Fox News has picked a permanent replacement for Chris Wallace after he left Fox News Sunday for CNN.
Fox News announced that Shannon Cream will be the new replacement for Fox News Sunday beginning September 11.
Suzanne Scott, CEO of Fox News Media, said that Bream is the first woman to anchor the program in its 26-year history.
“Shannon is an outstanding journalist, reporter and anchor who has cultivated a strong and enduring relationship with the FOX News Media audience,” Scott said.
Bream commented on her new position.
“It has been an honor to cover major news throughout Washington over the last 15 years at Fox News. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to host a Sunday show and look forward to this new role.”
Fox News also issued a statement on the replacement:
In this new capacity, Bream will preside over FOX News Media’s signature Sunday morning political talk show which airs on FOX Broadcast, with encore presentations running on FNC. Notably, each time Bream has guest-hosted FOX News Sunday over the last several months she has over-delivered the 2021 average of the show by 20%. In January, she netted double-digit increases across the board on FNS, up 32% in total viewers (1.35 million) and 45% over the previous in the advertiser-friendly 25-54 demo (343,000), marking the highest-rated FOX News Sunday episode of 2022.
The statement went on to share the many accolades Bream has achieved over the years.
In addition, she is the host of Livin’ the Bream, a podcast on FOX News Audio where she shares inspirational stories, personal anecdotes, and an insider’s perspective on actions and rulings from the high court. She is also the author of the 2019 title “Finding the Bright Side: The Art of Chasing What Matters.”
“Before joining FNC, Bream worked as a weekend anchor for WRC-TV (NBC) in Washington, D.C. Previously, she anchored the evening and late-night news for WBTV (CBS) in Charlotte, NC and held writing and reporting positions at WFTS-TV (ABC) in Tampa, FL.
“Prior to her work as a journalist, Bream practiced corporate law specializing in race discrimination and sexual harassment cases. She is an honors graduate of the Florida State University College of Law and obtained her B.S. in Business Management magna cum laude from Liberty University,” the statement said.
Chris Wallace left Fox and will be hosting a primetime show called “Who’s Talking?”
The New York Post shared that it’s a “show built for streaming that gives newsmakers the opportunity to have candid conversations and an open dialogue about the issues of the day and whatever is on their minds,” Wallace said in a statement. “I’ve never had more fun developing a program and am looking forward to bringing it to both HBO Max and CNN audiences.””
Wallace was with Fox News for nearly two decades.
We will find out soon enough whether she’s real or fake. Not many real ones around.
Good by and good riddance Chris…… I do trust FOX News
Need to proof read. First you give her last name as Cream then the correct last name of Bream. I like her and will be better than Wallace.
