The @NewsHour set record-breaking viewership during the political conventions -- nearly 19 million viewers on YouTube, totaling more than 40 million views. That's on top of the roughly 2 million nightly broadcast viewers.

A huge thanks to our loyal audience for the support.

Tonight, we're marking a major transition at the NewsHour.

Russ Clarkson, who has led our news team for nearly 25 years, is retiring.

His wisdom and experience have been invaluable, and his presence will be deeply missed.
