| Strictly speaking, I don't think MSNBC officially stands for anything. Yes, the name comes from Microsoft and NBC, but the name of the channel is MSNBC, not "Microsoft National Broadcasting Company". NBC also owns CNBC, which stands for "Consumer News and Business Channel", so just because the National Broadcasting Company is (part) owner of a channel with the letters N, B, and C in its name doesn't automatically mean "National Broadcasting Company" is part of that channel's name. |
