Jenna Lee Named Co-Anchor of FOX News Channel's Happening Now
NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE) - FOX Business Network's (FBN) Jenna Lee has been named co-anchor of FOX
News Channel's (FNC) daytime news program Happening Now (11AM-1PM/ET),
announced Michael Clemente, Senior Vice President, News Editorial. Lee
will begin her new role on July 12th, taking over for Jane
Skinner who announced last month that she was stepping down from the
show. Jon Scott will continue in his co-anchor position.
In making the announcement, Clemente said, "When Jane approached us
expressing her desire to step down, we were faced with a dilemma
considering her contributions to the success of Happening Now.
After looking at numerous internal candidates and their individual skill
sets, we felt Jenna's combined passion for journalism, energy and
enthusiasm would make her an ideal choice."
Lee added, "I'm both honored and humbled for this opportunity to be
joining a group of highly talented journalists. While I'm sad to leave
behind the colleagues whom I've worked so closely with in building FOX
Business, I'm very excited to embark on a new challenge within the FOX
family."
Hired by FOX News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes prior to FBN's 2007 launch,
Lee co-hosted both FOX Business Morning from 5-6 AM/ET and FOXBusiness.com
Live Morning Edition from 6-9 AM/ET. She was also a part of the Money
for Breakfast ensemble during its two year tenure. Recently, she has
served in the news anchor role for the FOX Business simulcast of Imus
in the Morning while also providing business news updates throughout
the day for both FBN and FNC's hard news programming.
Before FBN, she served as a news anchor and reporter for Forbes.com
providing daily market updates and breaking news from Wall Street, in
addition to conducting CEO interviews for the site's video programming.
A graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Lee
began her career at NY1 as a writer and segment producer for Fortune
Business Report covering the stock market, real estate, personal
finance and the retail industry. She also contributed to Inside City
Hall, the live nightly political show, and served as a writer for
NY1's morning newscast.
