What Is The Purpose?

The MSNBCLive event was created as a way to connect to the network’s audience and build potential new revenue streams. The event is of particular importance this year as it follows significant changes at NBCUniversal, which will be folded into the new, publicly traded company Versant (formerly SpinCo).

The media conglomerate is dividing its broadcasting offerings, with NBC, Peacock, and Bravo remaining part of the original brand. Meanwhile, its cable networks, including E!, USA Network, Syfy, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen, and Golf Channel, will move to Versant.
