Spectrum News launched The Big Deal with Errol Louis, a new weekly half-hour political news program airing on all English-language Spectrum News networks across the country. Hosted by award-winning Spectrum News political anchor Errol Louis, The Big Deal examines the top political stories of the moment through the lens of Spectrum News’ extensive network of journalists embedded in their respective communities, giving viewers around the country a local view on what is driving politics in America.
The primetime program airs on Friday evenings, with its first episode on March 1. Airtimes will vary by network and viewers should check local listings.
“They say all politics is local, and at Spectrum News we believe that wholeheartedly,” said Sam Singal, Spectrum Networks group vice president, editorial and content. “All national issues start locally. The political anchors, journalists and reporters at our networks across the country have the insight and expertise to provide objective coverage of the issues shaping local communities through our signature storytelling and analysis. I can’t think of anyone better to lead this effort than Errol.”
Each week, The Big Deal with Errol Louis will enlist the Spectrum News’ political journalists across the country to provide boots-on-the-ground analysis from far outside the Beltway. It will mix developments from the presidential campaign trail with real-world issues motivating voters and impacting their lives. Spectrum says The Big Deal “will approach issues with thoughtful dialogue and analysis to get to the heart of a story.”
“Too much political reporting is focused on just a few national issues and political personalities,” Louis said. “We will be looking at what is really going on in American communities, outside of social media and the Beltway, and highlighting the issues impacting people’s day-to-day lives, like education, immigration, and the economy.”
In addition to anchoring political coverage across Spectrum News, Errol Louis hosts NY1’s “Inside City Hall,” a nightly primetime show that focuses on New York politics.
The show will air on Spectrum News networks across the country, as well as Spectrum News+ on the Spectrum News App for mobile, Xumo Stream Box, Roku and Apple TV streaming devices.
