What the hell happened to MSNBC?

July 17th, 2008 | Category: TV News, News and Gossip

Um….OK, so I just turned on MSNBC to get the latest news and I get a notice on the screen that says that.

NOT AUTHORIZED
To order MSNBC service on channel 114, shout 1-800….

What the hell? So I go to channel 114 and it has the same letter. At first I thought it was one of those temporary glitches that sometimes happen to cable systems (in that case, Comcast), but soon after I read this by at TV Newser. Seems that Comcast is starting to drop MSNBC from its basic

package in many areas and putting it in the digital package. They’re doing it in Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Connecticut, and now it looks like it is affecting Massachusetts, too. Anyone else out there not have MSNBC?

I think we pay approximately $4000 a month for cable and we have a digital package, so I would hope MSNBC would be covered (especially since CNN and FOX News are there). I’m going to get my paperwork and find out why that move isn’t included in it. that isn’t even remotely Comcastic.
