CNBC will keep its name but adopt a new logo.Going forward, the NBCUniversal News Group will consist only of NBC News, the NBC News Now streaming service, Telemundo and owned-and-operated local stations.Mark Lazarus, who will head Versant, told The Wall Street Journal that the company hoped to reduce "brand confusion" in the spinoff.LIBERAL MEDIA SPLIT: WHO GETS WHAT IN THE MESSY NBC-MSNBC DIVORCE?Lazarus added that MS NOW would continue catering to a progressive audience while prioritizing "holding the political figures from both parties to account.""Regardless of our name, our commitment to this community remains as strong as its ever been and in the months ahead we will unveil new ways to connect with you directly," MSNBC shared in a message to readers on its website.Trump said on Truth Social on Sunday that MSNBCs "Deadline: White House" host Nicolle Wallace would soon be fired.Trump reacted to a meme depicting Wallace as a clown, writing that she was "afraid of losing her job" and linking to an article calling her the "Typhoid Mary of Disinformation.""She is a loser, with bad ratings, who was already thrown off of "The View." She will be fired soon! MSNBC IS DEAD!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.MSNBC did not immediately return a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

FIRST ON FOX: An office within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) terminated a federal grant funding California's sex education program aimed at preventing teen pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases after the West Coast state reportedly refused to remove "radical gender ideology" from its curriculum, Fox News Digital exclusively learned Thursday."Californias refusal to comply with federal law and remove egregious gender ideology from federally funded sex-ed materials is unacceptable," acting assistant secretary at the Administration for Children and Families Andrew Gradison said in comment provided to Fox News Digital Thursday. "The Trump Administration will not allow taxpayer dollars to be used to indoctrinate children. Accountability is coming for every state that uses federal funds to teach children delusional gender ideology."The Administration for Children and Families which is an office under HHS' umbrella that funds state, local and tribal organizations to provide support for families such as child care announced Thursday morning that it was terminating the funding to California's Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) grant.The PREP program aims to educate California's youth, ages 1019, on preventing teen pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections, which the state says has led to students in the program "delaying sexual activity, increasing condom or contraceptive use for sexually active youth, or reducing number of sexual partners."TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BANS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM TAXPAYER-FUNDED SERVICES, INCLUDING HEAD START"Program services are engaging, nonjudgmental, medically accurate and tailored to the unique needs of youth participants and their communities," the PREP website states. "Services are offered in a range of settings, including schools, juvenile justice facilities, homeless shelters and foster care group homes. CA PREP activities also include community engagement and promotion of clinical linkages to youth-friendly reproductive health services."PREP specifically aims to assist those who "reside, attend school or receive reproductive health services in a high-need geographic area; are homeless and/or runaway; attend an alternative or continuation school; are in or emancipated from foster care; are in the juvenile justice or probation system; identify as LGBTQ; are receiving treatment for mental health or substance abuse issues; have special needs; live in migrant farmworker families or are expectant/parenting female youth up to age 21."GOP LAWMAKERS RIP NEWSOM, CALIFORNIA OFFICIALS FOR ALLOWING TRANS ATHLETES TO COMPETE IN GIRLS' SPORTSThe PREP grant has been under scrutiny by the Trump administration since at least March, when the Administration for Children and Families requested program leaders send copies of its curriculum and other relevant course materials to them for review. The probe was initially launched to ensure the state's sexual education programming is medically accurate and age-appropriate. Previous grant funding shows California's PREP program received just under $6 million from the federal government in fiscal