Bill Hemmer has been named Shepard Smith’s replacement and now we know who Hemmer’s replacement will be. Ed Henry will replace Bill Hemmer.
According to The Hill:
The veteran Washington journalist will replace Bill Hemmer on the mid-morning show. Henry, 48, is slated to co-host the program with Sandra Smith starting Jan. 20.
“Ed is one of the best all-around journalists in the field and his ability to transition from breaking news to anchor has made him a valuable addition to the team. I have no doubt he’ll excel alongside Sandra Smith as co-anchor of America’s Newsroom,” said Jay Wallace, president and executive editor of Fox News Media, in a statement Thursday.
“America’s Newsroom,” which airs for three hours on weekdays starting at 9 a.m., delivered an average of 1.59 million total viewers this year, beating out CNN and MSNBC during those hours.
“It has been an incredible honor to cover major breaking news here at home and all around the world as chief national correspondent and chief White House correspondent before that,” Henry said on Thursday. “Now I am grateful to take that experience to the anchor desk, and help kick off our news coverage every single morning.”
Before joining Fox News in 2011 Henry was on a Washington area radio station, WMAL, and was the White House Correspondent for CNN.
