EnglishDoes MS NOW Offer Live Updates and Streaming?
Updated
Yes. MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) publishes a Live Updates feed on its homepage and promotes live audio and video, including scheduled live Q&A programming. The site's own description states it offers "daily updates from local reporters plus world news with live audio and video," and the homepage carries a dedicated live-updates section alongside a promoted live event.
What the live features actually look like
Live Updates feed
The homepage includes a "LIVE UPDATES" block with timestamped items, each showing a headline, a byline, and how long ago it was posted. Examples visible on the page:
| Item | Author | Timestamp shown |
|---|---|---|
| Susan Collins faces Troy Jackson in Maine Senate debate | — | 5 minutes ago |
| Diesel prices in Iowa near all-time record | Adam Hudacek | 6 minutes ago |
| 'He needs to hustle': Jackson voters want more in final midterm stretch | Will McDuffie & Ebony Davis | 11 minutes ago |
| Collins' last win hovers over 2026 race | Hunter Woodall | 11 minutes ago |
There is also a "See all updates" link, which suggests the feed is longer than the few items surfaced on the homepage. The topics in the feed are a mix of election coverage and cost-of-living stories — the same subjects that dominate the site's main headlines, such as gas prices and the midterms.
Live audio and video
The site description explicitly lists "live audio and video" as part of what MS NOW provides. The homepage also promotes an upcoming live Q&A:
- Velshi & Ruhle: Full Disclosure — described as a weekly Wednesday session where Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle answer questions about "money, power and politics." The listing shows a specific start time (12:00 PM EDT) and a "Tomorrow" label, indicating scheduled rather than on-demand programming.
How to use it
- Open ms.now and look for the LIVE UPDATES section on the homepage.
- Scan the timestamped entries — the "minutes ago" labels tell you how fresh each item is.
- Select See all updates to view the full feed rather than the homepage excerpt.
- For scheduled programming, check the promoted live event block (for example, the Velshi & Ruhle listing) for the day and time, then return at that time to watch or listen.
Expected result: you get rolling news updates without reloading a separate page, plus access to scheduled live audio/video when a program is airing.
Things to know before relying on it
- Live updates are text-first. The feed is a stream of short timestamped items, not a continuous video broadcast. If you want video, you need the separate live programming.
- Scheduled live shows are time-bound. The Velshi & Ruhle Q&A is listed for a specific slot (Wednesdays, 12:00 PM EDT in the example shown), so it is not available on demand at any hour based on the page evidence.
- Some content sits behind membership. The homepage includes a "Get full access to exclusive coverage and member-only content" prompt with "Become a Member" and "Join now" options. The page does not state which specific live features require membership, so treat the live-updates feed and the promoted live event as the clearly public elements, and expect that some coverage may require an account.
- Timestamps are relative. Entries read "5 minutes ago" or "11 minutes ago," so the exact posting time depends on when you load the page.
If your goal is simply to follow breaking news as it develops, the Live Updates feed is the fastest entry point. If your goal is to watch or listen to live programming, check the scheduled event block for the day and time first.
