History [edit]

"MSNBC Live" was the name of several hours of straight news programming on the network (both weekdays and weekends), similar to dayside programming on other cable news channels. Beginning in 2009, MSNBC began to fill in these hours with branded programming during dayside hours. The 11 a.m. program is currently the only hour on the network that still carries the "Live" branding, except on holidays when the name is used once again for generic news coverage.
