to its schedule since adopting its current format. Weekends likewise feature Blue Bloods and the sitcom Last Man Standing. Evening news programming On January 15, 2020, NewsNation's predecessor, WGN America, announced it would launch a three-hour-long, nightly prime time newscast titled NewsNation, which premiered on September 1, 2020. The program, which is produced from the WGN-TV facility in Chicago, offers non-partisan coverage that is based upon the traditional, straight news style of local television newscasts; it primarily uses the journalistic resources of Nexstar Media Group's 110 television news operations, augmenting an in-house staff of anchors, correspondents and meteorologists (almost all of whom exclusively have backgrounds in local television news). On March 1, 2021, coinciding with its relaunch under the NewsNation brand, the channel expanded its news programming to include the additions of three programs: NewsNation Early Edition (an hour-long early-evening newscast), The Donlon Report (an hour-long prime-access newscast anchored by Joe Donlon, who was reassigned from the weeknight NewsNation broadcasts) and Banfield (an hour-long weeknight news/interview program hosted by Ashleigh Banfield). The flagship evening newscast was retitled NewsNation Prime, and reduced from three hours to two. News programming began at 6 pm ET and the three programs repeat immediately following the end of Banfield at 11 pm. NewsNation's weekend news programming consists of two hours of NewsNation Prime and a rebroadcast of an episode of Banfield from the previous week. On July 19, 2021, NewsNation rebranded NewsNation Early Edition to Rush Hour (while keeping the same fast-paced straight news format) and introduced an opinion show, On Balance, hosted by former Fox News correspondent Leland Vittert to replace the first hour of NewsNation Prime. It also announced on that date that on September 27, Dan Abrams would host a prime time news analysis show and that former ABC News correspondent Adrienne Bankert would host a morning show titled Morning in America. In July 2022, NewsNation announced that Chris Cuomo would host a prime time news analysis show titled Cuomo replacing NewsNation Prime. Rush Hour was moved to 5 p.m. ET and expanded to two hours, essentially replacing NewsNation Prime as the evening newscast of record. Cuomo, Dan Abrams Live, and Banfield repeat at 11 pm.
