I find today’s media landscape oversaturated with options that promote biased agendas. In my experience, Scripps News stands out as a source of unbiased information on the most crucial topics of the day, including politics, economics, global relations, technology, healthcare, and scientific advancements.

In a hurry? Scripps News Channel isn’t widely available. Our top choice for streaming it is Fubo. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.

What Is Scripps News?

Scripps News Channels was founded in 2008 as Newsy. It initially operated as a syndication business, providing news and original content to major digital journalism brands such as AOL/Huffington Post, Microsoft, and Mashable. In January 2014, Newsy was acquired by the E. W. Scripps Company.

The Newsy over-the-air network launched in October 2021, introducing a new logo and graphical identity. The network aims to offer balanced and impartial reporting without political punditry or debates commonly seen on US cable news channels. In January 2023, Newsy was rebranded as Scripps News Channel.

Their dedicated team of journalists prioritizes facts and human stories, ensuring that their reporting is grounded in truth. With a presence in over 50 cities nationwide, their reporters are deeply connected to the communities they serve, providing a unique perspective on the issues that matter most.

Our Choice

Fubo ended up being my go-to for watching Scripps News after trying a bunch of streaming options. It’s got Scripps News in the base plan, plus over 150 other channels – a great mix if you’re into news and variety. The streaming is reliable and clear, and I love the unlimited cloud DVR for recording shows to watch anytime. It’s simple to navigate, works on everything from smart TVs to phones, and feels easy to set up and use.
