They have programmed regular nightly news programs and documentaries. They also offer news analysis. They plan to produce 45,000 hours of local news per year in 2022.

News networks entered the news streaming business because they sensed a technological advantage. Streaming allows news to be delivered in real time, making it more timely and convenient. It also allows networks to archive content. This makes building a news library economical.

Major streaming networks repurpose programming from cable and broadcast. They also offer reruns. They also plant a flag in the streaming frontier. They are trying to attract new players. The Fox News Channel has attracted 1.5 million subscribers to its Fox Nation streaming app.
