H Channel News

H Channel News is a brand of newscasts aired on H Channel. It is produced by Newsfix, which, like H Channel, is owned by Lake Hill Broadcasting. Newsfix operates as the national news department for the group.
== History ==
When H Channel launched in early 2021, Newsfix provided news programming for the newly fledged network via a simulcast of the news network. It also produced the morning newscast, which aired at 9am weekdays.
On July 14th, 2021, Lake Hill announced that it would be restructuring H Channel's programming as a result of low ratings and only 2 stations carrying the network, with its new schedule resembling that of a digital subchannel network. (removing the initial flexibility Lake Hill promised to potential affiliates) In the process, Lake Hill announced that Newsfix would start to produce newscasts for the channel, instead of the simulcasts of Newsfix. They would be produced at Lake Hill's Newsfix Local Productions studio in Indianapolis, Indiana, primarily due to it having vacant studios available. Alongside that move, Lake Hill opened up a national news bureau at the facility, which has the primary responsibility of compiling reports for H Channel's Newscast, with them contributing to Newsfix and sending stories to Lake Hill's stations.
