Nexstar Media Group has unveiled a lineup of anchors and correspondents for its upcoming nightly national newscast. Joe Donlon, who co-anchors the 5, 6, 9 and 10 p.m. newscasts at WGN, will lead the Monday-through-Friday anchor team for “News Nation,” set to debut September 1 on WGN America cable network. Originating from WGN studios, it will air from 7 to 10 p.m. seven nights a week. Joining Donlon on weeknight editions of “News Nation” will be co-anchor Marni Hughes from Fox-owned KCPQ in Seattle.

Jason, shouldn’t the headline read “Nexstar news network” rather than Sinclair?
Oops! It has been updated, thanks!
I don’t think many of the ABC, NBC, CBS, or FOX stations within the Nexstar group will carry the newscast. It’s three hours in prime time.
Any wagers as to how long this network will last?
