NBC News

MSNBC and NBC News Now has switched to the new Peacock and typeface in their news open and DOG a few days ago, but their headline supers haven’t:

Still don’t understand why they dropped the white outline.

Yuck.

After MSNBC, CNBC is next in line to switch to NBC Tinker and the updated Sibling Rivalry peacock, as it unveils its biggest rebrand since 2014. The biggest change is the ticker: from Monday, instead of two scrolling lines, it will be one scrolling line and another featuring the “bottom line” of three top indices featured in all graphical iterations since 2005 (previously located along the clock bug since 2014). Expect to see the changes on CNBC Europe and Asia too.

Thanks for showing the full look of CNBC as seen in the US - certainly quite different to their previous iterations but looks cohesive enough. Notably, if that’s what ended up on air today, it’ll be the first time the US stock ticker (as seen there) has had the names of stocks on them rather than just the ticker codes. Whereas in Asia it’s either generally been just the company name (as it is now) or at times it has been the name with the ticker code in superscript before it or the like.

Doesn’t look so great through our local eyes when it’ll take some time for CNBC Asia [and Europe] to catch up (and thus we are currently seeing a mix of new US top strap plus local two-line ticker on American content, as is normal).

They’ll have to work out how to reconcile the localised tickers (eg. we get Australian and NZ stocks on the top line rather than the base feed of probably Singapore, HK and the like) with the current bottom line of pan-continental indices and commodities - they sort of already do the latter with the clock bug but the choices feel very random.

Nicolle Wallace returns from maternity leave to Deadline White House on Monday on MSNBC. Good for day side programming as she is much better than the likes of Andrea Mitchell and Katy Tur.

CNBC-e in Turkey/Türkiye is reportedly to be relaunched in March. It’s a collaboration between CNBC and local conglomerate İlbak Holdings, and was delayed from the promised October 2023 launch.

It was previously broadcast since 2000, and became TLC after Discovery acquired it in 2015:

Hallie Jackson is to be the Nightly News Sunday anchor from April, while continuing her namesake programme on NBC News Now.


NBC News is in some hot waters lately, as former RNC chair Ronna McDaniel was hired as a political analyst before leaving days later, after MSNBC personalities objected the appointment on screen. This article from NPR is an interesting look at the wider problem of getting ex-politicians as TV news pundits (cough GB News cough):


According to a column on Turkish media site Medya Radar, CNBC-e returns in June. Names were also mentioned in the article, in particular Servet Yıldırım as the channel’s editor-in-chief, which is in line with his current Twitter profile. Another one is current CNN Turk anchor Didem Tümer, but this hasn’t been confirmed.

They’re, apparently, now hiring videographer and motion graphics designer, and tapping into the audio side with CNBC-e Radyo.

Does not surprise me at all. Feels like they are lining up her, Tom Llamas, and Kristen Welker as the next generation of lead NBC News presenters.

Don’t me wrong. But NBC Early Today might be the best graphics in News Broadcasting. That’s how you bring modern graphics to life

That looks amazing🫢
Simple yet effective, modern and clean. It’s so classy.

i’m surprised they rolled out the new graphics for early news but the other shows under the today brand haven’t gotten the new update
