Dan Abrams To End NewsNation Show

Dan Abrams is vacating NewsNation's 9 pm hour.

The host of Dan Abrams Live announced Thursday that his nightly broadcast will end in February. His time slot successor will be named in early 2025.

"Creating this one hour of television every night takes many hours each day. I take every word, every tease, every guest, every on-screen graphic personally. There is no such thing as mailing it in for any of us, including me," Abrams declared during Thursday's broadcast. "Three years after this... really kind of unexpected opportunity, I have reached the point where it is just impossible to keep devoting the time needed for this show while also running and growing my other businesses.

"As you may know, I also host a weekend show called On Patrol: Live that follows police in real time, I host a daily radio show on Sirius XM, and I appear on ABC News as chief legal analyst," Abrams pointed out. "But [among] my on-air roles, I devote far more time to this show than anything else — and as hard as it is for me to admit, it's just not practical to do this show all week.... So, this show will wind down in early February."

Abrams assured viewers that he would remain at NewsNation in a reduced capacity, and ended with a message of gratitude for his "tireless" staff: "The hardest part of this for me will be leaving them. They are a truly talented and exceptional group, and I can't say how much I appreciate the hard work they have done to make this show one we are all so proud of."

In addition to Reelz' On Patrol: Live, his duties at ABC News and his aforementioned Sirius XM radio show, Abrams serves as CEO of Mediaite and the Law & Crime Network. He joined NewsNation upon its launch in 2021, where his 9 pm broadcast has been sandwiched between broadcasts anchored by CNN transplants Chris Cuomo and Ashleigh Banfield.
