All News Channel (ANC) was an American satellite television news channel and broadcast syndication service operated as a joint venture between Viacom and CONUS Communications, itself a division of Hubbard Broadcasting. Launched on November 30, 1989 and operating until September 30, 2002, its format consisted of half-hourly rotating newscasts presented in a rolling news wheel schedule, incorporating story packages gathered from in-house reporting staffs and sourced from local television stations that maintained agreements with CONUS to supply content for the cooperative satellite news video-sharing service.
ANC primarily syndicated its news programming in blocks of varying length, determined by each carrier station, to local television stations across the United States. The channel was also offered to pay television providers across the country from its inception, though beginning in 1994, it was carried mainly by direct-broadcast satellite providers United States Satellite Broadcasting (USSB) and, after its 1999 acquisition of USSB from Hubbard, DirecTV. All News Channel was headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota at the studios of Hubbard's flagship television and radio stations, including KSTP-TV (channel 5), the ABC affiliate for the Minneapolis–St. Paul market.
