News Channel Nebraska (NCN) is an independent, in-state network of commercial radio and television stations in the U.S. state of Nebraska and Sioux City. It is operated by Flood Communications LLC, which is owned by attorney, businessman and former Nebraska Speaker of the Legislature Mike Flood. The television stations are all members of the NCN network.

History

News Channel Nebraska was founded in 2015 at Norfolk, Nebraska. In 2017, Flood Communications announced the addition of Spanish-language network Telemundo, also called Telemundo Nebraska.

Programming

News Channel Nebraska primarily focuses on rolling news coverage similar to the original CNN Headline News. Newscasts air every hour and focus primarily on rural Nebraska stories with some coverage of the two major cities, Lincoln and Omaha, and weather forecasts every 10 minutes including former WTNH-TV meteorologist Geoff Fox broadcasting from his home studio in Irvine, California.[1] The network also includes extensive coverage of high school and small college sports with two broadcast trucks covering rural football and basketball games.[2] There is a "north" and "south" feed which show different sports programs, with the other feed's game rebroadcast on delay. High school sports programming requires a subscription when viewed online.[3]
