NEW YORK (AP) - Trying to take advantage of instability in morning television, Fox announced on Tuesday that it will launch an hour-long morning news program in January.
Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy, currently daytime anchors on Fox News Channel, will be the hosts of the program. It will air at 9 a.m. in most markets and lean toward light, entertainment-driven news unless there is a major story. Fox News Channel reporters will be used for story coverage.
The program, which doesn't have a name yet, will follow four hours of local news programming on many Fox stations. Fox hopes that provides a compatible lead-in, said Dennis Swanson, president of operations for the Fox television stations.
