MorningNews 1289 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Based off of the success of WNT I definitely think the next anchor change for any of the newscasts will trend much younger than 50-60. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBride 0 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I'm not a Fox fan, but Shep Smith may be a great alternative to all of the major overly-opinionated cable "news" shows. And he will crush Joy Reid's ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNBC & MSNBC have different audiences and plus there won't be a Joy Reid vs Shep Smith as he may crossover to MSNBC & NBC at times for Breaking News and other related work at the NBC Networks. Smith's show start mid-to late September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liugrad2020 80 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I would think Sheppard will anchor CNBCs election night coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newsjunkie24 500 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 It looks like we'll see a lot of CNBC talent who have experience as regular journalists doing general news. I'll definitely tune in tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 818 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Couple of pics. No traditional open..he just went straight to the news of the day. The studio/set appears to be just off the CNBC newsroom. Also worth noting is that the set doesn’t match the renderings, so maybe this is a temporary setup??

PTVNews 188 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 So far, it's way more interesting to watch than News Nation. I'm liking what I see! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAY better than NewsNation. It was so great to see Shep again, something of normalcy. Shepard said he will be moving to his new set soon. I love everything except the graphics, they don't look like something NBCArtWorks would normally do, awkward lower thirds and huge CNBC logo just looks weird to me.

Georgie56 3059 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 It was pretty good, all things considered. He bought some hallmarks from Fox Report with him, like "bottom of the hour, top of the news" and "Around The World in 80 Seconds". It felt like watching Fox Report at times.

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Watched some clips. This is everything News Nation was billed to be (but isn't, and never will be). Wish Shep the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newsjunkie24 500 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Watched the premiere tonight. Shep seemed very happy to be back on the air again. There was a 50/50 mix of CNBC talent and NBC News talent. It's been a few weeks since I watched NewsNation, so I'm not sure if "The News" is better than NewsNation or not. I wish Shep the best of luck too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner 212 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 "That's just the noise, and we need to cut through it." - Shep about getting straight to it without a traditional open on the first day.

Keeping these touches that made Shep what he was at his old home and using graphics that strongly resemble Fox's own graphics are definitely done with intention. Here's hoping Shep can really build on his new place and settle in and avoid the cancellation bear (Greta) / making stupid gaffes (Megyn). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatron81 179 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I haven't watch the show as I have other things I like to at 7PM. I always liked Shepherd Smith I was surprised he signed with CNBC I thought he'd have gone to MSNBC or CNN that is where I thought that Shepherd was going when he left Fox News.

There was no room for Shep at both MSNBC and CNN, which is probably why he's on CNBC. The 7:00 hour was mostly reruns prior to Shep's arrival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNBC is mostly a business network, so going from Jim Cramer to Shep has got to be a slight trainwreck. Maybe the ratings would be better if it wasn't on a channel with a small, niche audience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DENDude 184 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 News Nation feels like a local newscast that's trying to do national news. My biggest annoyance with it is they cover a story or event, that in no way is of national interest. Like this story for instance (Why are they covering this? This isn't of national significance): https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/northeast/connecticut-school-teacher-uses-hip-hop-to-help-homeless-community/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't watch NN right now due to Nexstar's dispute with Dish, which I have to get TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't of national significance): https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/northeast/connecticut-school-teacher-uses-hip-hop-to-help-homeless-community/ It isn't necessarily of "national significance", but it is a story that directly targets the emotional appeal of what you'll typically see in local news... now in a national package like NewsNation. Remember, Nexstar's NewsNation is developed to be a national newscast with local interests and these local stories directly play into that idea given the context and the audience of the program. NewsNation isn't going to be the place to find hard news and analysis about America's debt for 3 hours straight, but you will see softer stories that highlight the unique regional fabric of the United States without the whole "doom & gloom" fare and could be of interest to a national audience, despite not being immediately relevant to your area. Let me copy-paste my post from the Discord server that explained my point that, besides journalistic directions, NewsNation shouldn't be compared 1-to-1 to Smith's program, which focuses on general national subjects like politics and the economy. I also delved into "day one" reactions from some members as well: Quote I mean, let's not undermine the creative efforts at NewsNation and their unique format. A local-national hybrid has never been done before in this class, and you got to give Nexstar props for that. Of course, their efforts would not compare to Smith's efforts since his program is formatted differently, targets a different audience, and backed up by seasoned NBC national journalists, and it shows. But with all things considered, I won't agree that NN was "outclassed in every way" by Smith, which is hyperbolic at best. Like, let's be clear here. Smith's and Nexstar's efforts are making a solid attempt to report factual, solid news. The only difference is that I found NN to be bogged down by bothsiderism, while Smith's program was not. Smith made an attempt to journalistically challenge the information (which is what journalism is all about, mind you), while NN hastily refits the idea of false balance as "unbiased" by covering "two sides of the story". But journalistic challenging aside though, my point is that there is nothing else different that Shep is bringing to the table in regards to the format of his program. It's not bad, but let's not kid ourselves - this is a tried and true formula that we've seen before and it clearly worked for Shep here. Furthermore, NN's format is creatively different in their own way, and they should be noted for that. Also, I find the reactions a bit hyperbolic - the fact that NN got a hilariously low rating compared to Shep based on journalistic prowess, while everyone gave NN a 10/10 on day one because they covered weather in primetime? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENDude 184 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I Was looking at some ratings info the other day, and man--"The News with Shepard Smith" was way down on the list. I have a hard time seeing the program lasting unless the ratings improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
