Fox News Sets 90-Second 'Fox News Report' for Local Stations, Anchored by Bill Melugin

The weekday cut-in extends network-produced news into local lineups to elevate rising correspondents’ visibility.

Overview

  • The brief launches Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, airing on weekdays at 5:58 p.m.
  • It will run on 18 Fox-owned stations and be offered to Fox broadcast network affiliates.
  • The segment runs 90 seconds and delivers quick national and global headlines across politics, sports and entertainment.
  • Production is based in Washington, D.C., with Melugin leading the coverage as a Fox News congressional correspondent.
  • Fox frames the move as part of a broader push to spotlight newer on-air talent, and it adds to existing station programming such as the first-run airing of Fox News Sunday and event coverage by network anchors.
