Smith — whose official title is Chief News Anchor and Managing Editor of Breaking News — currently anchors the weekday news program Shepard Smith Reporting, and has been with Fox News since the channel’s original launch in 1996, handling breaking news and offering in-depth analysis.
Fox News is keeping at least one of their familiar faces around: The news channel announced on Thursday it has re-signed anchor Shepard Smith to a multi-year deal, extending his two-decade run with the network.
“Shepard Smith is an exemplary journalist whose skill in anchoring breaking news is unrivaled,” Fox News executive chairman Rupert Murdoch said in a statement.
“His powerful storytelling on both television and digital platforms has elevated our entire news gathering process.”
