MEDIA WINNER: Shannon Bream Shannon Bream, the veteran journalist and legal correspondent, has been named the new host of Fox News Sunday, replacing longtime host Chris Wallace, who left Fox for CNN last December. Bream will will begin her hosting duties on Sept. 11, the network said in a statement. Bream has been with Fox since 2007 and hosted Fox News @ Night. She signed a multi-year extension with Fox in Jan. 2020. A “rotation of journalists” will take her position on Fox News @ Night until a replacement is found, the network said. Bream will continue in her role as Fox News chief legal correspondent. “It has been an honor to cover major news throughout Washington over the last 15 years at FOX News,” Bream said in a statement. “I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to host a Sunday show and look forward to this new role.” On Thursday during a segment with her colleague Sandra Smith, Bream reiterated how much she appreciated the opportunity to helm one of Fox News' marquee shows during "such a momentous time in Washington." It's a big move to the big chair, and unquestionably an accomplishment as well as a challenge that Bream seems poised to meet. |
