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.

- Chris Wallace
(2003?2021): Wallace joined Fox News in October 2003, where he replaced Snow as host of Fox News Sunday. Considered by then-Fox president
Roger Ailes
to be "one of the best interviewers in the business", Wallace hosted the show for 18 years, during which time he secured high-profile interviews with key figures from across the political spectrum, including
Barack Obama
's first interview on Fox News after he became President.
[2]
Wallace also interviewed Russian President
Vladimir Putin
in 2018, where he received praise for challenging Putin's alleged interference in the 2016 election
[3]
and asking "why so many" of his political enemies "end up dead".
[4]
Wallace abruptly announced his departure from Fox News on December 12, 2021, and later announced that he would be joining
CNN
's new streaming service
CNN+
to host his own show.
[5]
Wallace's CNN+ show was cancelled after the network announced that their new streaming service would be shutting down on April 30 due to low user subscriptions a month after launching.
[6]
Wallace now hosts a talk show for
Max
along with a new show for CNN on Sunday nights.

The program began on April 28, 1996,
[8]
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
[9]
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

programs leading into it. For the rest of the first half of the show, the host interviews news makers from the prior week.
