Fox News Sunday is public affairs magazine on Fox, airing on Sunday mornings. The show, which began in 1996, is hosted by Chris Wallace. The show, which predates the launch of Fox News Channel, usually talks about items similar to Sunday-morning interview shows. The program is re-broadcast Sunday evening on the Fox News Channel at 6:00 p.m. ET. The show is also broadcast in SDTV widescreen.

For the first half of the show, Wallace interviews newsmakers from the prior week.

During the second half of the show, Wallace introduces a panel of pundits (three conservatives and one liberal) to speak about the political impact of the news. Regular members of the panel include Brit Hume, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol and National Public Radio correspondents Mara Liasson and Juan Williams. Columnist Charles Krauthammer and Fortune Washington bureau chief Nina Easton, Washington Examiner reporter Bill Sammon and Washington Post reporter Ceci Connelly also appear on the panel on a limited basis.

Originally hosted by current White House Press Secretary Tony Snow until 2003, the program celebrated its tenth anniversary in April 2006.

The program is also rebroadcast on a small number of radio affiliates, such as KFBK and KXL.
