News nation with Marni Hughes to start on September 19th

This spot will start on September 19th.

“Marni will present a fast-paced look at events of the day with the perspective and nuance of a national news show,” said Holm, who also serves as executive producer of NewsNation’s Early Morning, which launched in late June.


Hughes said: “Having been at NewsNation since its inception, I am grateful to have shared so many important stories that have impacted people on both a local and national level. As I prepare for my latest role as host of NewsNation Live, I am really looking forward to continuing to shine a light on the headlines and issues that matter most to our viewers.”

My wife and I enjoy her current work at 8 p.m. I am glad to see them continue their expansion, with their right-down-the-line reporting providing a welcome respite from both the left and right-leading other options.
 
With more news being added either October or maybe even December will be the end of syndicated programming on Newsnation. Hours of Last Man Standing and Blue Bloods gets old fast. Last Man Standing also airs on CMT and USA while Blue Bloods airs on Ion and now UP TV as well.

You're one of about 40,000 viewers (or less) watching NewsNation. NEWSMAX gets more viewers. I don't know how NN has continued to survive, especially not breaking in for such an important event like Queen Elizabeth's death. If anything, they should have simulcasted WGN 9, if they broke in for coverage. But they didn't. Fools!!

One of those shows (Ashleigh Banfield?) was only getting 7,000 viewers 18-49.
 
Not 'a lot'. They have a niche audience, but still more than NewsNation. Chris Salcedo and Eric Bolling get around 50-70K viewers a night. The prime-time talking heads on Fox News get 2-3 million.

Yes I place a safe bet that even Nexstar's owned stations like WPIX, KRON, WGN-TV, KTXL, KSWB and KTLA beat News nation by multiple times over news Nation. That 40,000 viewers figure sounds good if it's a local station below the top 30 TV markets. Probably KLAS Las Vegas or KSEE/KGPE Fresno's ratings.

Nexstar forces their local news to promote Banfield and Dan Abrams, and it apparently isn't helping. 7000 people? Nationwide?

Not just major markets. Even local stations in markets outside the top 100 - say Lansing, Mich. or Tyler, Tex. - probably have more viewers.

Maybe not News Nation, but viewership for CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC spikes in times of major breaking news.

I haven't seen the numbers for Thursday afternoon, September 8th, but I suspect that during the hour between 1:30 and 2:30 P.M. EDT (the hour after Queen Elizabeth's death was announced), the number of combined viewers watching CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC was anywhere between double and quadruple the number of combined viewers the three usually get on a Thursday at that hour.

Even though the broadcast networks will be carrying the Queen's funeral Monday morning (September 19th), again, I suspect CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC will draw far more viewers than they normally would attract on a weekday morning .

And the next time those networks will get much higher than usual ratings will be if the test launch of the Artemis 1 moon rocket takes place as currently scheduled on September 27th. Live coverage of the launch on CNN, Fox News Channel, and MSNBC will attract several times those networks' normal weekday daytime viewership, especially if ABC, CBS, and NBC don't carry the launch live.

Is it local TV stations below 150? This is where News Nation is tied with in terms of viewers. Yes that 7000 and 999 figures had to be from those TV Markets.

Glendive, MT Media Market

Latest household population estimate of the Glendive, MT DMA media market in the United States.

This is my approximate guess for now.

No, the ratings for NewsNation quoted above are national. I was trying to point out that the big 4 broadcast networks in places like Lansing probably have more prime time viewers than NewsNation - even though I don't have access to local market Nielsen ratings.
 
If NewsMation's ratings are that low on a regular basis it sounds like this idea was a big mistake and they should go back to something like WGN America.

True though I meant the audience size for a national network looks like it was meant for very small TV markets but then again I don't see NewsNation going away soon. I see it being used to provide national news content for their owned affiliates like WPIX, KTLA, WGN, like CNN provided national news content to local TV stations in the past.

Most likely I see NewsNation aiming to go after Newsy in the Streaming realm on TV apps and not so much on Cable as they were aiming to do.
