The PBS NewsHour is an American daily evening television news program that is broadcast on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), airing seven nights a week on more than 350 of the public broadcaster's member stations. As the nation's first hour-long nightly news broadcast, the program is known for its in-depth coverage of issues and current events.

From August 2013 to October 2016, the program's weekday broadcasts—which run one hour in length and are produced by Washington, D.C. member station WETA-TV—had been co-anchored by Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff. Throughout their tenure, Ifill and Woodruff were the first and only all-female anchor team of a national nightly news program on broadcast television. Since its launch in September of that same year, the Saturday and Sunday editions of the program (titled as PBS NewsHour Weekend) – which runs for 30 minutes and are produced by New York City PBS member station WNET – had been anchored by Hari Sreenivasan.

The PBS NewsHour originates from WETA's studios in Arlington County, Virginia with additional facilities in San Francisco and Denver. It is a collaboration between WNET, WETA-TV, and fellow PBS member television stations KQED in San Francisco, KETC in St. Louis and WTTW in Chicago. The NewsHour Weekend is produced at the Tisch WNET studios on Lincoln Center, New York.
