NewsNation is undergoing a major primetime reshuffle, bringing a familiar face from Fox News into its evening lineup. Katie Pavlich, 37, has been confirmed as the permanent anchor for the 10 p.m. hour, previously held by Ashleigh Banfield. The announcement was made on December 12, with Pavlich set to officially take over in early 2026.
A New Direction for Primetime
Ashleigh Banfield is not leaving NewsNation but is stepping back from her crime-focused program, Banfield, to lead the network’s expanding true crime division. Alongside this transition, her podcast, Drop Dead Serious with Ashleigh Banfield, will join NewsNation’s digital offerings, further strengthening the network’s presence across multiple platforms.
