The News is a broadcast, mainly for viewers during primetime who may have missed the evening news on it's counterpart network, NBC, called, NBC Nightly News.

John Seigenthaler often substitutes for Brian Williams during his absence, mainly Williams' own duties as substitute for the flagship evening news program on NBC, NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw.
Later, MSNBC canceled The News, in order to make room for a new show during primetime. The News is now only on CNBC, and is the main news broadcast on CNBC. Viewership on The News suffered, following the CNBC-exclusive-only annoucement.
