Shepard Smith Reporting is an American news/talk television program on the Fox News Channel that debuted in October 2013, and is hosted by Shepard Smith.
Broadcast live at 3:00 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, the program continues coverage of stories followed during prior hours of Fox News programs. The show often takes a swifter pace compared to the network's other programming, making a larger focus of the program on breaking-news events with live correspondents. The coverage includes correspondents on location, in studio, in addition to analysis from pundits or experts. Harris Faulkner, Gregg Jarrett, Jon Scott, or Bill Hemmer will fill in on days when Smith is absent.
Prior to the program's relaunch on April 23, 2007, and to a larger extent summer 2007, Studio B was commonly seen as more laid-back, including a short segment of smalltalk after the bottom-of-the-hour headlines between Smith and Jane Skinner commonly about soft news or irrelevant stories of the day. The segment was known as "Skinnerville."
The program's relaunch included the conclusion of the weekend edition of Studio B, hosted by Trace Gallagher, which was started in February 2006. Studio B replaced the 3-4 p.m. hour of Fox News Live (also hosted by Smith) in 2002, and the weekend hour of Fox News Live in 2005. The weekend editions were discontinued in May 2007, when the 3-4 p.m. (ET) timeslot was replaced by reruns of War Stories with Oliver North, or other taped programming. Trace Gallagher hosted Studio B as a fill-in anchor whenever Smith was absent.
Also in 2007, Smith revealed that the program would soon get a more expansive overhaul, which may include name and format changes. This is partly because FNC's physical Studio B is no longer available for the network's use. On December 14, 2008, Studio B moved to Studio 12H, the set used by the Fox Report due to its move to the high definition Election Night set used by Fox.
