FOX News Launches News Briefs To Air On Fox O&Os

FOX News Media will produce a new 90-second news brief that will air on FOX’s owned-and-operated television stations, and will be available to all FOX Affiliated Stations across the country starting on Monday, February 23rd. Anchored by FOX News Channel’s (FNC) Bill Melugin, the FOX News Report will provide viewers with national and global headlines spanning breaking news, politics, sports and entertainment.

Airing daily at 5:58 PM/ET, the FOX News Report will complement the existing FOX Television Stations’ local news programming by providing timely, high-impact news coverage catching viewers up on the top national and global issues driving the day. Emanating from FOX News Media’s Washington, D.C. bureau, the cut-ins air on all 18 owned-and-operated FOX local stations, including those in nine of the top ten largest markets (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, D.C. and San Francisco). They will also be available to all FOX Affiliated Stations across the country on a daily basis.
