Chris Cuomo has a new primetime TV show on a new cable news channel, but he won’t be bringing his former CNN audience over with him. Not in its entirety, at least — not nearly.
The “Cuomo Prime Time” alum is joining Nexstar Media Group’s cable network NewsNation this fall as the host of his own primetime show there. The channel has not yet said which hour Cuomo will occupy; he had the 9 p.m. hour at CNN, which is now “CNN Tonight’s” timeslot. NewsNation is built on the concept of leaning neither hard left nor hard right, instead targeting the meaty middle between left-of-center and right-of-center. Unfortunately, thus far, the channel has not found a sizable audience there.
This year, the relative newcomer NewsNation is averaging a paltry 50,000 total viewers in primetime; only 8,000 of those viewers come from the 25-54 age range, which is considered the key...

Former CNN host Chris Cuomo will be making his return to television news as he joins the subscription television network NewsNation, owned by the Nexstar Media Group. As reported by Variety, Cuomo will join the NewsNation prime-time line-up in the fall. He is the latest big-name news anchor to land at the fledgling news channel, following Leland Vittert from Fox, Dan Abrams from ABC News and MSNBC, and Ashleigh Banfield from CNN. “Chris joins our growing team of seasoned, award-winning journalists and will further our efforts to continue to ensure fairness and transparency in our news reporting and talk shows,” said Nexstar Media’s president of networks Sean Compton (via Variety). Cuomo was let go from CNN last year after evidence showed that he had advised his older brother, Andrew Cuomo, throughout the then-governor’s sexual harassment scandal. The news anchor is currently attempting to secure a 125 million payment from...

Chris Cuomo is returning to the TV news desk: Seven months after being fired by CNN, the anchor has signed on to host a primetime show for NewsNation starting this fall.
NewsNation, the Nexstar Media channel formerly known as WGN America, is an upstart cable news network that has already signed a number of familiar names including Ashleigh Banfield and Dan Abrams. “Chris joins our growing team of seasoned, award-winning journalists and will further our efforts to continue to ensure fairness and transparency in our news reporting and talk shows,” Nexstar Media president of networks Sean Compton said in a statement.

After a long and much-publicized interruption, Chris Cuomo wants to get after it again.
Cuomo, who made that phrase the mission statement for his 9 p.m. program on CNN, is taking his bulldog demeanor and lean-in anchoring style to NewsNation, the still-nascent news outlet backed by large station owner Nexstar Media, which has in recent months made a series of acquisitions aimed at bolstering its presence in the media sector. Cuomo will join the NewsNation primetime lineup in the fall.
Cuomo has something to prove. His departure from CNN was less than amicable. The anchor was caught up in an investigation of sexual harassment claims against his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and in late 2021, New York State Attorney General Letitia James released documents showing the younger Cuomo took an active hand in helping his brother defend himself, an act that is anathema to most journalism organizations.

After years of buying and selling, the nation’s largest TV station groups have become local leviathans that own dozens of outlets across the country.
At an unsettled time for broadcast TV, the biggest independent groups — including Nexstar Media, Sinclair Broadcast Group and E.W. Scripps — are increasingly trying to generate new profit sources by using local news and programming assets in innovative ways.
Station owners are looking to capitalize on the fallout from cord-cutting, which has swelled the number of American households that watch free over-the-air TV without a cable subscription. Smart TV sets have made it much easier in many regions for viewers to access local broadcast channels the old-fashioned way while still seamlessly switching between local outlets and apps such as Netflix and Hulu.
“We believe strongly that over-the-air will continue to grow with younger people, the cord-cutters and the cord-nevers who recognize their ability to watch...
