Fiktiv USA - NWCN

NWCN is an American cable news television channel that is owned by Tegna Inc. The channel provides 24-hour rolling news coverage focused primarily on the Pacific Northwest region of the United States (Washington, Oregon, Idaho and northwest Montana). The channel is headquartered out of the studio facilities of Tegna-owned NBC affiliate KING-TV (channel 5) at the Home Plate Center in the SoDo district of Seattle. The channel is available to 2.9 million residents (through both cable television and over-the-air) within the region, and, to a lesser extent, California, Alaska and other areas of Montana.

Some of the network's programming is carried on sister broadcast station KTVB in Boise, during the overnight hours. From August 28, 2009 to January 20, 2015, it was also aired over the air on their DT3 subchannel, as well as Cable One. It was previously on Cable One until 2003; it was re-added on February 12, 2010. On January 20, 2015, a corporate mandate where Gannett became a charter carrier of the Justice Network meant that it was replaced on KTVB-DT3.

The network incorporates news content purposed from four Tegna-owned stations in the northwestern United States – NBC-affiliated stations KING-TV in Seattle, KGW in Portland, KTVB in Boise and CBS affiliate KREM in Spokane. In addition, the channel maintains content sharing agreements with several other stations.

In addition to rolling news and weather coverage throughout the day, NWCN produces the nightly sports highlight and discussion program NorthWest Sports Tonight, and the call-in shows Gardening with Ciscoe LIVE (which airs Friday evenings) and Fone Zone (which airs shortly after Seattle Seahawks games on Sundays during the NFL season). The channel also airs rebroadcasts of sister station KING-TV's lifestyle program Evening each evening. Three other KING-TV programs, Gardening with Ciscoe (a pre-recorded program which the live NWCN program is spun off from), Northwest Backroads and The 5th Quarter Show (which airs during the NFL season), are also rebroadcast on the channel on weekends. In addition, KGW produces the Sunday evening discussion program Straight Talk. On January 6, 2017, NWCN began broadcasting in high definition.
