LAS VEGAS, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Las Vegas Review-Journal is proud to announce a partnership with FOX-owned television stations for a daily political series leading up to the November 2024 presidential election. Hosted by nationally known journalist S.E. Cupp, "Battleground" delves into the pivotal role of swing states in determining the next president. With FOX-owned television stations strategically located in six of the seven key swing states — Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia — this project offers daily comprehensive coverage and in-depth analysis. Additional partnerships include unaffiliated stations and news outlets throughout swing states, feature WCCB in Charlotte, and participants from Gannett and McClatchy news media groups, giving nearly half the country access to the program.
Stephen Brown, executive vice president of programming and development for FOX stations and FOX First Run, stated, "'Battleground' is unique in that this digital-first initiative relies on the contributions of our affiliate stations and newspapers to create a comprehensive view of the voters in the seven swing states and the issues that affect them. This race, which has seen more twists and turns than any reality show, promises to be a nailbiter 'til the very end. 'Battleground' will be there every step of the way, with detailed analysis and a clear grasp on statewide sentiment."
Jim Prather, vice president of digital strategy for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, added, "We are excited to partner with FOX-owned stations to bring our readers and viewers unparalleled coverage of the presidential election.
