Newsy is an American news network founded in Columbia, Missouri, in 2008. [1] Its content can be found on OTT platforms including Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, Xumo, and Samsung TV Plus, in addition to streaming devices and services such as Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV.

History

Newsy was founded in 2008.[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]

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 carriage agreements for approximately 26 million subscribers and reprogram the network with Newsy's lineup of shows.

Newsy has six U.S. offices: Columbia, Missouri; Chicago; Cincinnati; New York; Denver; and Washington, DC.[5]

On April 6, 2021, Scripps announced that it would expand Newsy into a free over-the-air network, as well as being available on cable and on streaming platforms, starting October 1. The network would be available over-the-air on Scripps-owned ION stations and on its affiliate stations plus on affiliates from other station groups. It also announced plans to relocate Newsy's national headquarters to Atlanta. [6]

As of June 30, 2021, Newsy is no longer available for multichannel television providers including Dish Network, Charter Spectrum, Comcast Xfinity, Cox, Altice USA, DirectTV, Philo, Sling TV, and YouTube TV.[7]
