A change in national leadership also meant a change in MSNBC dynamics. Ahead of President Donald Trump’s inauguration early this year, it was announced that MSNBC president Rashida Jones would step down, and that MSNBC will be absorbed into a new NBCUniversal company called “SpinCo.” Not much else is clear about the future of MSNBC under SpinCo., aside from the fact that it remains generally staunch in its criticism of the current administration, especially with anchor Rachel Maddow returning to helm the nightly news.
As it stands, the only way to get MSNBC content without subsidizing Fox News is Peacock. Every other cord-cutting service that carries MSNBC live, also has Fox News.
If on-demand access to MSNBC shows is enough, then the cheapest way is Peacock for $7.99. Otherwise, if you want the linear live stream, the cheapest service is DIRECTV Stream's "MyEntertainment" genre pack for $34.99, and then is Sling TV for $45.99.
