Anchor Chris Cuomo agreed to a new multiyear contract with NewsNation on Monday.
Cuomo will continue to host his weeknight show, CUOMO, at 8 p.m. Eastern. The network reported the program increased total viewership by 54% and increased by 28% among adults 25-54.
“Of course I am staying,” Cuomo said in a statement. “Where else but NewsNation can you expose the game instead of being forced to play? Let’s get after it!”
Sean Compton, President of Nexstar’s Networks Division, said: “Chris is a one-of-a-kind talent whose unrivaled analysis and commentary has helped grow the audience at NewsNation and strengthen our brand.”
He added: “He believes strongly in NewsNation’s mission of delivering ‘News for All Americans’ and we are extremely pleased that he will remain a staple of the network’s primetime lineup.”
Previously, Cuomo worked for CNN. He left under allegations that he used his media contacts to find those people accusing his brother, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, of sexual harassment. Chris Cuomo avoided confirming the allegation in a recent interview.

“Other than worry, regret and living in the past is very poisonous because you can’t change it,” Cuomo recently told People.
Two weeks before Election Day, Cuomo moderated a town hall on Thursday on behalf of Vice President-elect J.D. Vance. Cuomo has a long reputation for working in the news, covering many presidential cycles.
