NEXSTAR — WGN America will launch a live, prime-time national newscast this summer. Nexstar, the company that manages this station and WGN America, is proud to announce the anchors and a premiere date of September 1st.
The 3-hour newscast is called “News Nation” and it will air every night from 7:00 – 10:00 P.M. central time. “News Nation” will be a fact-based, unbiased newscast, telling stories from across the country that impact you and your family.
There will be a heavy emphasis on breaking news and forecasting and following severe weather.
