Chris Cuomo is joining cable news network NewsNation as a primetime host after being terminated by CNN last year.

CNN suspended Cuomo, who was also a primetime host on that network, in December 2021 when New York State Attorney General Letitia James released documents showing Cuomo had a hand in helping his brother, then-Governor Andrew Cuomo, respond to sexual harassment allegations and manage media coverage of them. He was later fired, and is suing CNN for $125 million.

NewsNation (Center bias), which is owned by Nexstar, aims to provide “down-the-middle, unbiased news reporting and analysis.”  Their ratings to date have averaged just 50,000 people per night, though NewsNation has hired several former anchors from Fox News, CNN and ABC. Fox averages 2.4 million viewers per night, and MSNBC and CNN reach 1.2 million, according to Nielsen data.

The announcement of Chris Cuomo's hiring by NewsNation came at the end of an interview with NewsNation's Dan Abrams. Sources across the spectrum highlighted how Cuomo's new audience is much smaller than CNN's. Some reports from right-rated sources, such as New York Post (Lean Right bias)highlighted how Cuomo deflected sexual assault allegations against him while announcing his new job.

After a long and much-publicized interruption, Chris Cuomo wants to get after it again.

Cuomo, who made that phrase the mission statement for his 9 p.m. program on CNN, is taking his bulldog demeanor and lean-in anchoring style to NewsNation, the still-nascent news outlet backed by large station owner Nexstar Media, which has in recent months made a series of acquisitions aimed at bolstering its presence in the media sector. Cuomo will join the NewsNation primetime lineup in the fall.

Disgraced television host Chris Cuomo announced Tuesday night that he has landed a new job in the news media and that he is going to try to be fair after he was routinely criticized for being a hardcore leftist while at CNN.

“Well, you are a part of my decision. I respect that you asked the questions. I think that’s how you show respect to our relationship is that you didn’t fake the funk. You asked what needs to be asked, I respect you for that,” Cuomo groveled to anchor Dan Abrams. “I respect how you do the job. I’ve been jealous of you while I’ve been away, watching.”

Chris Cuomo has announced he’ll return to hosting a prime-time cable news show at the much smaller NewsNation network this fall after he was dismissed from CNN last year.

The announcement came at the end of an interview with Dan Abrams on NewsNation’s “Dan Abrams Live.” The hourlong interview included discussions about his ouster from CNN after he was found to have inappropriately helped his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), respond to multiple sexual harassment allegations.
