MS NOW, the cable news network, launched a paid membership service on Wednesday with five exclusive shows hosted by prominent personalities including Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. The $7.99-per-month ($79.99 annually) subscription offers a moderated community, personalized daily briefings, and access to the network's 24/7 television feed.

The program lineup includes a monthly long-form interview series with Rachel Maddow, a weekly behind-the-scenes look at Lawrence O'Donnell's unaddressed topics, a data-driven weekly show by Ali Velshi, and a weekly question-and-answer session with former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann. Claire McCaskill will host "Political Potluck," featuring discussions with lawmakers and officials, while Hakeem Jeffries will appear in the first session of "House Minority Leader Live."

The membership, divided into five sections - For You, Watch, Connect, Breathe, and Explore, offers a Community Hub for moderated discussions and live streams of MS NOW's events, beginning with "MS NOW Live: Together in Texas" on September 26. MS NOW's president Rebecca Kutler and SVP of content strategy Marcus Mabry unveiled the concept, emphasizing the need to address news consumers' concerns about information overload, isolation, and anxiety.

The membership aims to provide concise curation, connection, and agency, allowing members to catch up on news in around 10 to 30 minutes.
