PBS NewsHour

PBS NewsHour is an American evening television news program broadcast on over 350 PBS member stations. It airs seven nights a week and is known for its in-depth coverage of issues and current events.

Anchored by Judy Woodruff, the program's weekday broadcasts run for one hour and are produced by WETA-TV in Washington, D.C. From August 5, 2013, to November 11, 2016, Woodruff and then-co-anchor Gwen Ifill were the first and only all-female anchor team on American broadcast television's national nightly news program. On Saturdays and Sundays, PBS distributes a 30-minute edition of the program, PBS NewsHour Weekend, anchored by Hari Sreenivasan and others and produced in New York City by WNET.

The PBS NewsHour originates from WETA's studio facilities in Arlington County, Virginia (for its weekday editions), Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication (later weekday editions with updates targeted for the West, online, and late-night viewers), and the Tisch/WNET Studios at Lincoln Center in Manhattan (for its weekend editions); additional facilities are in San Francisco and Denver. The program is a collaboration between WETA-TV, WNET, and PBS member stations KQED in San Francisco, KETC in St. Louis, and WTTW in Chicago.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The great theme song and the intro with full song.
 * 2) They provide honest information about the news happening in the United States. Because of their hour-long runtime and not having any commercial breaks, they can also go more in-depth than other half-hour programs.
 * 3) Not only that, but they also cover international issues, which are strongly lacking in other US news outlets.
 * 4) After each news story, an extra fact is listed, which can help provide either an interesting tidbit or some context.
 * 5) They disclose funding at the beginning of beginning of each broadcast, which shows a commitment to transparency. This can make audiences more aware of who could be influences on their reporting.
 * 6) Many of the correspondants featured on the show are likeable personalities, such as David Brooks, Jonathan Capeheart, Tamara Keith, and Anna Walker.
