Watch the MS NOW live stream right here on BusinessTech.News — the rebranded home of what viewers have known for decades as MSNBC. Same progressive politics, same big-name hosts, new name and look.
MS NOW sits at the intersection of politics, business, and technology, which makes it a natural fit for BusinessTech.News readers. When Congress is grilling tech CEOs, when regulation hits Wall Street, or when elections shake the markets, MS NOW is usually the first cable network to go wall-to-wall.
What Is MS NOW? A Short History of MSNBC’s New Name
MS NOW is the updated brand for the cable channel long known as MSNBC.
The network launched in 1996 as a joint venture between Microsoft and NBC, pairing early online news with a cable channel.
Over time, it evolved into a progressive, politics-forward network, defined by personalities like Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, and Lawrence O’Donnell.
In the mid-2020s, as Comcast restructured its cable brands, MSNBC was spun into a new company and reintroduced as MS NOW — keeping the “MS” identity while dropping the NBC name and peacock.
The promise from executives and hosts has been simple: “Same mission, new name.”
The coverage, tone, and editorial stance are still recognizably MSNBC — just with MS NOW in the corner of the screen.

Why Watch MS NOW Here Instead of Other Live Stream Sites?
There are plenty of places trying to ride on MS NOW / MSNBC’s traffic — livenewsmag.com MSNBC live among them — but BusinessTech.News is built differently:
We focus on how MS NOW’s political coverage hits business, tech, markets, and regulation, not just the horse-race.
Our pages are tuned for fast, stable streaming, not pop-up chaos.
We surface related business & tech stories under the player so you can dig deeper while you watch.
If you’re choosing between a generic “MSNBC live” clone and a site that actually follows policy, platforms, AI, antitrust, and the economy, this is the better second screen.
Watching MS NOW from Canada, Europe, and Asia
MS NOW is a U.S. cable channel, but the politics it covers are global in impact — which is why this page is optimized for international viewers:
Watching MS NOW in Canada – Many Canadian viewers can’t access the linear cable feed, so an online MS NOW / MSNBC live stream is the easiest way to follow U.S. politics, elections, and Supreme Court decisions that ripple across the border.
Watching MS NOW in Europe – From Brussels to Berlin, U.S. policy on tech regulation, privacy, AI, and trade hits European companies directly. This live stream lets you track congressional hearings, antitrust cases, and White House announcements in real time.
Watching MS NOW in Asia – Markets in Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Mumbai often open while Washington is still digesting the previous day’s politics. MS NOW’s focus on democracy, foreign policy, and national security is essential viewing for anyone watching U.S.–Asia relations, sanctions, and supply chains.
