Alex Samuels at Daily Kos:
According to a report from Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter (note that it’s behind a paywall), the left-of-center MSNBC news network is apparently toying with shaking up its business model so it can be on “better terms” with Republicans. Darcy reported that Mark Lazarus, the newly installed leader of SpinCo, a new company comprising networks like CNBC, MSNBC, and E!, indicated that he would like the outlet to incorporate “more GOP voices on its air.” Darcy cited people familiar with Lazarus’ thinking but said that no formal directive or editorial guidance has been given to MSNBC anchors or producers.
“To be clear, Lazarus has signaled that he wants the channel to retain its core progressive identity," Darcy reported. Lazarus has also stated he intends to keep top talent, including Rachel Maddow. But there’s evidence that some of the network’s other well-known anchors want a better working relationship with Trump. In mid-November, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, cohosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” were widely criticized after they visited Mar-a-Lago to visit the president-elect. Perhaps Lazarus’ thinking is merely business-driven. After all, according to data from Nielsen, which was cited in reporting by the Wall Street Journal, MSNBC averaged 603,000 prime-time viewers from Nov. 6 to Dec. 8—down by more than half from the network’s year-to-date average. CNN’s ratings tumbled after Election Day, too, while Fox News was up by 12%. There’s also the looming threat of mega-billionaire Elon Musk. In November, the Tesla CEO teased that he could buy MSNBC. “How much does it cost?” he asked in a post to his social media network X.
His question was in response to a re-post by Donald Trump Jr. that falsely stated Comcast is putting MSNBC up for sale. (Comcast instead plans to spin off NBCUniversal’s cable networks into a separate company, but this change is not expected to affect individual channels or assets.)
Mark Lazarus, the new overseer of SpinCo networks including MSNBC, would love to make room for more GOP-leaning voices on the network.

Blackhawks mutuals: I’m sorry for whoever I tried to stick up for Mark Lazarus with. I get it now, I do. I unfollowed him on Christmas because of him immediately posting a gloom-and-doom tweet and I was just done.
Mark Lazarus has amassed a net worth of around $5 million as of 2020. He makes his worth as the new NBC Universal Television

NBC renews deal with English Premier League for 6 years
NEW YORK (AP) — Traditionally a three-year deal, the English Premier League's extension with NBC is for double that. http://dlvr.it/BpSgkk
Traditionally a three-year deal, the English Premier League's extension with NBC is for double that. NBC had initially won the rights in 2012 from Fox and ESPN with a three-year contract. The company submitted both three- and six-year bids, NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus said on a conference call. Source: The Associated Press
