What We Know: Fox News Rundown launched a video component on Wednesday. The video versions of the show will be available on the Fox News Headlines 24-7 channel. Previously, the podcast has been audio-only. It is also heard as an early morning radio show on more than 175 stations around the country.
What They Said: “I’ve always looked at it as: if you’re streaming it, watching it, or hearing it on your local station, we’re going to be there. I’m really proud of what the podcast team has done over the last few years as we continue to evolve.” -Fox News Audio Senior Vice President John Sylvester
What Remains Unclear: Whether full episodes of the program will be made available on YouTube. So far, just the first large segment of the morning edition podcast has been uploaded to the new YouTube channel. It is also unclear if any content from the Evening Edition of the Fox News Rundown will feature video elements.
What It Means: It’s not only an expansion for Fox News Rundown. It’s also an expansion on YouTube for Fox News. The network has invested heavily in the space, gaining millions of subscribers in the process. The show continues to gain steam as a strong option for news podcast consumers. Last year, Fox News expanded its New Media division, under the guidance of Porter Berry, to feature video podcasts like Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Ruthless, and Will Cain Country, among other shows.
