Roger Ailes founded America's Talking and later took over CNBC. America's Talking was singularly unsuccessful. In January, 1996, NBC announced plans to partner with Microsoft to launch MSNBC on cable and the internet, using the satellite transponder that America's Talking occupied, effectively ending the life of the network. America's Talking officially signed off on July 15, 1996, after Ailes had departed NBC and been hired by Rupert Murdoch to launch the Fox News Channel for News Corporation, and was replaced at 9 am by MSNBC News Live, hosted by Jodi Applegate.
