History

Newsy was founded in 2008 on the premise of creating quality video journalism that was easily digestible on mobile devices and the web. In its early years, Newsy operated primarily as a syndication business, selling news and original content to major digital journalism brands that included AOL/Huffington Post, Microsoft and Mashable. Since being acquired by E. W. Scripps Company, Newsy has become a national news brand focused on delivering news to millennials and Gen X consumers.
In September 2017, Scripps announced it would take over RLTV's cable carriage agreements for approximately 26 million subscribers and reprogram the network with Newsy's lineup of shows already available on major OTT services.
Newsy has six U.S. offices: Columbia, Missouri; Chicago; Cincinnati; New York; Denver; and Washington, DC.
