Comcast announced it would spin off MSNBC and some of its other cable channels into a separate company.

The fear inside the building is about whether the move could portend a less ambitious future for MSNBC .

One risk ahead is the loss of brand identity and recognition, a network insider said.

The drop in viewers that began the week after the election has flattened out, though it still represents a significant decline in audience.

The numbers were stark for “Morning Joe” Compared with an average of 1.09 million total viewers per episode this year , the show attracted audiences of 680,000 and 647,000 viewers the two days after the hosts revealed their Trump meeting.
