Variety reports:

Most TV viewers know MS NOW as a cable network. What if it were a social one, too?
When the Versant Media-backed outlet launches a new subscription-based app this week, it does so with the vow to help new members communicate not only with MS NOW anchors and correspondents, but with each other. The MS NOW “Membership” comes with two different opportunities each day for subscribers to speak directly with top personalities during live Q& A sessions; a regular suite of new content aimed at wellness; and the opportunity not just to watch MS NOW programming, but to be part of a community of like-minded people.

If you want to be part of a community of like-minded people, you can sign up for Bluesky for free. An MS NOW membership will run $7.99 per month or $79.99 annually.

"A regular suite of new content aimed at wellness"? If you subscribe to MS NOW, you're not well — you have TDS.

"MS NOW found over the course of a year of research that viewers craved places where they might engage with like-minded news consumers." Asylums? "Each Monday at noon, for example, subscribers can ask Rachel Maddow questions ahead of her weekly Monday-evening program." This would be a fantastic opportunity to troll MS NOW if we didn't have to pay for it.
