Newsy offers analysis and perspective on the day’s top stories, spanning world and national news, policy, culture, science and technology.

“Cable is still the most powerful television viewing platform in the world,” said Newsy GM Blake Sabatinelli. “Partnering with Cincinnati Bell allows us to deliver our award-winning news coverage to an
audience hungry for a new perspective."
