Raising America with Kyra Phillips Premieres Monday, Feb. 4 on HLN
Live two-hour weekday show to cover day’s top news
stories through a parental lens
Launching Monday, Feb. 4, HLN anchor Kyra Phillips hosts a two-hour daily
show that covers the nation’s major news stories and explores their impact on
American families. Raising America with Kyra Phillips examines topical
issues that relate to home, children and today’s modern families, and draws
viewer engagement through social media and interactive online posts.
As it covers the daily news
scene, Raising America will go deeper on topics that hit home for
parents, including childhood obesity, safety in our schools and teens
oversharing on social media to their future detriment. Contributors to the
program include some of the most intriguing and popular bloggers speaking to
parents today, such as Heather Armstrong, Charlie Capen, Jill Smokler, Tom
Matlack and Krystel Spell, among many others.
Raising America with Kyra
Phillips airs on HLN weekdays
from noon to 2p.m. (ET).
“This show is the perfect
intersection of my professional and personal lives,” said Phillips. “Never
before have I been both a journalist and a mother in the chair at the same time
and I am looking forward to the discussions from the community we are building
around this show. It’s such an important and dynamic time in American history
and we want to capture that.”
“Kyra Phillips’ award-winning
reporting has always taken you to the frontlines of the news,” said Scot Safon,
HLN GM and EVP. “And she approaches her reporting with a mix of fearlessness,
intelligence and curiosity. These are the same qualities you need to take on
parenting in America
these days. Kyra and the Raising America team will focus, spotlight and
advance the conversation that parents are having about the news every day.”
The Raising America with
Kyra Phillips digital site, officially launching with the show, will be the
connection point for the news and information being discussed each day on the
show. The site is the newest section of HLNtv.com, HLN’s
fast-growing digital home.

Kyra Phillips may do very well as a
show host.
She has spunk and spirit and is smart.
If it doesn't work out on HLN, someone else will pick her up.
Good to see someone who really has the talent to do a talk show...talk.
Watching "Raising America" and am glued to the TV, the set is amazing! Yes, I know that may be a strange comment, but in my eye the set makes the show and Kyra keeps it warm and close to the heart, she's perfect for the show, she is a natural in the business. Congratulations on a great show!
