ATLANTA—Scripps News continues to revamp its programming line-up with the announcement that it will debut five new programs this month.  

The new Scripps News programs premiering in April are:

  • “Trump on Trial” will air weeknights from 7:30 – 8 p.m. ET starting Monday, April 15. Anchored by Chris Nguyen. Four courtrooms, one history making defendant: In the first unprecedented trial of a former U.S. president, Scripps News takes you beyond the legalese of each proceeding. Each day Chris Nguyen, correspondents Alex Miller and Ava-joye Burnett and former Manhattan prosecutor Michael Scotto will analyze the developments from court that could shape the future of the country.
  • “Scripps NewsLine” airs weeknights at 9 p.m. ET beginning Monday, April 22. Anchored by Lauren Magarino, this show will thoroughly examine a single topic of the day, providing in-depth storytelling on a range of subjects from hard news to talkers of the day in American culture.
  • “Scripps News National Report” will air weekdays at 5 p.m. ET beginning late April. Anchors Chris Nguyen and Christian Bryant will look at the big stories impacting the nation from Washington, D.C. to Hollywood – and cities and towns in between. “Scripps News National Report” will feature national stories that affect local communities, and the local stories that will influence the national scene.
  • “America Tonight” will air weeknights at 8 p.m. ET beginning late April. Anchor Maritsa Georgiou will look at America’s news tonight and how it will influence American lives tomorrow with reports from Scripps News national and local correspondents.

Those five new shows follow the January announcement of three new shows focusing on politics and the economy: 

  • “The Race – Weekend” airs at 9 a.m. Saturdays on Scripps News and throughout weekend programming on Scripps’ local station footprint. Featuring correspondents from Scripps and POLITICO, the program breaks down the biggest political headlines with context, depth and independent analysis.
