ATLANTA – Scripps News, the national news network owned by The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP), is rolling out a new lineup for its streaming programming on Nov. 18. The new schedule will give viewers crucial daily information, providing live in-depth storytelling on the biggest events across the country.
Beginning Monday, Scripps News will continue to bring viewers on all major streaming platforms quality, objective journalism with weekday live programming from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Outside of those hours, Scripps News will also air select major events and breaking news live in prime time and expand its showcasing of news reports from Scripps’ local, national and international journalists.
In September, Scripps announced it would end Scripps News’ over-the-air broadcast on Nov. 15. Scripps tapped Scripps News Vice President Matt Simon to lead the network moving forward, and he will be responsible for the vision, overall leadership, editorial identity and programming for Scripps News’ national, centralized news organization.
“We recognize that streaming is the future of our business – and we’re well positioned to reach even more viewers there since we have grown our streaming viewership more than 44% year over year,” Simon said. “We’ll continue to deliver quality journalism with an even-greater emphasis on integrating with our local stations – and our focus will be on innovative showcasing of our original reporting across the enterprise.”
Scripps News will air special programs from its investigative and enterprise teams periodically on all its streaming platforms. Next week, it will debut “In the Shadows with Jason Bellini.” Bellini, Scripps News’ award-winning international correspondent, will travel to the scene of some of the most pressing international crises of our time to find the brightest parts of humanity still persevering in the shadows. The first installment premieres on Thursday, Nov. 21, at 7 p.m. ET.
