NBC News Quietly Debuts Ad-Supported Streaming News Network

The service's offerings are limited now—but will evolve to a 24/7 format

Back in March, NBC News chairman Andy Lack told reporters that his company was “exploring a separate linear stream for NBC News.” Now he’s found one, as the company has unveiled its new streaming news network, NBC News Signal.

The ad-supported streaming service quietly launched on Thursday, Oct. 11, with an evening program hosted by Simone Boyce. The program will air each Thursday for now, but will become a nightly show later this year.

Boyce’s program, which doesn’t yet have a name, is one of three daily shows that will appear, eventually, on Signal.
