MS NOW Launches Membership Plan and Dedicated Streaming Service
MS NOW is starting a new way for people to watch its news without a traditional cable package.
The service will include news videos available all day and night.
It will cost $7.99 each month or $79.99 for a year.
For a limited time, a year will cost $39.99.
Members can also ask questions and interact with the network’s talent.
MS NOW says many of its television viewers are different from its digital viewers.
The network hopes the service will build a stronger relationship with its audience.
It is making this change as more people stop paying for cable television.
MS NOW is launching a direct-to-consumer membership plan and streaming service on Wednesday.
Membership costs $7.99 monthly or $79.99 annually before taxes and fees.
An introductory annual subscription price of $39.99 is available through September 30.
Subscribers receive 24/7 video programming and opportunities to interact with on-air talent.
The former MSNBC says it has generated 3.2 billion YouTube and TikTok views this year.
