Elizabeth Vargas Bets She Can Build a NewsNation “Newscast of Record”

"Do we understand that this is like a Herculean task to launch a brand-new network? Absolutely," the former ABC News veteran says.

Elizabeth Vargas thinks there’s room for a new evening newscast.

“I think a lot of people feel like they’re just being ignored or they’re turned off by the extreme nature of just one side, or the two extremes arguing with each other,” Vargas tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I think there’s a way to cover what’s happening right now in this country and around the world in a smart way. That doesn’t devolve into shouting matches or, you know, political talking points that aren’t really even related in many cases, to the events that we’re covering.”

Elizabeth Vargas Joins Newsnation.

Vargas, a veteran TV news correspondent and anchor (she succeeded the legendary Barbara Walters as the anchor of ABC’s 20/20), will launch her new show Elizabeth Vargas Reports on NewsNation Monday during the critical evening news window of 6 to 7 p.m.

“It’s the newscast of record for NewsNation every day. It is not an opinion show, it is a news show. So we’ll be covering the biggest stories of the day, in depth,” Vargas says. “I think by 6 p.m. A lot of people already know the headlines of what happened. So we’re going to go deeper on the very biggest stories, as well as later on in the show — as in the last 20 minutes of the show — perhaps [feature] two big stories that affect everybody across the country that might not be in the headlines that day, but are incredibly important to people everywhere.”

Excuse me as I go roll on the floor to laugh. Her colleague Dan Abrams can't even get 50K viewers on a decent night. How can THIS show compete with CNN/Fox/MSNBC? The network started 25 years too late. Tribune should have thought about this in the waning days of WGN Superstation.

At least they thought about streaming and apps for the network.

Nexstar will tell you. “But we keep all the as revenue”. As stupid as this sounds, a big mistake would be going 24-hour news and dumping the sitcoms that actually get ratings and revenue

Back then there was no MLB league pass, the Cubs/WGN were a cash cow. If WGN/Tribune hadn’t spend excess dollars on scripted programming, when their company was already in trouble, the Superstation would still be around

guess the syndication deals of the remaining shows that were hold overs from WGN America have finally expired hence why they weren't willing to move to 24/7 when they first launched.

guess the syndication deals of the remaining shows that were hold overs from WGN America have finally expired hence why they weren't willing to move to 24/7 when they first launched.

I don't think they have completely expired yet but they should be getting close. Blue Bloods and Last Man Standing is still airing on Newsnation but looks like only on Weekends.

Right now Last Man Standing is only on Weekends while Blue Bloods is on Weekdays and Weekends. The way the listings looks it's Blue Bloods on Saturdays and Last Man Standing on Sundays.

Newsnation did mention they plan on airing news all day on the weekends starting sometime in 2024.

 

[Megatron]

The end of 2024 is when NewsNation goes 24/7 7 days a week, I'll not be surprised in the fall of 2024 that the weekends will largely be news, and Blue Bloods & Last Man Standing will be only aired in late night & early morning hours in my opinion.
