MSN cancels shows, gets practical news.com

The inevitable master of the New Media stumbles again, and decides to cut its losses. I guess that's the end of all hope for the Thomas Reardon Century channel (old joke for long term participants).

Microsoft executives have been reshaping their Web effort for several months now. When MSN on the Web launched in 1996, the service was much broader than it is today.

But MSN found that with the exception of its online magazine Slate and games--a division that Jennings emphasized is going strong--Netizens for the most part simply weren't interested in say, substituting the Web for TV.


That last convergence monkey has been shifted over to WebTV's back. Good for MSN, I guess.

Cheers, Dan.
