Chris Cuomo will continue his role at NewsNation.

The experienced television news anchor has signed a new multiyear contract with NewsNation, ensuring his presence on the emerging cable channel. Cuomo hosts his own show at 8 p.m. on this Nexstar-owned news network.

Cuomo plays a crucial role in NewsNation’s expansion efforts, particularly following the opening of a new studio in New York last year. The network relies on Nexstar’s network of local journalists and has also attracted seasoned TV news professionals who have transitioned from traditional networks.

“Chris is a unique talent whose exceptional analysis and commentary have contributed to the growth of NewsNation’s audience and enhanced our brand,” stated Sean Compton, president of Nexstar’s networks division. “He is deeply committed to NewsNation’s mission of providing ‘News for All Americans,’ and we are thrilled that he will continue to be a key part of our primetime programming.”

“Of course I am staying,” Cuomo remarked. “Where else but NewsNation can you reveal the truth instead of being compelled to conform? Let’s get to work!”

Cuomo, who has a background with Fox News, ABC News, and CNN, joined NewsNation in 2022 to help enhance its primetime offerings, alongside fellow industry veterans Dan Abrams and Ashleigh Banfield. He was dismissed from CNN in December 2021 after it was revealed that he assisted his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, with sexual harassment allegations.

While NewsNation still trails behind traditional cable channels in viewership, executives point out that its audience is growing by double-digit percentages, even as many competitors are experiencing declines. Additionally, as a startup leveraging Nexstar’s local resources, executives claim the network is already profitable.
