Nexstar Rebranding Says So Long to WGN America

Chicago Tribune: WGN America, the Chicago-based cable network, is expanding its prime-time news programming and rebranding as NewsNation, beginning March 1. The decision, announced by Dallas-based owner Nexstar Media, cuts ties to the network’s local TV roots, going all in on a cable news offering that has yet to catch on with viewers. “Rebranding WGN America as NewsNation underscores the network’s clearly defined mission of delivering fact-based and unbiased news.”
