The MS part of MSNBC.com has pulled out of the joint venture. This ends the partnership between Microsoft and NBC News, which is now owned by Comcast.

The website, which is to be rebranded “NBCNews.com,” will move its headquarters from the Microsoft corporate campus in Redmond, Wash., to NBC News headquarters in New York.