year 2022. All in, California could lose$12.3 million in funding that it has not yet received, covering multiple years, according to HHS.The Administration for Children and Families reviewed the program's curriculum and other teaching materials, and found a lengthy list of subjects and language deemed to fall outside the program's "authorizing statute," in particular references to "gender ideology." In June, Fox News Digital reported Administration for Children and Families gave the sex education program a 60-day deadline to remove all references to gender identity or face potential termination of its funding.The 60-day deadline just ran dry, with the Administration for Children and Families subsequently terminating the funding and sending a letter to Sydney Armendariz, the division chief of Maternal Child, and Adolescent Health Division at the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and Matthew Green, the deputy director of the Center for Family Health at CDPH, declaring it was "terminating all California State Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) awards and suspending the funding effective August 21, 2025."The letter sent Thursday reported that following the Administration for Children and Families' June request to remove what it said was radical gender ideology from PREP teachings, California refused in a letter of its own.4-H FEDERALLY FUNDED CAMPS UNDER FIRE FOR CABINING KIDS, ADULT COUNSELORS BY 'IDENTITY'"CDPH will not make any such modifications at this time for several reasons," the California Department of Public Health said in a letter to ACF earlier this week, according to HHS. "The listed reasons were: 1) PREP materials had already been reviewed and approved by ACF; 2) the materials are medically accurate; 3) the gender ideology content is relevant to purposes identified in the authorizing statute, specifically the adult preparation subjects listed at 42 U.S.C. 713(b)(2)(C); and 4) ACF does not have authority to take an enforcement action."Among the materials Administration for Children and Families found amid its review of the curriculum was a lesson for middle school-aged students that sought to introduce them to the concepts of transgenderism, Fox News Digital previously reported."Weve been talking during class about messages people get on how they should act as boys and girlsbut as many of you know, there are also people who dont identify as boys or girls, but rather as transgender or gender queer," the lesson states to students. "This means that even if they were called a boy or a girl at birth and may have body parts that are typically associated with being a boy or a girl, on the inside, they feel differently."Other flagged lessons in the materials included curriculum for high school-aged students included instructions on what it means to be "nonbinary" and language that informed students "gender-identity" is "essentially a social status.""In a disturbing and egregious abuse of federal funds, California has been using taxpayer money to teach curricula that could encourage kids to contemplate mutilating their genitals, altering their body through hormone therapy, adding or removing breast tissue, and changing their name. It instructed teachers to remind students that some men are born with female anatomy," HHS said in a Thursday press release of the teachings.HHS GIVES CALIFORNIA DEADLINE TO OVERHAUL FEDERALLY-FUNDED SEX ED PROGRAM 'INDOCTRINATING' KIDSThe Administration for Children and Families also had raised concerns over materials for teachers within the program, including lessons on avoiding misgendering individuals."All people have a gender identity," the teacher training materials stated, Fox Digital previously reported. It also instructed educators to refer to people who identify with their sex "assigned at birth" as "cisgender," and added that those who are not "cisgender" may identify as "non-binary, agender, bigender, genderfluid, (or) genderqueer."Gradison's letter to the California health leaders Thursday underscored that Administration for Children and Families' decision to terminate the grant is final unless California health leaders file an appeal.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"This is the final decision of the Administration for Children and Families," the letter reads. "It shall be the final decision of the Department unless, within 30 days after receiving this decision, you submit a notice of appeal to the Departmental Appeals Board (DAB)."Fox News Digital's Alec Schemmel contributed to this report.

