Yes, you can. See: http://blog.sling.com/announcements/nbc-networks-now-available-on-new-multi-stream-service-sling-blue/ Reply
Roku has an NBC News channel where clips are available. There is also a 30-minute delayed broadcast in the news lineup at XTV, another Roku channel. Reply
Those of you with Roku should add channel PEAR as a “private channel”, using the code: channel pear. You are then entitled to load up to 5 sources for free (and many more for a very low price, which lessens as you subscribe monthly, by 6 months, or annually). I loaded MSNBC, and apart from image/voice sync issues, am very happy with it. The clips stop momentarily while the stream is being refreshed, but the music during the pauses is a lot less annoying than any commercials would be. Plus, I loaded Cinemax! Another source of free MSNBC is to be found on Hulu Plus, this in the form of yesterday’s or weekly clips. I select clips from Morning Joe, but if you want to stay with Joe, you have to keep selecting clips, otherwise it defaults to Rachel Maddow. Happy cable cutting! Paper Tiger Reply
Came back saying it’s been taken down due to copyright issues, etc. Don’t bother with channel PEAR since it doesn’t exist anymore. I added it and then had to removed it shortly afterward. Reply
This article is a few months old, but, for those that have stumbled upon it, you should know that you can also get MSNBC on YouTubeTV – https://tv.youtube.com. While I’m a bit disappointed that they didn’t use the “10 Foot Interface” like they did on https://www.youtube.com/tv, based on what I’ve tested, thus far, it’s far more functional if using on an HTPC with Chrome, than Sling TV is.

Who do you contact at MSNBC/name, dept, etc. to let them know you are unhappy about something? I do not like the way they have eliminated shows like Lawrence O’Donnell and Chris Hayes and update the rows of takeouts for the various evening news shows from 7 pm to 11 pm. Also would like to see a row on The Beat with Ari Melber. I know they have put one or two clips from some of these evening shows all into one row but I prefer the previous way they did it. This just changed recently. Reply
Apple TV only has MSNBC clips, delayed by 2 hours or so. Pluto TV appears to be a delayed feed by a day or more. Reply
I have been watching MSNBC on my phone (Wi-Fi). I signed up for their newscast, which comes as email. I actually signed up for Rachel Maddow, but after a while it goes on to other shows. Very few of Rachel’s are getting on it these days, maybe 1 in 10. Still, you can keep going forever if you have that kind of time and each show has slightly different take and different interviewees. An ad precedes each clip, but the ads are short. This is costing a little less I think than any of the devices listed. But I don’t want to pay $40 a month and up just to watch MSNBC! Of course it doesn’t make for hearing other points of view… Reply
The whole point of “Cutting the Cable” is to avoid paying the ridiculous amounts of money cable charges. Every example you’ve giving is not a cost savings. $40+/month dollars plus internet $30-$70/mo. you might as well keep cable. Your article is utterly useless. Reply
I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge, but can you please explain which (if any) of the above options can be viewed on an actual TV, as opposed to just watching on a computer? Just FYI, I do own one newer LG 4K Smart TV that has Amazon & Netflix, etc. on them (& I have logins for both), and a couple of other regular flat screens. I am currently a DirecTV customer & evaluating possible cord-cutting options. Thank you. Reply
No need to apologize! The services listed in the article can all be viewed on a TV screen. To get them up there, you’ll either need A) a smart TV or B) an external streaming device that you can plug into your TV. Either way, you’ll just have to make sure that the service you choose is compatible with the streaming “platform” that your streaming device or smart TV runs. For instance, Roku boxes and Roku smart TVs use the Roku platform, which has apps for all of the services we listed above. LG has a platform of its own called LG WebOS, so that’s almost certainly what your TV is running. I would check out the app store on your TV (here’s how: https://www.lg.com/uk/support/guides/tv/smart-tv/apps ) to see what’s available. From what I see online, you should have access to at least Sling TV, and probably a few more live TV options. Hope that helps! Reply
Yeah I get the free clips on an msnbc app with my firestick but it is limited and they have everybody on but The Last Word, which is weird he is their best host! Reply
I do not want a bundle selection or whatever just MSNBC I would pay $10 a month for just that but no more. Reply
I’m the same as MT! No clips just live MSNBC! Enough with the promoting of those 2 services I hear over and over. I want to know which streaming service has live MSNBC. I wouldn’t have a problem with paying $10 either for some live MSNBC. When I come home and turn on the Shield I want to see live streaming MSNBC 🙂 Reply
Every Single “ad” states “Watch MSNBC FREE with xxxxx TV service” click here for free trial … is a total LIE. Sure, watch for 7 days free – THEN you must PAY to watch MSNBC (albeit with the channels offered) … Seriously, this is worse than loss leader advertising. LIES are not loss leaders. They are LIES. Reply
I agree with several of the other posts in this thread. JUST WANT MSNBC as a stand alone, stable, reliable, sync’d, streaming feed. @ a $5 – $10/ month subscription rate; like PBS. Don’t want to have to pay $60/mo for Hulu, or other, “bundle” of stuff I never watch. With $60 Hulu and $70 Internet, I’m nearly back up to my CATV “bundled” package. Reply
I just received notice that my provider’s app is going up to $49.95 per month so count me in with those who only want to pay for MSNBC. It is basically the only feed I use. I have an antenna for local channels and Roku offers a variety of options should I want to watch something else. Wonder why MSNBC doesn’t consider that? Reply
The least expensive way I have found so far for both MSNBC live and CNN is Sling TV. You will need the Sling TV Blue package plus the News Extra Add On. This will give you a bunch of channels plus MSNBC and CNN live for $30.00 per month, should you want to record then add another $5.00 for their cloud DVR. I have looked at every other way to do this and this is the only viable alternative that comes close to having cable or satellite. Reply
