LiveNow from Fox is a digital, broadcast and streaming video television network operated by Fox Television Stations, a division of Fox Corporation. The channel carries live coverage of breaking news events throughout the day on several streaming and smart TV platforms. [1]

Contents

On-air hosts include Andrew Craft, Andy Mac, Austin Westfall, Carel Lajara, Christina Evans, Christy Matino, Jeane Franseen, Josh Breslow, Mike Pache and Stephanie Coueignoux. [2]

Operation

The programming is often handled by a single digital journalist who simultaneously narrates live coverage and operates a video switcher, leveraging resources, on-air talent and raw material from the Fox News Channel and its local news affiliates. [1]

The digital journalists work out of Fox's owned-and-operated stations in Phoenix, Arizona (KSAZ-TV), Los Angeles, California (KTTV) and Orlando, Florida (WOFL), presenting an estimated 100 hours a week of live coverage. [1] [3]

History

The service originated as Fox 10 News Now, a webcast that had been run by KSAZ-TV in 2014. [3] It gained a large following on YouTube in 2016 when it carried former president Donald Trump's rallies and other live events uninterrupted and in their entirety.

In 2020, the channel transitioned and rebranded to a national product called News Now from Fox. Later that year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the channel rebranded to "CoronavirusNow," dedicating itself to coverage of the pandemic. [3] [4] [5] Later that year, it took on its current name and format.
