The Onion News Network

The Onion News Network is the satirical parody of television news channels by the comedy newspaper The Onion. The Onion was started by two college juniors, Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson in 1988. The paper was a success in cities with major universities like Madison, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Chicago, but the creation of The Onion's website in 1996 brought it national attention. With hilarious features like the Infograph, Point- Counterpoint, the bizarre horoscopes, and American voices, the tabloid and website have been consistently hilarious for years. In 2007 they launched The Onion News Network, a web video broadcast which airs hilarious parodies of network news, with segments like Today Now!, Beyond The Facts, and Raw Justice. The show pokes fun at every kind of 24-hour news network show, from the morning lifestyle programs like Today show and Good Morning America, to election coverage, sports networks, and prime-time commentator shows. The series has become one of the most successful produced-for-web shows, and now Independent Film Channel is bringing it to your TV screen. IFC is bringing the hilarious parody broadcast to their network, and we can only expect bigger, better, and more hilarious-er things from the team at The Onion News Network MORE