Deion Sanders will embark on his third season as the head football coach of the Colorado Buffaloes and the first without his sons Shedeur and Shilo playing for him.ESPN star Stephen A. Smith wondered in a segment on "First Take" with college football pundit Paul Finebaum what if Sanders decided to take a job with a school in the SEC. He specifically harped on the idea of Sanders replacing Kalen DeBoer as head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMAlabama, one of college footballs biggest powerhouses over the last decade or so, failed to make the College Football Playoff last year in its first season since Nick Saban retired. In 2023, the team lost to the Michigan Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. Michigan went on to win the national championship."Just imagine if he was in Tuscaloosa," Smith began. "What if, instead of DeBoer, it was him coaching Alabama? What if it was him coaching at Texas A&M with that oil money? Those alumni members contributing to the program and beyond. What if he was coaching at some place like Florida? What if Florida State had gone with him? Not to say their coach didnt do a damn good job at least a couple years but, my goodness, thats where he wanted to go. He desperately wanted to go back to Florida State. They didnt want him. OK? I know this for a fact because I was on the phone with him when this was all going down. Im telling you what he wanted."Smith proceeded to say that he thought the Crimson Tide were "considerably softer" in 2024 and wouldnt have minded if Sanders had packed his bags in Boulder for the challenge of Alabama.CFP COMMITTEE PLACING MORE EMPHASIS ON TEAMS' STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE THIS YEAR"And so, Im just saying to myself, him in the SEC Listen, Florida, Alabama, because Im not sold on DeBoer. I know he did a great job at Washington," he said. "But listen, they miss Nick Saban in Alabama. They miss Nick Saban. Dammit, I miss Nick Saban. When you dont have him, you cant have somebody that brings a finesse style of game to Alabama. Thats meat and potatoes yall. Thats steak and potatoes for breakfast. Thats what were talking about here."We didnt see that with DeBoer. I thought they were considerably softer, and Im not going to lie to you, I would not have minded at all if Alabama changed course and they brought somebody like Primetime to Alabama. That would have been spectacular. And I think its something they still should consider if this season is a repeat of last season."DeBoer, much like any head coach trying to replace Saban at Alabama, has enough pressure on him as it is. The No. 8 team in the nation will play Florida State to start its season on Aug. 30.Sanders was, at one point, the target of the Dallas Cowboys head coaching position. But the two sides never came to an agreement.It doesnt appear Sanders wants to leave Colorado and is more focused on the upcoming season and his health as he moves forward.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Ted Danson is reflecting on walking away from his iconic character in "Cheers."During a recent episode of his podcast, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name," the 77-year-old actor was asked by his guest, Charlie Day, if he ever worried about being typecast as an actor after playing such an iconic character for so long."First off, the transition was easy because I blew my personal life up so badly in that moment of leaving that it didn't even dawn on me that I had quite left Cheers for months because I was just dealing with myself and my personal stuff," Danson said.When asked if the work he was doing on himself in his personal life contributed to his decision to leave the show, Danson explained he thinks he chose to leave "because I went, 'I'm blowing s--- up in my life for the better.'"GEORGE WENDT'S WILD 'CHEERS' DAYS REVEALED: CAST PRANKS, MUSHROOM TRIPS AND SHOTGUN GIFTSDanson starred on the beloved sitcom as Sam Malone from 1982 to 1993, becoming one of the few cast members to appear in all 273 episodes of the show. "Cheers" came to an end after 11 seasons, when Danson expressed his desire to pursue other acting opportunities, with executives deciding the show should not go on without him."I was changing for the better and working really hard at that, so I thought, 'Might as well jump completely off the cliff,'" he explained. "And [there was] a little bit of... if I don't leave now, I may not know if I could do anything else and I want to see if I can do any other stuff."In terms of getting typecast, Danson shared that he believes it's "in your hands." While there will always be times "where critics or people don't want you to be" anything other than a specific character, he said that "if you don't pay any attention to that," the issue is easy to avoid.When it came time to step away from Sam Malone, Danson admitted it wasn't as hard as it had been for some of the other characters he's portrayed on screen.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING?

"That's how [creator James] Burroughs described it.

In 2000, he began playing a fictionalized version of himself on "Curb Your Enthusiasm," a role he would return to many times before the show's finale in 2024.Most recently, Danson starred in the comedy "The Good Place" as a demon named Michael, a role which earned him three Emmy nominations, and is currently starring as Charles in Netflix's "Man on the Inside," which is based on a real-life story, chronicled in the 2020 documentary "The Mole Agent."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"There's something inherently funny about a 76-year-old man who is a [retired] college professor, his life shut down, his daughter's worried, so she says, 'Get a project,' and he happens to whimsically find a project where he becomes an undercover spy in a retirement home," Danson told People in November 2024.He continued, "We get to explore aging, all those things that, in this country, sometimes we're afraid to talk about, memory loss, everything, we broach with a tenderness and a seriousness still contained in a kind of light-hearted, joyful way."Danson went on to say the role is special to him because, at 76 years old, he gets "to be part of this conversation, which is becoming more and more of my conversation in life."The role earned him a Golden Globe nomination in 2025, the same year he received the coveted Carol Burnett Award at the show.
