NewsNation

NewsNation is an American cable news network owned by Nexstar Media Group and headquartered in the WGN Studios in Chicago, Illinois. Known for most of its history as WGN Superstation and Superstation WGN before becoming WGN America in 2008, it relaunched on March 1, 2021, as a cable news network named after its flagship news program. The channel's relaunch came as part of a planned expansion of its news programming. The channel continued to carry some entertainment programming held over from WGN America on weekends, but this was discontinued in July 2024. After being acquired by Nexstar, The Hill and broadcast network The CW have collaborated with NewsNation on content. In September 2018, the channel, then WGN America, was received by approximately 80 million households that subscribed to a pay television service throughout the United States (or 62.7% of households with at least one television set). The channel has publicly claimed to be centrist, but in 2021, several NewsNation staff left the network citing concerns they were being pushed by management to lean to right-wing politics in news coverage. By 2026, NewsNation had hired pro-Trump commentator Katie Pavlich and several other Fox News journalists.
