As we are moving into October, it means that the cable news channel MSNBC is set to go through monumental changes. The first sign of trouble is that we see a cable entity (Comcast) divesting from its cable base. AdvertisementAs a result, MSNBC is in the process of more than a rebranding; the network is undergoing a fundamental makeover. By October 20, MSNBC will need to have an infrastructure in place and operating with its own Washington bureau. The final move towards complete independence from NBC has yet to be determined, but should take place sometime by the new year.
