Fox News Media will unveil new immersive graphics technology during the Fox News Channel’s coverage of Election Night happenings next week.

The new graphics tech is part of the network’s overhaul of Studio M earlier this year, where the Fox News Channel broadcasts some of its news programming. It includes combined augmented reality tech that will be utilized by Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer — the network is calling it the “Bill”board — as well as touchscreen applications to enhance the channel’s reporting of voter turnout and results throughout Election Night.

Other elements that will debut next week include a map that outlines the “Path to 270,” the number of electoral college votes a candidate for the White House must receive in order to clinch the presidency; a “super...

Game on America!

Donald Trump says he will “absolutely” debate Vice President Kamala Harris.

In fact, the former Potus and three-time GOP nominee now states he “would be willing” to do at least one more and maybe multiple debates against the newly minted presumptive Democratic nominee. This comes after Trump proclaimed earlier this week that the upcoming scheduled next presidential face-off on ABC in September should be moved to Fox News.

In response to a question by Fox News’ Bill Melugin, the remarks by Trump came Tuesday on a conference call with the media as Harris kicked off her first outing on the campaign trail in Milwaukee as a 2024 presidential candidate. Last week, battleground state Wisconsin’s largest city was the host of the RNC.

On the call today with reporters, Trump also took a swipe at ABC for what he sees as overly positive coverage of both President Joe Biden...

It’s eclipse day in America, and if you thought Fox News was going to act normal about it, you were wrong.

The right-wing news network wasted no time on Monday attempting to link the moon’s brief blotting out of the sun to migrant crossings at the Mexico border.

“Fox News alert! A rare celestial event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The southern border is directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun,” host Dana Perino said during Monday’s broadcast of America’s Newsroom.

In a concerning turn of events, Bill Melugin, a prominent reporter documenting the illegal immigration crisis, recently shared alarming photos from Tucson airport that have ignited widespread confusion and anger. The images reveal lines of individuals identified as illegal immigrants, guided by signs explicitly stating, “Non-us Citizens Without Passports Only Enter Here.” This begs the […]

In a startling revelation, disturbing footage captured by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin exposes a troubling situation at the southern border, implicating Biden’s border patrol agents in a dangerous breach of security. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) swiftly responds to the crisis, deploying personnel and resources to counter the surge of illegal aliens ushered in by […]

Fox News Media, known best for shows led by Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, is placing new emphasis on programming that relies more heavily on Kevin Costner, weather emergencies and Greg Gutfeld.

In a meeting with advertisers slated to be held Tuesday, executives at the Fox Corp.-backed operation, will spotlight a growing array of lifestyle content, while continuing to nod to the political programming that draws some of its networks’ biggest audiences. Among the Fox News Media executives scheduled to be on hand were Suzanne Scott, the CEO, and Jay Wallace, president and executive editor.

“If you take a look at our overall audience across all of Fox News Media, 40% comes from lifestyle – sports, weather, entertainment offerings,” says Jeff Collins, executive vice president of advertsing sales for Fox News Media. “We just want to reiterate to our clients the depth and breadth of this type of content...

Kcet won a leading six awards on Saturday night in a livestream ceremony to bestow the 2022 Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards. ABC7 and NBC4 followed with five wins apiece at the show hosted by Spectrum News 1 journalist Giselle Fernández from the Television Academy Plaza in North Hollywood.

The ceremony honored locally produced programs in the categories of Live and Breaking News Coverage, Crime and Social Issues, Culture and History, the Arts, Human Interest, Sports, and the Environment.

KTLA5 won one of the big awards on the night, for Regularly Scheduled Daily Evening Newscast, for its 11 p.m. newscast. NBC4 won for morning newscast while Kvea’s Noticiero Telemundo 52 won for daytime.

Television Academy chairman and CEO Frank Scherma presented this year’s Governors Award to Ktla’s Gayle Anderson for her “contributions to television broadcasting in the greater Los Angeles area.”

