Nexstar Media Group has announced that Bill Sammon has been tabbed to serve as the Senior Vice President of Washington DC Editorial Content for The Hill and NewsNation.
Sammon joins the company after previously working as the Managing editor and Senior Vice President of News at Fox News where he was based in the nation’s capital. During his tenure at Fox News, Sammon oversaw the network’s productions of presidential debates and its decision desk.

“I’m grateful for the chance to work with Nexstar’s incredible team of outstanding journalists,” said Sammon. “Last week they accurately informed the world who would win the presidency, and this week did the same with the House of Representatives—before any other news outlet—demonstrating yet again, Nexstar’s unwavering commitment to accurate, quality journalism.”
“We are excited to have Bill on board,” said NewsNation President of News and Politics Cherie Grzech. “Bill’s impeccable credentials as a journalist are renowned, and he is the perfect leader to oversee the combined newsgathering operations of The Hill and NewsNation in Washington, D.C. Bill will be a tremendous addition to our team.”
