10. They can't get up there and call it "NBC News"

like they are calling their website because people will confuse it with their OTA network.... And as it is, their cable channel isn't part of the lineup by many providers. It's bad enough that many confuse Faux Snooze with the local Fox affiliates.

But if they have to (in order to remove the "MS&quot , then maybe "NBC Cable News" in order to clearly distinguish because I doubt they would toss their network news broadcast on non-pay TV.

11. If they seriously are going to rebrand it, NCN = National Cable News

NBC = National Broadcast Company.

NCN = National Cable News would fit that brand but keep it distinct from the traditional NBC brand.
