Fox News Revamps Weekend Lineup with Peter Doocy and Kayleigh McEnany, Replaces Howard Kurtz
Fox News has announced a major overhaul of its weekend programming, emphasizing its commitment to delivering comprehensive coverage. Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy will co-host the new 'Sunday Briefing' alongside Jacqui Heinrich, focusing on White House and international political issues. Kayleigh McEnany, former Trump White House Press Secretary, will host her own show 'Saturday in America' at 10 a.m. ET, providing in-depth analysis of current headlines. The network is also expanding its weekend lineup with Johnny Joey Jones and Tomi Lahren joining 'The Big Weekend Show,' which now runs for three hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Howard Kurtz, who hosted 'MediaBuzz' for over 12 years, is stepping down from his media criticism role to serve as a political media analyst and continue contributing to Fox News through podcasts and other platforms. The changes reflect Fox News' strategy to strengthen its news and opinion content, with new anchors and expanded programming aimed at maintaining its leadership in cable news. Additionally, Fox News is replacing Kurtz's 'MediaBuzz' with 'The Sunday Briefing,' dedicated to White House coverage, and promoting other key personalities like Pete Hegseth, who has been replaced by Pete Doocy, and Kayleigh McEnany, who will continue her role on 'Outnumbered.' The network is also launching 'Fox One,' a streaming service for live news, sports, and entertainment. These moves come amid ongoing media industry shifts and Fox News' efforts to reinforce its position as a primary news source.