Here’s the full winners list:

The decade following the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary has proved that the Republican Party’s infatuation with guns is stronger than any reservations it may have about children being slaughtered. Conservative gun worship has been reaffirmed in the wake of shooting after shooting, and it shouldn’t be surprising that after at least 21 people, including at least 19 children, were killed in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday by a teenager who bought two assault rifles shortly after his 18th birthday, Republican politicians and right-wing media chose guns over the nation’s children.

Fox News’ Sean Hannity railed against the Federal Aviation Administration’s grounding of a Fox News drone at the Texas-Mexico border.

“The Faa is being used to cover up for [President Joe Biden’s] failures,” the primetime host said, “and are we going to let that stand? I don’t think so.”

Hannity pointed to footage that aired Wednesday night of what appeared to be thousands of undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers under the Acuna International Bridge in Del Rio. Hannity and Bill Melugin said that the drone grounding came after Fox News aired the footage. The Faa, Hannity told his substantial 9 p.m. Et audience, is “trying to prevent Fox’s drone from showing you, the American people, the truth and capturing images just like this.”

Hannity also railed against Vice President Kamala Harris, who serves as border czar, suggesting she is not taking her role at the border seriously or giving it much time.

Kcet has now led in wins at the Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards, for five years in a row.

An SUV crashed into a storefront on Hollywood Boulevard on Friday afternoon, seriously injuring at least four people, including two members of a Fox11 news crew.

Images from the scene showed a white SUV that had crashed into Highland Market, which is across from the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. The crash was reported around 3:15 p.m.

Five people were taken to a nearby hospital, four of whom were in serious-to-critical condition, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Fox11 reported that a photographer and a reporter from the station were among the injured who were transported.

The injured reporter was Hal Eisner, a longtime veteran of the station, according to a source familiar with the incident. Bill Melugin, another reporter at the station, confirmed that Eisner was hurt and said that the injured photographer was Joab Perez. He said that the injuries to both were not life-threatening.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Dept. deputies are leaving things to the health department when it comes to enforcing new stay-at-home orders.

New mandates go into effect tonight at 11:59 Pm, as Gov. Gavin Newsom has issued orders he hopes will stem the increasing number of Covid-19 cases and free up intensive care unit spaces, which are being crowded by new victims of the coronavirus. The new rules curtail business capacities and suggest that no one leave their homes except for essential trips to buy food or seek medical attention.

LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said enforcement at businesses was not their job.

“I want to stay away from businesses that are trying to comply the best they can,” Villanueva said.”They bent over backwards to modify their entire operation to conform to these current health orders, and then they have the rug yanked out from under them, that’s a disservice.

The FBI reportedly raided YouTube star Jake Paul's home over the riot at Scottsdale Fashion Square mall in Arizona which took place in late May. They also allegedly seized "at least 5 long guns." One of the aforementioned long guns was found outside, leaning up against a jacuzzi. Paul was caught on camera at the Black Lives Matter protest in Scottsdale, Arizona, which later turned into a riot, with looting and vandalism taking place. Paul has denied that he took part in the looting and vandalism.

Scottsdale police previously announced that Jake Paul participated in the riot and that he would be charged with criminal trespass and unlawful assembly. Before he was formally charged, Paul released a lengthy statement on social media denying any wrongdoing. However, the Scottsdale police force have now dropped their charges, though it doesn't look like that's going to be good news for Paul. You can...

Both sides of the 101 Freeway were blocked on Wednesday night by protesters condemning the death of George Floyd, a Minneapolis man who died Monday while in police custody in that city.

Crowds gathered earlier in downtown to rail against Floyd’s treatment, organized by the Black Lives Matter movement, who tweeted out details on where to meet.

Floyd, an African American man, was pinned to the street in Minnesota by the knee of a police officer during his arrest. Despite his protests that he couldn’t breathe, he was continually restrained in the position, and subsequently died.

Police claim he resisted arrest, but subsequent video seemed to belie that. The four Minneapolis police officers involved in that incident were fired and face criminal charges in Floyd’s death.

Los Angeles protesters blocked the freeway and reports indicate at least one person has been injured. A patrol car had its windows smashed.
