NewsNation is making a change on its daily political panel program The Hill. Blake Burman will step into the role previously held by Leland Vittert as the show’s moderator.
Burman has served as NewsNation’s chief Washington correspondent since joining the network in January after spending six years in the nation’s capital working for Fox Business Network. Vittert will continue hosting On Balance with Leland Vittert at 7:00 PM ET.
“I’m thrilled to moderate The Hill, especially as we enter another consequential election cycle,” said Burman. “Our audience knows they can hear from the biggest players in politics, on both sides of the aisle, and we look forward to bringing those thoughtful conversations to our viewers.”
“Blake is an excellent discussion leader with a great understanding of how the decisions in Washington impact everyday Americans across this country,” added NewsNation Managing Editor and Senior Vice President of News and Politics Cherie Grzech. “We are thrilled to welcome him as the official moderator of a program that combines the vast resources of the network and the nation’s top political website The Hill.”
Burman will begin hosting The Hill, which airs weekdays at 5:00 PM ET, on Tuesday, September 5th.
