She went on to start the Miranda Theater Company in New York. After that, MacCallum joined Dow Jones & Company as an associate in the corporate relations department.

MacCallum served as a business news correspondent and anchor in The Wall Street Journal Report, World Market Outlook, and Business USA on Wall Street Journal Television from 1991 to 1996.

In 1996, she began working as a host and reporter for the defunct New York sports and business channel WBIS-TV.

Is the news of Martha MacCallum head injury true? 

Fox News announced the schedule change for Martha’s The Story from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m. ET on January 1, 2021. 

Apart from this change, there has been no significant change in Martha’s life. Hence, the new of her injury is also not true.

The network also unveiled the new evening program, Fox News Primetime.

In the new format, various hosts take turns hosting each episode.

The CEO of Fox News Media, Suzanne Scott, has publicly claimed that their network has the “best-in-class” anchors, interviewers, correspondents, and talent in the news media.

“This new powerful lineup guarantees that Fox News Media will continue to deliver outstanding coverages for our viewership.”  

An insider told The Daily Beast that Martha’s popularity was a significant factor in the network’s decision to change its schedule.

[Fox]don’t think Martha is strong to be part of the primetime lineup,” a current employee told the outlet. When speaking about her, people often say, “Before the election, she was always No. 1.”

According to the insider, “then we called Arizona for Biden, and everything changed.” Bottom feeders like Newsmax and OAN quickly scooped up our disenfranchised readers.  

The Daily Beast reports that after the 2020 presidential election, Fox News witnessed “double-digit declines” in viewership for their weekday news programs. 

The question of whether the audience will ever forgive the fox news people for doing it remains a mystery.

Someone said, “The world changed for Fox the day they called Arizona,” and that’s precisely what happened.

Exploring other changes at Fox News

Besides Martha’s new time slot, other shifts were made to the Fox News schedule. 

Bill Hemmer, previously on at 3 p.m., is now with Dana Perino from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.; Perino used to have her show at 2 p.m. 

Martha has defended the positive aspects of airing mid-afternoon, telling Insiders that “the biggest change with The Story is that news flow is active at 3 p.m., so while we’re digging deep and getting great guests and analyst on the news of the day, we are the place to be for breaking news,” even though some may view the time slot change negatively. 

She added, “My background covers breaking news; I greatly enjoy expanding upon the initial reporting and including new perspectives.”

Martha supports the network’s new initiatives but acknowledges missing some aspects of the old way of doing things.
