Fox Headline News at 7 is a nightly news & current affairs show in the Euro Republics shown on FOX. It is hosted by Elaine Holden & Daniel May. It is intended as a sister show to Three News on TV3, which airs directly opposite it. It airs nightly from 7:00 pm to 7:40 pm, along with delayed airings with a round-up edited weekly show on TV3 & an unedited repeat directly after on TV8.

History
The show launched on 31st October, 1995 as two programmes, Channel 4 News at 7 & Newsnight, screened at 00:15. A 12pm bulletin was added in 1997. The initial idea was to cover a more magazine style, whilst keeping a big news story first.

Overview
With a light-hearted tone compared with most news programming, Fox Headline News is "punchy, irreverent, satirical".

It's stories are tailored to a younger audience than it's sister show, with the initial idea being that younger viewers tune in to the tabloid-style show on FOX while older viewers watch TV3's mid-market style news show. The hour-long format makes it easier for the programme to insert more stories relating to younger audiences, such as sport, entertainment & gaming news.

Despite this, FHN continues to carry harder news stories at the beginning, leaving the latter half of the show for the magazine content, however, in the event of breaking news, the magazine content will be restricted to one story while the rest of the show is left open for the news.

Criticism
The first show received some criticism by the media due to how a report on last-minute deals for the PS5 & Xbox Series X was featured as the second main story, with a report on Donald Trump's last weeks in power the leading headline.
