@c-span.bsky.social named its mobile app “C-SPAN NOW” a couple years ago, beating @msnowreports.bsky.social by ages.

Because who doesn’t want their C-SPAN *right NOW*?

I know I do.

Don’t call it MSNBC. MS NOW takes on Trump’s Washington.
Going it alone without NBC’s name or deep bench of reporters, the rebranded cable news network MS Now wants you to know nothing has changed — except for a few things.
