** '''Creator/BlackNewsChannel''', a general news channel aimed at an African American audience.

** '''Texas Cable News''', a UsefulNotes/{{Dallas}}-based network owned by Belo (and then Gannett/TEGNA), using their statewide chain of TV stations: ex-Belo flagship WFAA in Dallas, KHOU in Houston, KENS in San Antonio and KVUE in Austin; didn't do well (mainly because of their split with Time Warner Cable over joint stations launched in Houston and San Antonio which shut down quickly), as well as budget problems; they stopped original production in 2005, and they mainly repackaged stuff from the Belo/Gannett/TEGNA stations for its' last few years. The network was finally put out of its' misery in April 2015.

** '''CBSN Local''', a set of spinoffs of the above-mentioned CBSN. Based out of CBS' owned-and-operated stations, they use the originating station's anchors and reporters. Beginning with CBS' flagship WCBS-2 in New York, CBSN Local has gradually launched across the O&Os; as of this writing (June 2020), only the CBS stations in Baltimore (WJZ), Miami (WFOR) and Sacramento (KOVR) currently lack a localized CBSN. Just like the national CBSN, the localized [=CBSNs=] are not available through traditional means, only via online, apps, and Creator/PlutoTV. (If needed, the national CBSN feed can simulcast the local variants.)

** '''Creator/TheBlaze''', a news channel owned by Conservative media mogul Radio/GlennBeck and thereby a decidedly conservative-leaning network.

** '''Current TV''' (now defunct), formerly known as [=INdTV=], was a news network targeted at younger, college-aged viewers and specialized in viewer-generated content. It has spinoffs in the UK and Ireland, Italy, and Canada. It was partially owned by UsefulNotes/AlGore and Joel Hyatt. It has a decidedly left-wing perspective, often going well beyond MSNBC's liberal slant. In 2009, two of their journalists were briefly detained by the North Korean government. They snagged [[Series/CountdownWithKeithOlbermann Keith Olbermann]] as Chief News Officer following his departure from MSNBC -- then unsnagged him 13 months later after a series of contractual and other disputes. Was purchased by Al Jazeera in order to launch Al Jazeera America.

*** '''Free Speech TV''' and '''Link TV''', which both follow a similar approach to Current TV. Free Speech TV is geared toward radical leftist politics while Link TV focuses on cultural programming and world events.
*** The defunct '''Newsworld International''', which was owned by the Creator/{{CBC}} for the first few years of its life (it took its name from CBC Newsworld) and later by the USA Network (which at the time was owned by Vivendi Universal). It broadcasted a mix of Canadian and international newscasts. Was bought by Al Gore and Joel Hyatt in 2004, and turned into Current TV the following year; the sale coincided with the sale of Vivendi Universal Entertainment to NBC.

** '''CBSN''' is [[Creator/{{CBS}} CBS News]]'s 24-hour news network that, along with producing their own content, airs pieces from other CBS News programs and CBS affiliates. Unlike their counterparts, CBSN can only be watched online or on mobile and streaming devices using the CBS News app.

** '''Chicagoland Television''': Better known as CLTV, it's a 24-hour regional cable news television channel based in Chicago and owned by Tribune Media (hence it is based in the studios of WGN-TV).

* '''[=CablePulse=] 24''' ([=CP24=]), a regional cable news channel serving Toronto and Southern Ontario. Hosts a large number of call-in shows and live newscasts throughout the day. Owned by Bell Media.

* '''[[Creator/TheBBC BBC]] News Channel''', formerly known as BBC News 24. Features a RedButtonInteractive service.

* '''Euronews''', a pan-European news network. It broadcasts the same reports simultaneously in several languages (differing by location and [[RedButtonInteractive satellite system]]). It basically just runs bulletin-type stories, just like pre-[[NetworkDecay decay]] Creator/{{HLN}}, and given that it has to run in several languages simultaneously, there are no presenters and reports take the form of "footage + voiceover" with occasional quotes from whoever the story is about.

* '''RT''' (or Creator/RussiaToday) is Russia's external service, available in English, Arabic, Spanish, and Russian. Distinctively shares the Putin perspective on US foreign policy, and is known for its coverage and interviews of [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic fringe]] [[ConspiracyTheorist figures]] within American politics. During the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia, the anchors repeatedly mocked the Georgian President on-air.

* '''Creator/Press TV''': An English-language news network backed by the Iranian government. It takes a stridently anti-Israeli position and has openly promoted Holocaust denial. Current TV home of British MP George Galloway. This news station is only respected by people who love to wear TinfoilHat. Banned from British carriers due to content violations.

