Fox News celebrates its 25th anniversary Thursday and has been the top-rated cable news channel since 2000, but according to “Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy, it wasn’t an easy journey.
“For the longest time in the beginning, it didn’t look good,” he recalled to TheWrap, explaining that he was one of the very first hires when the network launched. “Our competition was CNN and they were the market leader, obviously.”
Doocy described how he started by doing the weather, then began doing news broadcasts, which came in 15-minute chunks that were repeated throughout the day. A few things happened that launched Fox News to where it is now and Doocy remembers it all.
