Scripps News
Scripps News is a free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) streaming news channel, and a former American digital subchannel network headquartered in Atlanta, GA, and owned by the Scripps Networks division of the E. W. Scripps Company. It was previously known as Newsy, from its launch in 2008 until December 31, 2022.
Its content is available free on OTT platforms including FuboTV, Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, YouTube TV, Xumo, Haystack News, and Samsung TV Plus.
Newsy was founded in 2008. 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 and Mashable.
In January 2014, Newsy was acquired for $35 million by the E. W. Scripps Company.
Three years later, in September 2017, Scripps then announced it would take over RLTV's (Retirement Living TV) cable and satellite carriage agreements for approximately 26 million subscribers and reprogram the network with Newsy's lineup of shows.
Newsy had six U.S. offices or news bureaus located at: Columbia, Missouri (which is part of a collaboration with Scripps), together with Mizzou's Missouri School of Journalism (associated with the University of Missouri at Columbia); with five others at: Chicago; Cincinnati; New York City; Denver; and Washington, D.C.
On April 6, 2021, Scripps announced that it would expand Newsy into a free over-the-air TV network, and being available on streaming platforms starting October 1. The network would be available over-the-air on Scripps-owned Ion Television stations, along with some traditional Scripps local stations without an Ion sister station and the former Ion-owned stations transferred to Inyo Broadcast Holdings, along with offering the network to other station groups. It also announced plans to relocate Newsy's national headquarters to Atlanta. The Newsy over-the-air network launched on October 1, 2021, debuting a new logo and graphical identity (created by Elevation) that day with the identity and goal to provide "balanced", impartial reporting without political punditry or debates like those of their United States cable news competitors.
In advance of the move exclusively to over-the-air distribution, Scripps began to notify traditional cable and satellite providers, along with some Internet television providers, at the end of March that it would end distribution of the network via those means on June 30, 2021, ending the nearly 15-year life of the channel space, including its time as RLTV.
