Nexstar Media Group’s fledgling NewsNation cable network is shuffling its programming lineup to add a nightly live show hosted by Dan Abrams and a three-hour morning news block anchored by Ad…
Both shows begin Sept. 27. “Dan Abrams Live,” to air at 8 p.m. ET, is described as a news analysis program that he asserts will be “less overtly partisan” that other cable news primetime hours. Abrams is a former anchor of ABC’s late-night mainstay “Nightline.” He will continue in his role as chief legal analyst for ABC News even with his new nightly berth on NewsNation.
Bankert, meanwhile, will anchor the 7 a.m.-10 a.m. ET “Morning in America” program. NewsNation signaled its plans to launch a beachhead in the lucrative morning news arena when Nexstar recruited “Good Morning America” weekend alum Adrienne Bankert as an anchor in April. The following month, longtime “GMA” executive producer Michael Corn joined NewsNation as president of news.
“Morning” will originate from NewsNation’s home base at Chicago’s WGN-TV. “Dan Abrams Live” will beam out from the studios of Nexstar’s WPIX-TV New York. NewsNation plans to hire about 100 journalists and production staff to run “Morning” and another 25 or so for “Dan Abrams Live,” according to Sean Compton, Nexstar’s president of networks.. “Dan and Adrienne are the most recent examples. Nexstar has given us their full support. We are just getting started.
Nexstar already owns nearly 200 TV stations that collectively employ some 5,500 local journalists to produce news. The vision behind NewsNation is to harness those resources for national broadcasts that draw on the wide range of material produced under the Nexstar umbrella on any given day. Compton is quick to note that Fox News Channel and MSNBC took time to build after bowing in 1996; CNN was derided as “Chicken Noodle News” for years after its 1980 launch.
The “Morning in America” moniker for Bankert’s show recalls the famously effective TV political ad for President Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election campaign. NewsNation leaders say the show will not be opinion programming.
