Fox News Channel Revamps Weekend Show Line-Up

Fox News Channel has announced a significant revamp of its weekend programming lineup,  effective starting Saturday, September 20, 2025. 

The changes, overseen by FOX News Media President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace, aim to expand news and opinion coverage, elevate rising stars, and innovate the schedule while ending the long-running media analysis show MediaBuzz.

Wallace described the updates as bringing "unrivaled depth and expertise" to reinforce Fox News' leadership in cable news. This follows earlier 2025 adjustments, such as the January expansions of The Fox Report and The Big Weekend Show to two hours each, and the February launch of My View with Lara Trump on Saturdays at 9-10 PM ET.

Key changes include new shows, host promotions, and program expansions:

New Programs and Host Changes Saturday in America with Kayleigh McEnany: Former Trump White House Press Secretary and current Outnumbered co-host Kayleigh McEnany will launch a new two-hour show airing Saturdays from 10 AM to 12 PM ET. The program will focus on news, politics, and opinion, leveraging McEnany's background in communications and her role as a network contributor since 2021.

Fox & Friends Weekend: National correspondent and Fox News Live co-anchor Griff Jenkins will join as a permanent third co-host alongside Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Hurt (who replaced Will Cain in January 2025). The show, which airs Saturday and Sunday mornings from 6-10 AM ET, will continue to cover news, entertainment, politics, and sports.

The Big Weekend Show: The ensemble panel discussion program will expand to three hours, airing Saturdays and Sundays from 5-8 PM ET. Johnny "Joey" Jones (a Fox News contributor and Marine veteran) and Tomi Lahren (a Fox Nation host since 2017) will join as permanent co-hosts, bringing the total to four rotating panelists discussing the week's top stories.

Cancellations and Transitions: After more than a decade on air, Howie Kurtz's Sunday morning Media Buzz show (11 AM-12 PM ET) will end. Kurtz, who joined Fox in 2013 from CNN, will transition to a political media analyst role, continuing to host the Media Buzzmeter podcast and contributing to Fox News Digital.

Impact on Other Weekend ShowsFox News Sunday (Sundays at 9-10:30 AM ET), anchored by Shannon Bream, remains unchanged in the announcements. Earlier 2025 additions like My View with Lara Trump (Saturdays 9-10 PM ET, premiered February 22) continue unaffected.

The January expansions: The Fox Report (anchored by Jon Scott, now 3-5 PM ET on weekends) and The Big Weekend Show (previously 6-8 PM ET)—have been further built upon with the new three-hour block. These shifts position more internal talent in prominent roles and emphasize extended coverage during high-engagement weekend slots. 

Fox News, already the top-rated cable news network, anticipates these changes will maintain its dominance in viewership, particularly amid ongoing political cycles.
