Fox News Channel will debut a new weekend programming lineup beginning Saturday, Sept. 20, FOX News Media President & Editor-in-Chief Jay Wallace announced on Wednesday. 

"Outnumbered" co-host Kayleigh McEnany will begin hosting her own program "Saturday in America" at 10 a.m. ET on Saturdays, while Griff Jenkins will join "FOX & Friends Weekend" as the third co-host alongside Rachel Campos-Duffy and Charlie Hurt.

A new program called "The Sunday Briefing" launches on Sunday, Sept. 21, with senior White House correspondents Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich rotating as weekly solo anchors at 11 a.m. ET. Additionally, Johnny Joey Jones and Tomi Lahren have been named two of the four co-hosts of "The Big Weekend Show" as the ensemble program grows to three hours on Saturdays and Sundays at 5 p.m. ET.

"As we expand and innovate our weekend programing, we are proud to bring our audience unrivaled depth and expertise. This new dynamic roster underscores our continued commitment to delivering incomparable coverage, reinforcing FOX News Media as the leader in both news and opinion content," Wallace said in a statement. 

As part of the revamped lineup, Howie Kurtz will step down as host of "MediaBuzz" and transition to a political media analyst role at Fox News. "MediaBuzz" will air its final show on Sunday, Sept. 14, after 12 years in the 11 a.m. ET timeslot where it easily led the cable news competition.

"For more than a decade, Howie Kurtz has served as the lead authority for media coverage in cable news, and we look forward to continuing his smart analysis across our programming," Wallace said.

Kurtz will serve as a political media analyst and continue to provide his signature commentary and reporting across all FOX News Media platforms, which includes hosting the "Media BuzzMeter" podcast and writing for Fox News Digital.

"I’m extraordinarily proud of the program, which was number one for over 12 years and built a loyal audience that liked our down-the-middle approach of contrasting viewpoints and tackling sensitive subjects, with great independence, but time marches on," Kurtz said. 

"Saturday in America with Kayleigh McEnany" will provide a comprehensive look at the headlines dominating the news cycle and feature conversations with newsmakers across the political landscape. McEnany will remain a co-host on the weekday hit ensemble program "Outnumbered."

"The Sunday Briefing" will tackle all facets of the White House beat, including President Donald Trump's national and international moves as well as the key issues affecting the administration. Heinrich and Doocy have covered the White House since 2021, reporting extensively on both the Biden and Trump administrations.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth held his first call with his Chinese counterpart, Admiral Dong Jun, on Sept. 9, in a conversation that comes as Beijing deepens ties with Moscow and Pyongyang while showcasing its own military might.

Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said Hegseth "forthrightly relayed that the U.S. has vital interests in the Asia-Pacific, the priority theater, and will resolutely protect those interests."

"Hegseth made clear that the United States does not seek conflict with China nor is it pursuing regime change or strangulation of the PRC."

Parnell said the call, which occurred on Tuesday but was made public Wednesday, was "candid and constructive," and the defense chiefs agreed to further discussions. 

XI JINPING HAILS 'UNSTOPPABLE' CHINA AS TRUMP ACCUSES BEIJING OF CONSPIRING AGAINST US

Fox News Digital reached out to the Chinese embassy for comment on the call. 

Last week, China hosted a military parade where President Xi Jinping showcased his regional alliances in public appearances with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin. 

Xi at the time hinted at his ambitions toward Taiwan, saying that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) would "resolutely safeguard national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity."

Xi has repeatedly set 2027, the 100th anniversary of the PLA, as a deadline for military modernization — a timeline U.S. officials warn could coincide with preparations for an invasion of Taiwan.

During the parade, China showcased its full nuclear triad, hypersonic missiles and new stealth drones.

The show of force came two months after the U.S. hosted its own military parade to coincide with the Army’s 250th birthday. 

In recent years, Beijing has deepened its security partnerships with Pyongyang and Moscow through arms transfers and military technology exchanges.

The U.S. has accused North Korea of supplying munitions to Russia for its war in Ukraine, while Chinese firms have been sanctioned for helping Russia skirt Western export controls.

President Donald Trump, however, has suggested he may meet with Xi in the future as trade negotiations drag on.
