The show replaced the similar Fox News Watch , the last edition of which aired on August 31, 2013. Media Buzz aired at the same time as CNN's Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter , which Kurtz had hosted from 1992 until his departure from CNN on June 30, 2013, and was wound down in 2022. [2] [3] Media Buzz surpassed one million viewers in late 2013. [4] [5]

On September 10, 2025, Fox News announced that it was overhauling its weekend lineup, which resulted in MediaBuzz being canceled. The show was replaced with The Sunday Briefing hosted by Peter Doocy and Jacqui Heinrich. [6]

Frequent panelists

The show leads off every week with its signature "Spin Cycle" segment where two or three panelists of diverse backgrounds debate the political issues of the week. Below are frequent panelists of the segment.
