MSNBC
Launched on July 15, 1996, MSNBC is a 24-hour cable news channel that caters to viewers all over the United States and Canada. The letters MSNBC is a combination of Microsoft and NBC.
In keeping up with its aim of delivering substantial information to the people, MSNBC, together with NBC, announced that it will be covering the Democratic National Convention which ran from August 25 to 28, 2008 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. Unlike other networks and television news organizations that broadcasted from rented indoor venues, MSNBC opened its broadcast to the public. This will ensure public participation throughout the 3-day affair.
Using outdoor sets propped up behind Denver’s Union Station and St. Paul’s Rice Park, MSNBC’s team of veteran broadcast journalists — Joe Scarborough, Andrea Mitchell, David Gregory and Norah O’Donnell — provided significant information, analysis, and celebrity/political interviews beginning 4 a.m. The primetime broadcasts, which lasted until midnight, were handled by Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews of Hardball with Chris Matthews.
Live reports from the convention floors were provided by David Gregory.
