The wonderful Shannon Bream has just been named successor to Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday.
Wallace left Fox News last December and went to CNN where his career quickly went up in flames.
Now, for the first time in the history of Fox News Sunday, a woman has been named as anchor of the show.
Congrats @ShannonBream
FOX News Channel (FNC) has named Shannon Bream to helm FOX News Sunday beginning September 11th, announced Suzanne Scott, CEO of FOX News Media. Bream is the first woman to anchor the program in its 26-year history.

I’ve always been a fan of Shannon Bream since back in the day. She’s an excellent journalist and she’ll do a much better job than Chris Wallace.
Good move, Fox News.
