Chasing News with Bill Spadea (formerly Chasing New Jersey and Chasing News) was a news and talk show program broadcast by WWOR-TV, a MyNetworkTV O&O based in Secaucus, New Jersey and serving New York City, and sister to Fox flagship station WNYW. The program also aired on another Fox-owned station, WTXF-TV in Philadelphia.
Premiering on July 8, 2013, the program replaced the more conventional newscasts that were previously broadcast by the station. The program featured various segments and stories focusing on headlines and issues affecting the New Jersey area, featuring reports by a group of correspondents known as "chasers".
The program was met with mixed reception upon its premiere for its visually intensive and tabloid-like format, but was praised for how it targeted younger viewers through social engagement. However, the closure of WWOR's news department as part of the changes led to concerns from politicians over whether Fox Television Stations was still in compliance with a mandate to provide news programming for the New Jersey area until its end in June 2020.
