That is what CNBC already stands for, all it's happening is the Peacock icon is being dropped because it's one of the channels spun off into new company Versant, no longer part of NBC Universal

Some years ago a spokesman from NBC (I think it was on the Satellite Surgery with Eric Wiltshire) said that they received lots of complaints about the NBC logo having a bit missing. He then bemusably said that it has to be explained that this is a beak!

At least this issue will now be resolved

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
The NBC logo with the beak looking to our right (giving the impression of a missing bit) was introduced in 1986 and is not changing in that respect.

Previously the peacock was looking the other way.

Re: Virgin TV (2025)
Has anyone managed to get premier sports in their package when renewing or is there no wiggle room there? Just intrigued before I begin the inevitable back and forth

VM aren't in a rush per this comment regardless of the rumours (which aren't really there)
I read that comment as being specifically regarding the legacy-TiVo, given that the staffer also mentions changing to the V6 as an alternative.

The TiVo was never great at apps even in its prime, the V6 is more than capable with the mainstream ones. If you want access to every streaming app under-the-sun, then TV360 or Stream is an excellent choice.

Don't know, but the obligation on Comcast to fund the loss making Sky News ends soon (2026?) so it may happen then.

Think the gurantee is until 2028?

i wonder if they'd go with another attempt at NBC Sky World News which was cancelled back in 2020.

I see its now branded as MS Now too but under a different company than comcast (or soon to be separated) so it may be a bit messy.

Sky news has to change due to loss making i just dont know how it'll fit being separate from MS Now (formely MSNBC) unless they make it sky news world and use NBC News journalists (who are now apparently separate from MS Now)
