Now Tonight With Joshua Johnson, premiering Monday on the streaming platform NBC News Now, will be a place where people of varying opinions can come together and, if not agree, at least see and hear one another.“We’ve got a unique lane that we’re trying to occupy on the air,” he tells The Advocate, noting that many sources of political news and commentary tend to focus on a single ideological point of view.
His show will instead be a space “where absolutely everyone is welcome,” he says.“Now Tonight is very much in the vein of 1A,” the public radio talk show he hosted for several years, where he gave airtime to people on different sides of issues.
