Julie Banderas to host 1pm & Fox Report Weekend Saturdays.
So she's getting half of her old job back
What happens to Jamie?

According to her twitter account, she will be taking over America's News HQ every Saturday from 1-2pm and will be the host for the Fox Report (her last gig) on Saturdays.

How cool. I am sure the return of the really neat caps will follow.

I'll be glad to see Julie back on the air.

Sorry for the double-post on this.

That's a good question - maybe she shifts to another hour or will only be appearing on Sundays.

I'd still love to know why Julie disappeared from FNC after returning for a week or two after maternity leave.

I think wanted to spend more time with her kid and asked for a reduce role.

I wonder if Jamie eventually gets Sunday FR when Harris goes full time to Outnumbered

"Fox News tells us Gregg Jarrett “requested time off for personal reasons and Fox obliged.” Jarrett has been with FNC since 2002, joining from MSNBC....
Replacing Harris on “Fox Report” Saturday will be rotating anchors including Julie Banderas, John Roberts, and Shannon Bream, Fox tells us.

And Saturday at 1pmET will also have rotating anchors: Banderas, Arthel Neville, and Elizabeth Prann will be filling in as hosts. For Prann, it’s been an upward climb since 2008, moving from assistant to Greta Van Susteren, to local news reporter, to Fox News correspondent, and now part of the network’s weekend anchor rotation."

I think it's only adding people in Gregg's spot but I don't know the old schedule all that well.

1-2 p.m. Saturday was Jamie's spot
Now she's down to noon-1 p.m. Sunday, half of which is Sunday House Call
Maybe she'll pick up Sunday Fox Report when Harris decides to give it up, which she likely will since Outnumbered is a hit

Here's an update to the personnel changes on the weekend:

Apparently Julie Banderas will be a rotating anchor, sharing the duties with others.

One change to note - Elizabeth Prann will be one of the rotating anchors for the 1pm (EST) time slot on Saturdays.

The phrase 'hope springs eternal' comes to mind!

Don't want Jamie to lose any more hours!!

One part of the TVN article I don't get,
"Saturday at 1pmET will also have rotating anchors: Banderas, Arthel Neville, and Elizabeth Prann will be filling in as hosts."
Saturday at 1pm had regular anchors in Kelly and Jamie. There's is no need for fill in anchors then.
According to that Jame is being replaced with rotating female anchors.

So when did Gregg Jarrett host?

Even more confusing to me is the idea of having rotating hosts for the Fox Report. I guess it makes sense in that you want to get a bunch of people some hosting experience but a show like the Fox Report should have a steady anchor.

He hosted weekend afternoons
Originally it was Gregg and Julie from 4-6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays
Then Heather C replaced Julie
Then Arthel replaced Heather
Then it became 2:30 to 4 p.m. and 6-7 p.m. Saturdays

Remember F&FF had rotating anchors for a year and a half before they settled on Ainsley and Heather

I expect the same thing will happen here

This plays into why I heard that Jamie is getting her own show during the week.
