History

Defense News was founded as a weekly newspaper by Army Times Publishing Company. ATPCO was sold in 1997 to Gannett Company[2] (later renamed TEGNA), which sold it to Los Angeles–based private equity firm Regent in 2016, which renamed it Sightline Media Group.[3] [4] [5] [6]

Television

Defense News has a weekly television show about international defense and military issues. It first aired March 2, 2008, as This Week in Defense News with Vago Muradian on WUSA 9, a Washington, D.C., CBS affiliate. It later aired on ABC 7 WJLA and the Armed Forces Network.[7] In April 2017, the show relaunched on WETA-TV as Defense News Weekly[8] [9] with two co-hosts: Jill Aitoro, Defense News executive editor; and Tony Lombardo, executive editor of Military Times, another Sightline brand. In September 2017, Jeff Martin, a former TV reporter from Alabama, took over hosting and producing duties. The show later moved off WETA to AFN and various online platforms.
