I'd say good for her! You'd think that you've hit rock bottom when you're doing one of those programs where all you do is introduce videos. Much like those that you'd see in the middle of the night with titles such as 'World's Wackiest Weather', or 'World's Most Extreme Sports'. In my area, her iCrime show aired right after Nightline early in the morning, and then again, right after Drew Barrymore's talk show at 10:30. Granted, this did give her a primo spot right before The View. Let's all hope that this leads to a career resurgence.

Congrats to her. They've hired Banfield and Cuomo prior.

Does this make up for the network hiring Cuomo? Not really but most shows are fair and balanced. NewsNation is not to be confused with NewsNet an over the air news network. However, I think NewsNet recently created an app and now runs on there too. NewsNation is what was WGN America. 5 or 6 hours a day they run shows like Blue Bloods or CSI or something. Rest is news shows.

So not to get you guys confused but Scripps News Network is another Over The Air Network, that replaced Newsy, but some cable companies may have added it or it maybe on Roku Channel or Pluto TV, unsure. NewsNet is over the air but now has an app with that running on it. But NewsNation is what was WGN America. It is cable only but YouTube TV has it.

Those weather shows are from The Weather Channel and are part of the schedule when not doing weather. Usually overnights and weekends.

Unlike in the 1980's and 1990's, most people took a while to warm up to what CNN, the former Headline News, and Fox News initially tried to present to audiences.

Once each channel took off, things changed. In other words, with NewsNation joining a rather crowded field when you also include MSNBC--how many people will a) actually watch, and b) if they can't watch on the TV end, how will many viewers will download their app and get their news on demand?

Every new show starts out claiming “we’re going to be different, we’re not gonna get into politics, we’ll do solid journalism,” etc. and they all wind up just chasing Trump.
Putting a has-been anchor in front of a bunch of local news reporters hardly seems like a winning formula to me.
If this lasts a year, I will be surprised.

It's hard to beat Fox News, heck they're still getting good ratings despite their lawsuit and what's coming out about them.
