Available in many markets via digital subchannels, mainly on Scripps/Ion stations |
Its content is available for free on OTT platforms including FuboTV, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, YouTube TV, Xumo, Haystack News and Samsung TV Plus, in addition to streaming devices such as Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. It is also available for free on more than 300 over-the-air stations, as of October 2021.[2]
Newsy was founded in 2008.[3] In its early years, Newsy operated primarily as a syndication business, selling news and original content to major digital journalism brands that included AOL/Huffington Post, Microsoft[4] and Mashable.[5]
In January 2014, Newsy was acquired for $35 million by the E. W. Scripps Company.[1]
In September 2017, Scripps announced it would take over RLTV's (Retirement Living Television) cable and satellite carriage agreements for approximately 26 million subscribers and reprogram the network with Newsy's lineup of shows.
Newsy had six U.S. offices [when?]: Columbia, Missouri (which is part of a co-collaboration with Scripps with Mizzou's Missouri School of Journalism) Chicago; Cincinnati; New York; Denver; and Washington, D.C.[6]
On April 6, 2021, Scripps announced that it would expand Newsy into a free over-the-air network, as well as being available on streaming platforms, starting October 1. The network would be available over-the-air on Scripps-owned Ion Television stations, along with some traditional Scripps stations without an Ion sister station and the former Ion-owned stations transferred to Inyo Broadcast Holdings, along with offering the network to other station groups. It also announced plans to relocate Newsy's national headquarters to Atlanta. The Newsy over-the-air network launched on October 1, 2021, debuting a new logo and graphical identity (created by Elevation) that day as well; its identity and goal is to provide "balanced", impartial reporting without political punditry or debates like those of their United States cable news competitors.[2][7][8]
In advance of the move exclusively to over-the-air distribution, Scripps began to notify traditional cable and satellite providers, along with some Internet television providers, at the end of March that it would end distribution of the network via those means on June 30, 2021, ending the nearly 15-year life of the channel space, including its time as RLTV.[9][10]
On September 29, 2022, Scripps announced that Newsy would be renamed Scripps News on January 1, 2023. The rebranding comes as part of the establishment of a new national news department of the same name at Scripps, combining its Washington bureau with the national bureau of its local station group.[11][12]
As of November 2021[update], Scripps News has current and pending affiliation agreements with 354 television stations in over 100 television markets encompassing 46 states, covering 84.98% of the United States.[13][14] As of June 26, 2023, most of Scripps's major network affiliate stations carry an hour of Scripps News during weekday afternoons, replacing The List and The Upside, which were produced by Scripps's lifestyle division.
