Welcome NEWZY sans opinion! Posted on October 5, 2021 at 02:14:03 PM by New Kid on the Block
E.W. Scripps-owned Newsy becomes a free 24/7 broadcast news network today, available to more than 90% of U.S. television homes through over-the-air service and supplementing its ubiquitous over-the-top and connected TV distribution.
The opinion-free national news network now serves its audiences with 14 news bureaus across the country staffed by experienced, seasoned journalists providing 17 hours of daily news.
“We have built a team of strong storytellers, anchors and reporters with a goal of making journalism as enjoyable, relevant and interesting as it is important,” said Kate O’Brian, head of the news group for Scripps Networks. “Our promise will be to provide the objective journalism that Americans are seeking.”
Newsy began streaming services in 2008 and already is available on nearly every major over-the-top and connected TV platform. Today’s launch brings Newsy to Scripps’ broadcast stations’ spectrum as well as that of partner broadcasters. Its distribution over the air will make it the only American news television network to be on both growth platforms (OTA and OTT).
Unlike other broadcast or cable news outlets, Newsy delivers the same news experience and programming to every device. Viewers can watch Newsy over the air using their TVs’ built-in tuners or digital antennas, on Newsy.com, as well as on their favorite streaming devices or services, including Apple TV, Fire TV, Pluto TV, Roku, Samsung, Sling, Vizio and Xumo.
