Megyn Kelly, a staple of Fox News Channel's daytime lineup since joining the network in 2004, moves to prime time with this show -- which takes its title from Kelly's weekly segment on "The O'Reilly Factor" -- that focuses on breaking news and in-depth investigative reports. The show presents unique angles on the news by taking advantage of Kelly's skills as a former litigator and using a strong social media presence. Kelly also regularly conducts interviews with people in the news.

Perspectives on the headlines of the day with a focus on crime, politics and investigative reports.

Formerly a block of several hours of news coverage airing daily, including weekends, "MSNBC Live" is now the title of an hourlong show providing breaking news coverage weekday mornings. Journalist Thomas Roberts anchors the show that includes analysis and interviews surrounding the news of the day. "MSNBC Live" also includes feature stories and in-depth special reports from contributing anchors and correspondents as well as weather forecasts from MSNBC's sister network, The Weather Channel.

As part of its attempted reinvention, MSNBC has been moving away from airing opinion-based shows during the day, replacing them with blocks of news programming to boost the network's breaking news coverage. Kate Snow, who has years of experience as a journalist for national networks, anchors this portion of the afternoon block. "MSNBC Live" details the day's developments in news and politics to keep viewers aware of the latest happenings.

As part of its commitment to providing breaking news coverage throughout its daytime schedule, MSNBC has a block of "MSNBC Live" programming throughout the day, with different anchors splitting up the hours. Ali Velshi hosts this block. As is the case with other shows under the "MSNBC Live" banner, Velshi details the day's top news and political developments in Washington and across America.

Alex Witt, a longtime journalist who happens to be a distant relative of George Washington (a second cousin, seven generations removed), tackles politics and the news of the day on this weekend morning show. And of course no modern news show would be complete without viewer interaction by way of social media. Witt gets viewers involved with the on-air discussions between her and her guests by reading viewers' thoughts on the topics of the day that they send in via Twitter, Facebook and e-mail, which seems old-fashioned at this point.

Veteran journalist Howard Kurtz is no stranger to criticizing the media. He did it for 20 years as a media columnist for The Washington Post and as host of CNN's long-running "Reliable Sources" from 1998 through the first half of 2013. So it's no surprise that shortly after departing CNN in mid-2013 for rival Fox News Channel he would premiere a show for his new employer that is modeled after his previous program. In addition to Kurtz and his weekly panel discussing how the press covers a variety of topics that include technology, social media, politics and sports, the host also interviews some of the country's top journalists. And, as you might expect in these social mediacentric times, "MediaBuzz" features some viewers' questions and comments on the show.

CNN's daily news program brings viewers the latest headlines, stories, live reports, and breaking news from around the world. Carol Costello anchors this hour.

In the past, MSNBC has filled its daytime schedule with opinion-based discussion shows. The news network has transitioned into providing breaking news coverage during the day. This news block is anchored by Tamron Hall, a veteran of the network. As with the other "MSNBC Live" programming blocks throughout the day, the Hall-anchored program explores the day's developments in news and politics so the network's viewers continue to be informed with the latest happenings.
