MSNBC to lose NBC News resources, reporters in October

Wednesday, September 17, 2025

Comcast is starting to move forward with the separation of its cable news outlet MSNBC from its broader NBC News division, according to information provided to workers this week. On Wednesday, employees at MSNBC were told the cable outlet will no longer offer reports from domestic or international NBC News journalists after October 6, the first significant step toward MSNBC's independence from NBC and Comcast. Journalists based at NBC News' bureau in Washington, D.C. will continue to make appearances on the channel through October 20, at which point MSNBC will be reliant upon its own news team and political analysts.

The move is part of a broader separation of Comcast's cable networks, which are being spun out into a standalone business called Versant. Comcast and Versant will continue to have a business relationship " NBC Universal is selling advertising opportunities for Versant, and is helping the cable business fill job openings through its NBC Universal Careers platform " but that relationship won't include editorial operations.
