The Fox Report is an American evening television news program on Fox News Channel, which debuted on September 13, 1999 as a seven-night-a-week broadcast with Shepard Smith as main anchor of the program until it was relegated to weekends only after the October 4, 2013 broadcast. Since 2014, the program has been anchored by Julie Banderas on Saturdays and Harris Faulkner on Sundays. The Fox Report is executive produced by FNC executive producer of news, Jay Wallace.
The Fox Report is broadcast live on Saturday and Sunday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and replayed at 3:00 a.m. Eastern on both nights. On occasion, the Fox Report will air in place of a program that Fox News Channel normally re-airs within its late-night schedule (such as Hannity or On the Record) when said program was pre-empted in its regular evening slot due to breaking news coverage.
The program is described as Fox News Channel's "newscast of record" and utilizes a similar story length and pacing as competing evening news programs aired by the Big Three broadcast television networks (ABC World News Tonight, the CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News). It is the highest-rated newscast among the United States cable news channels, averaging about 1.5 million viewers per broadcast – far less than even the lowest-rated broadcast network newscast (CBS at 6.5 million).
The program features Fox News correspondents and guests analyzing issues in shorter-form segments, which typically run no more than three or four minutes per story. Up to 70 stories are covered within each broadcast. The program eschews the use of "talking heads", and focuses on field reporting and comments from individuals directly involved in the story. One common feature is "Around the World in 80 Seconds" (a play on the Jules Verne novel Around the World in Eighty Days), a segment taking a quick look at interesting stories from around the world. "Across America" is a similarly formatted segment – albeit not subject to time restrictions – which features human interest stories culled from local newscasts seen on affiliates of the Fox broadcast network.
