Fox News Sunday is a Sunday morning talk show that has aired on the broadcast Fox network since 1996, as a presentation of Fox News Channel. It is the only regularly scheduled Fox News program carried on the main Fox broadcast network. Hosted by Shannon Bream since 2022, the show features interviews with some of the biggest newsmakers in politics from the previous week and "takes on the week's hot political topics", in addition to panel discussions with other Fox contributors and a "power player of the week", which typically is a non-political "feel good" story to end the program.

Overview

The program began on April 28, 1996, 5 1/2 months prior to the launch of the network's sister cable news network Fox News Channel. Because Fox News was still building out its studio facilities, it aired during at that time from historic Washington venues until Fox News Channel launched and the news operation's Washington bureau was opened. The show was the first network news show to stream live on the Internet. The show was also the first to incorporate live user commentary. Users posted on an Internet BBS and the Internet Producer moderated by choosing and posting the comments in the screen's lower third. The show airs live at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, although many Fox stations can choose to broadcast it at a later time slot. The program is also rebroadcast on Fox News Channel the same day at 2:00 p.m ET and 2:00 a.m ET An audio-only broadcast of the program is also carried on a number of radio stations. Most of these stations are owned by iHeartMedia (the former Clear Channel Communications), the largest radio station group that runs the division's Fox News Radio newscasts, along with WCSP-FM (C-SPAN Radio) in the Washington area and over the Internet, as part of its weekly audio airings of the major Sunday morning talk shows. In August 2008, Fox News Sunday began to be produced in high definition.

Format

The first minutes of the broadcast runs down the day's headlines, since Fox (unlike the Big Three television networks), does not have a conventional national morning news program that leads into Fox News Sunday. Additionally, a limited number of Fox's affiliates have local news programs leading into it. For the rest of the first half of the show, the host interviews news makers from the prior week. During the second half of the show, the host introduces a panel of four pundits to speak about the political impact of the news. Regular members of the panel include the following people: The program ends with a short segment focusing on a "Power Player of the Week", usually a short, non-political "feel good" story about a person who has made a significant contribution to society. Guest hosts for the program include Mike Emanuel, Gillian Turner, Jennifer Griffin and Bill Hemmer.
