NewsNation, Nexstar Media Inc.’s wholly-owned news and entertainment cable network reaching 75 million U.S. television households, on Monday unveiled its latest expansion plans, adding 12 hours of live news programming weekly by early June. Once the expansion is complete, the network’s weekly original programming will increase from 21 hours at its launch in September 2020, to a total of 61 hours of live news, analysis and talk every week.

The programming expansion got underway in late February, when the network added an hour to its weekend newscast, “NewsNation Prime,” which now airs from 7 to 10 p.m. ET on Saturdays and Sundays. NewsNation’s live late evening national newscast, which debuted with the outbreak of war in Ukraine, will permanently join the network’s programming lineup weeknights from 11 p.m. to midnight ET. The show will continue being anchored by Marni Hughes and Leland Vittert and feature the latest developments from the war and other late-breaking news, as well as in-depth reporting by some of Nexstar’s more than 5,500 journalists across the country

For the network that has 200K+ less viewers than *Newsmax*? Excuse me, sorry if I do this, but:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bringing back WGN News at Nine and Tom Skilling really wouldn't be a difference either...

It would be better to go back to WGN America. I'll admit i didn't watch them mush, but I definitely don't watch them now.

They'd almost be better off becoming like a competitor to animal planet at this point.

Honestly, I don't know why NewsNation is bothering to expand its programming when hardly anyone watches it. Even the name of the network is not catching on, since a lot of people are spelling it wrong. (It's one word, not two.)

Early on I was rooting for them as a news alternative that claimed to be working to pull all the bias out of the presentation. The added no-name talk shows and that was the end. They force feed promos for Dan Abrams and "Banfield" in the 6pm news of all the Nexstar stations.
