!
