NewsNation announced an expansion in programming today. The Nexstar Media cable network is adding 26 hours of news, analysis and talk to their weekly schedule.
Firstly, Dan Abrams Live will air weeknights from 8pm-9pm ET. Abrams is the CEO and Founder of Abrams Media, Chief Legal Affairs analyst for ABC News, and host of The Dan Abrams Show: Where Politics Meets the Law on SiriusXM radio. Moreover, the new show starts September 27.
“Joining NewsNation is a welcome, natural fit for me. Too much of cable news is polluted by partisanship with shows focused on indoctrinating viewers, unabashedly cheering for one side or another. We are committed to presenting independent-minded analysis and opinion on politics, media, and the most important stories of the day, exposing hypocrisy on all sides so viewers can make up their own minds. Always fact based, sometimes surprising, but never agenda driven—you might call it a cable news show for the rest of us.”

Morning in America
Secondly, Morning in America launches September 27. Furthermore, the show airs for three hours weekdays from 7am-10am ET. Adrienne Bankert will host the new morning show. The former Good Morning America anchor says she is “excited to bring a relatability to morning news that connects with the audience like never before.”
“This show will be a conversation, putting stories in context and getting behind the headlines. And we are going to have fun. Even if people wake up on the so-called ‘wrong side of the bed,’ I want them to turn on the TV and be not only more informed, but feel better, even happier watching us. I believe we are called to a higher standard at NewsNation—to offer a variety of viewpoints across America and give dignity to every voice. That’s what you’ll find on MORNING IN AMERICA five days a week.”

Nexstar says the program will be “a daily conversation of fresh, relevant information and ideas that harnesses the power of 5,500 local journalists and 110 newsrooms across the country and helps Americans who watch live happier and healthier lives.”

The cable network reaches 75 million households across the United States. Furthermore, it was formerly known as ‘WGN America’. The network is available via cable/satellite, streaming platforms, online and on the NewsNationNow app.
NewsNation currently airs live 6-11pm ET. In addition, encore presentations run until 3am.
