The Source News Network

The Source News Network (mainly known just as The Source) is an American news channel owned by RavCom. Operated out of the WBMY-TV studio in Baltimore, MD, it covers politics and news on local, state, national and international levels.
==History & Information==
The channel was launched on June 3, 2023. This network replaced the former (failed) network, Barrett News Network.
The Source News Network has plans to expand beyond the United States, and begin broadcasting to local channels in Canada and Mexico.
==Programming==
The Source News broadcasts newscasts from 6:30am to 7:00am every morning, as well as 6:30pm to 7:00pm every evening. The broadcasts cover news from around the United States, as well as from around the world. It also provides political opinions from the entire spectrum, ranging from radical left and right to neutral positions, as they bring in political figures and commentators. The entire service itself does lean more towards a conservative view, yet believes in full coverage that is non-biased and covers all sides of the story.
News can be seen in the mornings and evenings on all stations owned by RavCom West, RavCom East and Burns Communications. The Source 24/7 can be seen on every second subchannel of any station owned by those three television groups.

The Source Network began their introduction of affiliation deals for stations owned and operated by RavCom-owned broadcast groups in October 2022. In June 2024, The Source started allowing stations owned by any broadcast group to sign an affiliation deal with the network.
