NEWSNATION debuted tonight and I likey ;-)
It’s like a return to the old days of FNC, only instead of “fair and balanced” the tagline is “balance not bias”. All news, no opinion.
Nexstar Media Group, the Irving, Texas-based TV station owner which acquired cable network WGN America as part of its 2019 purchase of Tribune Media, believes the shift to more talk and opinion on cable news has created an opportunity.
On Tuesday, the company will launch “NewsNation,” a nightly three-hour national prime time newscast (8 p.m. Eastern and 5 p.m. Pacific) that promises a neutral, opinion-free presentation of the day’s events, on WGN America.
The company’s 185 TV stations with 5,400 employees in 110 local newsrooms (including 150 new hires for NewsNation) will supply much of the reporting from around the country for “News Nation.” The Chicago-based program will have a bureau and a dedicated West Coast correspondent, Nancy Loo, working out of Nexstar’s Los Angeles station KTLA. Reuters will supply international coverage.
