On Monday, Bill Hemmer, a part-time Sag Harbor, N.Y., resident, became anchor of Fox News' weekday 3 p.m. newscast, "Bill Hemmer Reports," replacing "Shepard Smith Reporting." Smith quit last October (and per trade reports, is being courted by CNN and MSNBC).
I spoke recently with Hemmer, 55, who joined Fox 15 years ago from CNN as a breaking news specialist and as co-anchor of "America's Newsroom" at launch in 2009.
Q: The last few years were tumultuous at FNC. What were they like for you?
