No one is confusing the two.
OK then had no idea the Versant name
prior to the Comcast Spinoff was a utility company. But then again the rest of the nation only heard of this as the one getting CNBC and MSNow. Yes this also includes Comcast protecting Peacock app as part of the reason why Versant was formed.

Woah I thought that already took place as soon as MS Now moved to their current offices. Had no idea that is happening months after the spinoff. We mentioned here about Versant moving their offices to Times Square when the spinoff was finalized. But NBC News using the old MSNow and CNBC offices at 30 Rock was expected.
Start date announced for previously announced host changes:

It seems to be less news reporting and more host-based opinion shows.
MS NOW Announces Start Date for New Programming with Ali Velshi, Stephanie Ruhle, Alicia Menendez
The network previously featured the likes of Ana Cabrera and Chris Jansing between 10 AM-2 PM ET.

It seems to be less news reporting and more host-based opinion shows.
Getting onto a streaming platform other than expensive cable-replacements like YouTube TV seems like it might be more important to improving audience numbers than just shuffling hosts around.
FBI Director Kash Patel's girlfriend has filed a lawsuit against MS-Now and two of it's reporters. She said their reporting was false and defamatory:
