program is so big, the anchor believes she could do five cartwheels across if called upon to do so. Starting Monday night, the company begins the process of figuring out if such rigorous calisthenics will be necessary.
Vargas doesn’t think her program, “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” is likely to win the cable-news wars right out of the chute. Ratings for NewsNation have not been outsized compared to its competitors. But she would like a chance to step on to the field. She hasn’t been swayed by NewsNation’s audience, which so far has been small. When CNN and Fox News Channel launched, Vargas recalls, press reports often denigrated them “as the little watched Fox News and the hardly seen CNN, and those headlines were coming years after their launch. We just launched this month to a full news schedule,” she says. “I think I just need to focus on doing a great show and have faith that the audience will find us.
