The crowded nightly news space will be getting one more participant. 

VICE Media has announced that they would be airing a daily news program on HBO later this year. VICE already has an award winning series on the network, but this new show, which will be called “Vice News Tonight,” has been described by VICE executives as a way  to make broadcast news more appealing to young viewers.
