Vice News Tonight
Vice News Tonight is an American news program that aired on Vice TV on Thursday nights at 10 p.m. It was originally broadcast on HBO as the channel's first-ever daily series, premiering October 10, 2016. HBO cancelled the series after three seasons, ending September 2019. The program was relaunched in 2020 on the Vice TV network. In April 2023, Vice announced that Vice News Tonight would be cancelled, with its final show airing on May 25.
Josh Tyrangiel, Vice executive vice-president for news content said that the idea came in an effort to try to engage viewers, and not simply to summarize the news. He said that the purpose is "actually placing stories in context and understanding them in a timely way (is) where the great value is," and that Vice is focused on "trying to build a long-term relationship with viewers that's focused on how the world works."
Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president for HBO, said that the show came about because HBO "[wanted] the show to be a good fit for viewers looking for a traditional experience, as well as for those millennials who prefer to get their content on a tablet or a smartphone and want a more interactive experience."
In August 2017, Vice News Tonight received attention after its coverage of the Unite the Right rally, entitled Charlottesville: Race and Terror, went viral after HBO's decision to put the entirety of the episode for free for all to view on YouTube. CNN's Brian Stelter declared the coverage to be Vice News Tonight's "breakout moment." The segment earned Vice News Tonight a 2017 Peabody Award for News coverage.
On June 10, 2019, HBO announced it would be cancelling Vice News Tonight and severing its seven–year partnership with Vice Media. In mid-August 2019, Viceland (now Vice TV), a basic cable network joint venture between Vice Media and A&E Networks, announced it was picking up Vice News Tonight. It premiered on March 4, 2020 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and would run an hour instead of the half-hour length while on HBO. Vice News Tonight aired on Vice TV Thursday nights at 10 p.m. ET/PT, for a full hour.
In a statement, Vice Media said that Vice News Tonight is a news program with "no ads, no anchors, and no censors."
A typical episode uses a mix of voiceovers, graphics and video packages to dive into national and global news, technology, the environment, economics, and pop culture. The program is devoted to the idea of not using on-air news anchors.
Episodes could be modified hours before airtime to accommodate more-newsworthy segments, and the show could go live if necessary.
