Fox News has announced Mary Katharine Ham has joined the network as a contributor, making her first appearance on America’s Newsroom Wednesday morning.

She previously served in a similar role with the network from 2007-2015. She later worked at CNN, where she claimed she was suspended for speaking about the infamous Jeffrey Toobin incident in a public capacity. She shared that a “secret ban” was imposed upon her by Jeff Zucker, which was revealed to her by Chris Licht.

In addition to her contributor role with Fox News, she’ll continue to write a column for OutKick. She will also continue to host her Getting Hammered podcast with Vic Matus.

“I am indeed back on the team! It’s gonna be so fun to be back with so many longtime Fox friends on-air and behind the scenes,” Ham wrote in a post to X. “Media can be a crazy business, but there are moments it makes bonds that matter. I truly got the best end of that deal when the viewers watched me grow up on-air, get married, have kids, go through some of the worst life can dish out, and then so many supported and prayed for my family and me all these years. I hear from them often and I’m excited to see more of them in my new gig! Truly too many to name, but grateful for y’all.”

An established author, Ham wrote a 2015 book with Fox News Radio host Guy Benson called “End of Discussion: How the Left’s Outrage Industry Shuts Down Debate, Manipulates Voters, and Makers America Less Free (and Fun).” She also has bylines in publications like the New York Post, USA Today, and The Atlantic, among others.

As CNN makes preparations to host the first presidential debate next week, it has added several partners to simulcast the event. A new report suggests MSNBC, Newsmax, and NewsNation will join an already growing field of partners.

A report from the Los Angeles Times claims that the CNN debate will be added by MSNBC/NBC News, Newsmax, NewsNation, Scripps News, and Telemundo.

When asked by Barrett News Media if the network was partnering with CNN to broadcast the debate, Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy simply stated “True.”

Those networks would join ABC News — who will host the second presidential debate in September, Fox News, and PBS as simulcast partners. In addition to airing on Fox News, the network will also broadcast the 90-minute event on the Fox Business Network, network FOX, the FOX Nation streaming app, and will provide the debate to its Fox News Radio affiliates.

While the report from the LA Times says that the bevy of networks will also simulcast the event, none of the networks outside of Newsmax have publicly announced their intention to partner with CNN. Barrett News Media has asked each network for comment.
