The program starts at 6:00 a.m. Eastern Time with the latest Fox News Live headlines and analyzes the news of the morning. It continues with many different segments including interviews, updates of news stories with correspondents at any number of bureaus, analysis from the hosts, and many different regular morning show segments. Fox & Friends evolved from Fox X-press, FNC's original morning-news program.
The show also has a list of regular contributors, including Dr. Manny Alvarez with "Ask Dr. Manny" and "Dr. Manny's Healthbeat," two regular health segments, Mancow Muller with a short chat session towards the end of the weekday edition of the program, and any number of other contributors.
After the September 11, 2001, attacks, an additional hour was added to the beginning of the weekday show, but branded as a separate program called Fox & Friends First. It was the first FNC program to air live for the day, starting at 6:00 a.m. It was discontinued on July 13, 2008 and replaced with an additional hour of Fox & Friends. (Such a change, however, is only cosmetic: Both shows were both produced by the same staff and cycled the same anchors, the only difference being the graphics package.)
In the first quarter of 2007, Fox & Friends held a significant lead in the Nielsen ratings among morning television shows on American cable channels, averaging 769,000 viewers, compared to CNN's American Morning's average of 372,000 viewers and MSNBC's Imus in the Morning program, which averaged 361,000 viewers at the time of its cancellation by MSNBC on 2007-04-11.
