Newsy is a U.S. news network founded in 2008 and acquired by The E. W. Scripps Company in January 2014 for $35 million.[1] Its content can be found on platforms including Comcast Xfinity, Charter Spectrum, Cox, Sling TV , AT&T U-verse, and YouTube TV in addition to set-top streaming devices and services such as Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Hulu.

History

Newsy was founded in 2008 on the premise of creating quality video journalism that was easily digestible on mobile devices and the web.[2] 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[3] and Mashable[4]. Since being acquired by E. W. Scripps, Newsy has become a national news brand focused on delivering news to millennials and Gen X consumers.

In September 2017 Scripps announced it would take over RLTV's (Retirement Living Television) cable carriage agreements for approximately 26 million subscribers and reprogram the network with Newsy's lineup of shows already available on major OTT services.[5]

Newsy has six U.S.-based offices in Columbia, Missouri; Chicago; Cincinnati; New York; Denver; and Washington, D.C[6].

Live programming

Newsy Live[7] is a non-stop news channel designed primarily as a digital-oriented service and is available on pay-TV services, including streaming devices, cable providers, video platforms and smart TV apps. News summaries are continuously updated and repeated in half-hour increments, and the channel is also able to provide in-full coverage of breaking news and major events when warranted. The service also includes longer-form news programs, including the evening newsmagazine "The Why," the morning show "The Day Ahead" and a midday show "The Briefing." The first is notable as the video featuring stories could last up to 10 minutes.[8] Newsy holds full editorial control over its content, and has a staff of 40 employees dedicated to the service.[9]

It is reported in 2016 that the channel was watched 1.3 billion times altogether with average viewing sessions of 37 minutes.[according to whom?] The channel tends to enjoy young viewers (25-54 years old), similar to CBSN, and unlike either CNN or Fox News.[citation needed]

Content

In addition to its daily live news coverage, the channel has also broadcast original series and special reports including:

  • A Woman's Job[10]
  • #OffTheTrail[11]
  • Getting A Fix[12]
  • Conflicted[13]
  • Revolt
  • Sold in America
  • Truthers
  • Varsity Gamers

In 2016, Newsy launched its Brand Studio,[14] which offers brands and agencies native video advertising that supplements Newsy's pre-roll and mid-roll video advertising. Since its launch it has produced branded video content for SUEZ and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Awards

Murrow Award for its news documentary, "The War and Money Project," in 2015.[15] Newsy was also named to Apple TV's Best of 2015 list.[16] Its editorial content has been nominated for numerous awards including The Digiday Publishing Awards, The Webby Awards,[17] The News & Documentary Emmy Awards,[18] and the Online Journalism Awards.[19]
