MSNBC has solidified the network’s replacement for the departing Dylan Ratigan show. The Cycle, which debuts Monday, features a permanent cast of four: Conservative commentator S.E.

In an adaptation from his book on Goldman, William D. Cohan reveals how secret merger discussions put the expansive trader and the hardheaded banker on a collision course, setting the stage for the firm it would soon become.

Smaller cable systems already feel they pay unfairly high prices to retransmit major network TV outlets compared to bigger systems. Friedman, who is also COO of Wave Broadcasting in Kirkland, Wash., offered the pledge Tuesday as the ...
