National news refers to news stories that are national in scope or have a nationwide impact. News organizations often use a combination of local and national coverage in their reporting to appeal to a wider audience. Local and national news can overlap in many cases, especially in the case of social media, where a single event can gain wide visibility quickly. In such cases, it is important for viewers to understand the context of a story and how it relates to them personally.
Some of the largest news networks in the world are national in scope, including Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC. Other major networks that have national reach include the BBC, the NBC News, and CBS News. In addition, there are a number of regional and international news channels that have national audiences, such as the BBC World Service and Al Jazeera English.
Among regional and international channels, i24NEWS is an American-based network that is owned by Altice USA. The channel is an offshoot of the Israeli news agency i24 and features several well known American TV personalities. It is available through cable and satellite systems and online.
There are a number of specialty networks that focus on specific topics. For example, the Rural Free Delivery Television (RFD-TV) is a nationwide news channel that focuses on agricultural commodities and is carried by a number of satellite and cable providers. It also produces several outside-produced newscasts, such as the U.S. Farm Report and AgDay, as well as a five-hour rolling news coverage block.
