Overview
- NBC announced on Thursday, July 30, 2026 that “Current With Christine Romans” will premiere Monday, August 3, 2026 and air weekdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. ET on NBC News Now.
- Christine Romans, NBC News' chief business correspondent who joined the network in October 2023 after two decades at CNN, will anchor the two-hour program.
- The show will focus on breaking news, politics, global affairs and the economy as markets open, with regular reporting on finance, business, technology and artificial intelligence.
- “Current” will launch a recurring franchise called “50 States in 50 Days” that partners with NBC-owned stations and affiliates to surface local stories with national relevance, including planned reports on Cleveland’s foster care system, Iowa data centers, a Washington community kitchen and Connecticut’s housing market.
- NBC frames the launch as part of a broader streaming push after NBC News Now posted its best year in 2025, a move that could expand live daytime streaming hours and give local stations a bigger national platform.
