The network plans to expand its regional offering across India and is soon coming with two more regional news channel News State (Bihar & Jharkhand) and News State (Maharashtra & Goa).

News Nation: Since its launch in Feb 2013, News Nation has surpassed long-established Hindi news channels and has cemented its position among the top channels of the Hindi News genre.

News State Uttar Pradesh/Uttarakhand: News State Uttar Pradesh/Uttarakhand is News Nation Network's first regional Hindi News Channel. It has the largest network of reporters and covers hyper-local news from all 88 districts of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, besides covering major stories from major cities and towns.

Since its launch, it surpassed many established regional and is amongst the Top regional Hindi News channels of Madhya Pradesh & Chhattisgarh as per BARC Ratings.

In September 2022, journalist Anil Yadav resigned from the channel saying that there is pressure from the Uttar Pradesh government to cover up government scams, to run shows which have a "Hindu-Muslim agenda" and criticize only the politicians of other parties. He further alleged that the channel gets Rs 17-18 crore a year from the government and that's why News Nation can't report against the BJP.

In November 2022, News Nation created a channel called News State Maharashtra Goa which was a Free To Air (FTA) Marathi News Channel for the audience of Maharashtra and Goa. It was shut down after 1 year of airing i.e on November 2023 due to less increment in TRP.
