America's Talking was an American cable television channel focused mainly on talk-based programming, created by NBC, and spun off from economic channel CNBC.

[1] The headquarters were two floors below the original studios for CNBC in an office building on Fletcher Avenue in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

The channel was shuttered on July 15, 1996, and its transponder space was replaced by MSNBC.

In January 1996, NBC announced plans to partner with Microsoft to launch MSNBC on cable and online with the satellite transponder that America's Talking occupied, effectively ending the life of the network.

After network president Roger Ailes left NBC [8] to join Rupert Murdoch in launching the Fox News Channel for News Corporation, America's Talking officially signed off on July 15, 1996 and was replaced at 9 a.m. by MSNBC Live, hosted by Jodi Applegate.
