Nexstar Digital Launches The Hill TV Streaming Channel on Plex

The Hill brings its trusted, credible, and non-partisan political coverage to the growing OTT marketplace

The Hill, America’s premier source for political and policy news, has launched a streaming channel, marking its first foray into OTT (Over The Top). The Hill is part of Nexstar Digital, the digital business of Nexstar Media Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXST), the largest local broadcaster in the U.S. with 200 owned or partner stations in 116 U.S. markets. The launch of The Hill TV builds upon The Hill’s success as an essential, agenda-setting read for lawmakers, policymakers and influential digital consumers from Capitol Hill to Main Street.

The Hill TV programming line-up includes:

  • Signature shows including Rising, The Hill’s groundbreaking morning program
  • Extended exclusives and interviews with lawmakers, policy influencers, and business leaders about hot-button issues and pending legislation
  • Summits and policy roundtables from The Hill’s 70+ thought leadership events per year, convening expert voices on the biggest challenges facing our country
  • Thematic series such as Changing America, which uniquely explores timely topics including respect, sustainability, resilience, and well-being
  • Local political programs, including highlights from Sunday talk shows produced by Nexstar stations in top markets

The Hill’s objective is to bring free, trusted, and non-biased information about politics and policy to more Americans,” explained Jason Jedlinski, General Manager of The Hill. “In a time of increasing polarization and diminishing trust in media, we’re proud to provide a clear alternative for news and information to viewers, and a powerful opportunity to advertisers.”

The Hill TV recently debuted on global streaming platform Plex. Viewers can watch The Hill TV by downloading the Plex app here or watch now in a web browser here.
