Vice is to relaunch its nightly news show, “Vice News Tonight,” in a new hour-long live format on March 4 on Vice TV. Vice has named TV news veteran Nikki Egan as executive producer of the newscast, which will air live, Monday through Thursday. Prior to Vice, Egan was at MSNBC for 17 years.
Vice announced last August that “Vice News Tonight” would be moving to Vice TV (formerly known as Viceland), the basic cable network joint venture of Vice Media and A+E Networks. Its previous home, HBO, opted in June not to renew the program, which was then half hour in length and pre-taped.
Vice has also made 20 new hires in the run up to launch, including Todd Zwillich as Washington, D.C., deputy bureau chief, Emily Drew as senior broadcast producer, Jego Armstrong as senior producer, Sarah Svoboda as producer, Jana Lerner as field producer, and Jon Eiseman as director of audience development.
