Network Launches Early-Evening Weekend
Edition of “NewsNation Now” with Adrienne Bankert
NewsNation today announced that it will expand its news
programming to 24-hours-per-day Monday through Sunday, beginning
June 1. The network will launch the final portion of its live news
line-up with the early-evening edition of NewsNation Now with
Adrienne Bankert on Saturdays and Sundays from 4-7 p.m. ET. This
new block of news follows the recent launches of the weekend
editions of Morning in America with Hena Doba from 7 a.m. to 10
a.m. ET, NewsNation Live from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET, NewsNation Now
with Anna Kooiman from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET, and The Hill Sunday
with Chris Stirewalt, which debuted earlier this year.
“We are immensely proud to announce that NewsNation is now a
24/7 cable news network," said Sean Compton, President of Nexstar’s
Networks division. "This milestone marks the culmination of our
efforts to continue expanding and growing the network since
launching it in 2020. It reaffirms our commitment to delivering
unbiased news coverage, a mission that resonates deeply with our
viewers, fostering their trust in the brand, and strengthening
their loyalty to NewsNation."
According to Nielsen, since its rebranding in March 2021,
NewsNation’s primetime viewership is up nearly 210% in total
viewers and up nearly 120% among adults ages 25 to 54. NewsNation
is now the country’s second-most widely distributed cable news
network, reaching nearly 67 million U.S. television households.
The network also announced the hiring of three veteran
journalists:

weekend edition of NewsNation Now on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4
p.m. ET. Most recently, she served as host of Your Day with Anna
