Soledad O’Brien nationally syndicated public affairs news magazine returns this weekend with the start of a tour of seven battleground states.
Matter of Fact with Soledad O’Brien, produced by Hearst Media Production Group and distributed by Sony Pictures Television, is entering its 10th season. O’Brien will visit Nevada and Pennsylvania, and the show’s correspondents will travel to Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin.
Rita Hagen Aleman, executive producer, news and documentary development at Hearst, said in a statement, “Our presidential battleground state tour epitomizes the show’s mission to go beyond the campaign rhetoric and find out what concerns and perspectives voters say are likely to sway their votes.” The show draws more than one million weekly viewers, according to Hearst.
O’Brien has hosted Matter of Fact since 2016. The show airs at various times throughout the weekend based on each station’s schedule.
