MSNBC is an American cable news television channel owned by NBCUniversal. Founded in 1996, it originally focused on a mix of news, talk, and sports programming, but has since evolved into a predominantly liberal-leaning news and opinion platform. The channel features a lineup of commentators, journalists, and hosts who primarily discuss current events, politics, and social issues from a progressive perspective. MSNBC is a major player in the 24-hour news cycle and competes with other cable news networks like CNN and Fox News.
