2. It will be after the break

[chillfactor]

3. I am watching MSNBC....

and it IS Live!

[Eugene]

8. I'm watching it too. TRMS is first-run, but it appears to be a prerecorded taking of stock.

9. No... MSNBC is not live right now.

MSNBC displays a "LIVE" sticker on it's logo on the bottom of it's screen whenever it's live... The third hour of Morning Joe is not live, for example, and the lower third does not display the "LIVE" emblem on the logo. That's how you can tell.

This is a long holiday weekend... However, there may be occasional live news updates during these repeats which will display the "LIVE" logo whenever they cut in.

10. IT IS NOT LIVE!!!!!

As explained above, MSNBC uses a "Live" bug above it's lower right corner logo when telecasting Live.
I repeat, IT IS NOT LIVE tonight!!

13. A "bug"? Is that what it's called?

I love learning the proper names for obscure things. For example, I learned years ago that the NBC chimes and "Intel Inside" sounds were called "stingers". Is that right?

[Ccarmona]

14. Yep, it's called a "Bug"

You're right about "stingers"

From Media Music Now-UK:
"A stinger or bumper is a short clip of music that can be used to introduce, end or link various sections of an audio or audiovisual production. Sometimes they are also called sounders and can often have voice-over and sound effects incorporated with them."
