On the Record is an American news television program hosted by lawyer Greta Van Susteren on the Fox News Channel. Prior to the show's cancellation after the 2016 election, the show was hosted by television journalist and political commentator, Brit Hume, following Van Susteren's departure from Fox News on September 6, 2016. The show was named On the Record with Greta Van Susteren and On the Record with Brit Hume during each host's respective runs.
The program featured news stories of the day, following the latest information from correspondents on location and officials related to the issue. Like most networks, the program also consisted of analysis from legal analysts of the network and the host on the stories it was following. Additionally, the program also derailed from criminal stories to follow breaking news of the day, as do other programs on the network.
From its debut in February 2002 until October 4, 2013, the program broadcast live out of Fox News's Washington studio each weekday at 10:00 p.m. ET and replayed at 1:00 a.m. ET. On October 7, 2013, the show began airing weekdays at 7:00 p.m. ET, replacing the weeknight editions of the Fox Report.
On September 6, 2016, Greta Van Susteren announced that she would be leaving Fox News. Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume was named as the interim host of the show for the rest of the 2016 election cycle. The program aired its final episode, with Hume as host, on Election Eve, November 7, 2016. On Thursday and Friday to finish out the week, On the Record was hosted by two final guest hosts, Martha MacCallum and Ed Henry, with Friday, November 11, 2016 being the last On the Record. The vacated 7pm time slot was replaced on November 14, 2016 by a new Fox News show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, hosted by former Fox and Friends Weekend host, Tucker Carlson, which on January 9, 2017, has since been moved to the 9pm time slot following the departure of Megyn Kelly from Fox News Channel to NBC News, thus ending her FNC show, The Kelly File.
