Correspondent Stephanie Sy posts that the PBS News Hour West bureau in Phoenix has signed off as of December 2025:
"In the face of budget realities, the NewsHour West bureau is closing today. Some of us are staying with NewsHour, but other positions were sadly eliminated. Since late 2019, the West bureau has provided dozens of PBS stations with an updated version of the news summary contained in every night’s program. Without the 24-7 staffing available to larger commercial networks, it was our way of making sure our stations in the Western time zones had the most up to date news at 6 pm pt when our NewsHour DC folks had already finished their day."
