::''For the consortium of non-profit investigative news organizations, see (Investigative News Network ).'' The Independent News Network (also known as INN) is a production company based in Davenport, Iowa, which syndicates "localized" news programs for broadcast television stations in the United States, that have budgets limiting their ability to produce their own local newscasts. ==Background== The Independent News Network was founded in 1999. The company's first client was Davenport Fox affiliate KLJB (channel 18); INN produced a half-hour primetime newscast for that station, titled the ''Fox 18 Nine O'Clock News'', which ran from 1999 until the station entered into a news share agreement with crosstown ABC affiliate WQAD-TV in September 2010. In addition to producing local newscasts, INN also produces ''HNN or Hispanic News Network'' and ''INN News'' for syndication to smaller television stations with limited or no money budgeted for news. Until the beginning of 2009, INN was owned by the Regional News Network Co. of Davenport, Iowa. Regional News Network filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on December 31, 2008. INN was taken over in early January 2009 by LMG, Inc., part of Fusion Communications, also of Davenport, Iowa. In the transfer, INN laid off 12 of its staff of 40,〔 and kept its client stations except for WPGA-TV in Macon, Georgia.〔 〕 INN's staff was further cut to 14 in June 2013 as more client stations left the service.〔(Davenport-based News Network reduces staff ) Dispatch-Argus, June 3, 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Independent News Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