** '''[[Creator/RussiaToday RT America]]''' is the American version of the Russian external broadcaster RT (formerly Russia Today), an English-language network operated by the [[UsefulNotes/{{Russia}} Russian]] government. It primarily airs programming produced in their American studios, but does show hourly headlines and some other news coverage from the main RT English feed. Considered a PropagandaMachine for Vladimir Putin by most, yet viewed as a VoiceOfTheResistance by its target audience of conspiracy theorists.

*** '''[[Creator/AlJazeera Al Jazeera America]]''' (now defunct), was an American-focused network operated by the Qatari news network Al Jazeera. Most of the programming is American-made and focused on events and people in the United States, with the remainder consisting of programs rebroadcast from the main Al Jazeera English channel. In April 2016, after three years of low ratings despite millions of dollars of investment and critical acclaim for their journalism standards, Al Jazeera America was shut down. Afterwards, more focus was placed on AJ+, which creates stories for distribution on Facebook.

** There are also Arabic- and Persian-language versions of '''BBC News'''. Both are very well-respected for hard-hitting, no-nonsense journalism and excellent discussion programs, except by {{Conspiracy Theorist}}s who see them as creeping Western influence/the return of UsefulNotes/TheBritishEmpire.
** The Arabic version of '''Russia Today''' (see above) is popular with anti-West viewers. However, its interviews tend to be slightly better-regarded than the English version. (It helps that their interviewers, while Russian, speak Arabic quite well.)
** The Arabic version of '''France 24''' is most popular in the former French colonies of the Maghreb (Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco). It's considered fairly inoffensive, except to the conspiracy theorists (who see it as the return of UsefulNotes/TheFrenchColonialEmpire).

** '''Fox Business Network''', [[UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch News Corp's]] answer to CNBC. Like its competition, it indulges in the occasional bit of punditry. [[NetworkDecay Don Imus]] also appears to have landed here.

* '''France 24''', an external service news channel that broadcasts in native French, in addition to English and Arabic.

* '''{{ITV}} News''', until it closed down in 2006.

* '''Times Now''', India's largest English-language news network, having recently outpaced NDTV 24x7. Owned by The Times Group (which publishes the ''The Times of India'' newspaper). It's an almost exact copy (Indianised, naturally) of FoxNewsChannel. Right down to having a Bill O'Reilly expy named Arnab Goswami (who has been endlessly parodied by practically everyone, with his [[MemeticMutation memetic]] CatchPhrase "THE NATION WANTS TO KNOW!!" ). Said anchor eventually left the network to [[StartMyOwn start his own]] news channel called Republic TV. And much like Fox News, Times Now has a decidedly Right-wing slant to almost all of its reporting.

** '''[=ESPNews=]''', the former 24-hour version of {{ESPN}}'s ''SportsCenter'', but budget cutbacks eventually cut it to "''Sportscenter'' when the ESPN's can't carry it", along with repeats of sports talk shows.

* '''[[TheABC ABC]] News 24''',

* New Delhi Television (NDTV) operates the following three news channels:
** '''NDTV 24x7''', widely considered India's most respected English-language news network.
** '''NDTV India''', a Hindi-language news network.
** '''NDTV Profit''', a financial news network.
* '''Aaj Tak''', a Hindi-language news network. Its name translates as "Till Today" or "Up to the Minute". A 2006 poll voted it the most trusted source of news in India.
* '''India TV''', a Hindi-language news network. Most of its time is spent defending its journalistic integrity against accusations of sensationalism and lack of ethics. For example, during the 2008 Mumbai attacks, it interviewed two of the terrorists.
* '''Times Now''', India's largest English-language news network, having recently outpaced NDTV 24x7. Owned by ''The Times of India''.
* '''Zee News''', a Hindi-language news network.

** '''Creator/{{CNN}}''', the first 24-hour news network. Is typically viewed as the more centrist/moderate of the major American news networks, although naturally, both sides have accused it of bias. Has several spinoff networks, which are listed on its page.

** '''[=ESPNews=]''', the 24-hour version of {{ESPN}}'s ''SportsCenter''.

** '''Northwest Cable News''', a UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}}-based network which covers Washington State, Oregon and Idaho. Owned by King Broadcasting when it launched in 1995, using their stations in Seattle, Spokane, Boise, and Portland to supply the channel; then Belo Corp. acquired them in 1997; 2014 had them acquired by Gannett (which acquired Belo in the last few months of 2013), which then spun off their TV assets as TEGNA in 2015.

* '''Milenio Televisión''', a Mexican news channel that appeared in Monterrey, Nuevo León. It's the television offshoot of the Milenio newspaper, and it has the same news format as [=CNN=].

** '''[[Creator/AlJazeera Al Jazeera America]]''' is an American-focused network operated by the Qatari news network Al Jazeera. Most of the programming is American-made and focused on events and people in the United States, with the remainder consisting of programs rebroadcast from the main Al Jazeera English channel.
