America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer & Megyn Kelly is an American news/talk program on Fox News Channel, first airing on February 12, 2007.[1][2]
Derived from one of the network's slogans, the show features general news coverage, which is divided between two general categories, either originating from the National Desk or World Desk. The program also features a number of discussions on issues currently in the news, commonly inviting two separate people to come onto the program to give two separate view points, pulled together by questions asked by the hosts to help inform the viewers on the two points of views on the issue at hand. In addition to each of these features, the program also features a number of soft news stories, alike to much of the programming on the network.
Compared to the show's predecessor, Fox News Live, the show has added to FNL's general news coverage format by pressing a faster paced format in addition to featuring user-involved segment, Because You Asked, in which viewers are able to e-mail into the program to ask questions which were not asked, or possibly followed up, in the coverage of recent news stories or past news stories covered by the network. The Because You Asked segment was formerly seen during Fox Online, which was also hosted by Hemmer. Kelly's Court is another segment on the show that came with Megyn from Weekend Live, the segment looks at and discuss legal story.
The introduction of the news program is the continuation of a past press towards branded programming, which has been occurring since the original introduction of Studio B in 2002. Also, the show presents a newer shift to allow the network's booking system to allow analysts and guests to select the hours which they wanted to appear, rather than the past setup which asked personalities to possibly air during any of the hours of Fox News Live, which could have limited their availability to be on the network.[3]
In January 2008 America's Newsroom was the six ranked show of all cable news shows with 1,082,000 viewers.[citation needed]
