The site, in 1996
The site of an American cable news channel, called MSNBC until it became MS NOW in November 2025.
The name was MSN plus NBC. In 2012 the original news site became NBCNews.com, and the MSNBC.com address was relaunched as the channel's own site. The rebrand to MS NOW took effect on 15 November 2025.
In 1996: On 15 July the channel and website opened together, a joint venture with Microsoft, which put $221 million into its half. The site was largely swamped on day one.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
