Newshub (stylised as Newshub.) is a New Zealand news service that airs on the television channel Three, and on digital platforms. It also operated on radio stations run by MediaWorks Radio until December 2021.

The Newshub brand replaced 3 News service on the TV3 network and the Radio Live news service broadcast on MediaWorks Radio stations on 1 February 2016.[1][2] MediaWorks sold Newshub to US multimedia company Discovery, Inc. (now Warner Bros. Discovery),[3][4][5] with the acquisition completed on 1 December 2020.

On 28 February 2024, it was announced that Newshub would shut down on 30 June.[6][7] On 10 April 2024, the closure was confirmed by Warner Bros. Discovery, with Newshub winding down on 5 July 2024.[8]
