== History ==
In the early months of 2021, after the success of Horizon News in the United States, Simon Marks, the President and CEO, wanted to expand Horizon News onto the global stage. He wanted to make Horizon News a global service, pulling the same craft of innovative journalism and high class reporting to major foreign countries and low-tier countries who were desperate for more news source options and complete information. The dream led to the formation of Horizon News Global (HNG).
Marks recognized the need for the news service that could cater to both global and local audiences. He wanted the network to provide international news while also allowing local affiliates to tailor content to their specific audience and region. This vision was realized with the launch of HNG’s three feeds: global news, national news, and regional-based news.
As HNG was being developed, Horizon, Inc. embarked on a massive hiring spree, bringing on board hundreds of talented individuals from around the world. These new hires brought a wealth of diverse perspectives and expertise to the network, enriching its content and enabling it to better serve its global audience.
The launch of regional and national channels was a key part of HNG’s expansion strategy. These channels were designed to provide more localized content, catering to the unique needs and interests of audiences in different regions and countries. This move significantly increased HNG’s reach and allowed it to provide more in-depth coverage of local issues. The global expansion and hiring had a profound impact on HNG’s operations and content. The launch of regional and national channels allowed for more in-depth coverage of local issues, while the influx of new talent led to a richer and more diverse range of content.
Since launching in 2022, HNG quickly established itself as a trusted source of news, broadcasting 24 hours a day in English and reaching multiple countries, territories, and languages via cable and satellite platforms. The network distinguished itself with its mix of original news reporting, documentaries, and current affairs programming.
In addition to its broadcast services, HNG was hubbed in the streaming service, “Horizon News Now”. This platform allowed viewers to access tailored news content from around the world via regional newscasts, country newscasts, or a global newscast.
Since its inception, HNG has continued to innovate and expand, staying true to its mission of providing accurate, timely, and relevant news to its global audience. Today, HNG is a respected name in international news coverage, known for its unique blend of global and local news and its commitment to fostering a sense of global community and shared understanding.
