NewsNation expanding programming to 24 hours a day

Additional Weekday Programming, “NewsNation Now,” to Broadcast Live from 1-5 p.m. ET

Channel to be Available 24/5, Marking Major Cable News Milestone

CHICAGO, IL – April 18, 2023 – NewsNation, America’s fastest-growing cable news network, today announced that it will expand to 24-hours, Monday through Friday, beginning Monday, April 24th. As part of the expansion, the network will launch a new live four-hour weekday programming block entitled NewsNation Now, airing from 1-5 p.m. ET.

“I couldn’t be more proud of what we have accomplished in just a little over two and half years,” said Sean Compton, President of Nexstar Networks. “NewsNation’s growth has been fueled by exceptional talent with stellar reputations for high-quality journalism, and by viewers hungry for unbiased news reporting. Becoming a 24-hour news network Monday through Friday positions us well to keep growing our audience by providing them with consistently meaningful news coverage.”

Each weekday, NewsNation Now will cover the day’s top news headlines with live reports from network correspondents around the country. The program will be anchored by a rotation of journalists from 1-3 p.m. ET, followed by anchor Nichole Berlie from 3-5 p.m. ET. Guest anchors will include weekend anchor Natasha Zouves, chief Washington correspondent Blake Burman, and correspondents Markie Martin, Keleigh Beeson, and Brooke Shafer, until a permanent anchor is named.

“From the start, our mission has been to inform and enlighten our viewers with balanced news programming and we will continue to do so with this added block,” said Michael Corn, President of News at NewsNation. “Over time, we’ve built trust with our audience and with this expansion, I think we can capitalize on the swiftly evolving broadcast news landscape. Viewer trust is at the center of everything we do, and viewer demand for this expanded block is strong.”

Earlier this month, NewsNation debuted a new state-of-the-art studio in New York City and launched Elizabeth Vargas Reports (weeknights, 6 p.m. ET), anchored by Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist Elizabeth Vargas. Earlier this year, the network extended its daytime programming, adding a third hour of NewsNation Live, hosted by anchor Marni Hughes (weekdays, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. ET). As previously announced, also debuting on April 24th is The Hill, a political news and analysis program airing at 5 p.m. ET, and broadcasting live from Washington, D.C.

Netflix Profits Drop: The company will stop renting DVDs by year’s end

Mid Tuesday, Netflix sent an email to all customers informing them the company will stop renting DVDs by the end of the year.

The below is a copy of that email:

For 25 years, it’s been our extraordinary privilege to mail movie nights to our members all across America. On September 29th, 2023, we will ship our final iconic red envelope.

While times have changed since our first shipment in March 1998, our goal has remained the same: to provide you with access to the broadest collection of movies and shows possible, delivered directly to your door, with no due dates or late fees.

As the DVD business continues to shrink, it’s going to become increasingly difficult to achieve that goal. In our final season, we’ll continue providing you the best service possible, all the way to the very last shipment.

You may have some questions, and we’ve tried to answer them in our Final Season FAQ – and if you want to share something with us, you can send feedback here.

We sincerely thank you for joining us on this amazing journey. We could never have shipped more than 5 billion discs without movie lovers like you. It’s been a genuine privilege to share movie nights with you.

Pop the popcorn, fire up your player, and enjoy this final season of red envelopes.

Sincerely,
The Netflix DVD team
