LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The hosts of Fox News Channel's "DaySide" program will jump to a new morning show next year on 35 Fox-owned broadcast stations, going up against the last hour of NBC's "Today" in some cities, Fox said on Tuesday.

The new program, produced by sister studio Twentieth Television, will air live from New York featuring a mix of talk, news and entertainment hosted by Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy of "DaySide."

Jerrick and Huddy will continue their duties as Fox News daytime anchors until this fall, when they will be replaced on the cable news channel by another program.

Bob Cook, president and CEO of Twentieth Television, said the pair's new show on the Fox Television Stations group would be similar in format to "DaySide," but "we'll bring a little bit different look to it."

Those two are some of the most boring hosts I have ever watched in my life. Whenever I am watching FNC, when Juliet and Mike come on... I flip the channel. Sorry, I won't be watching them. If you put ED, Steve, and Brian on FOX... that would be some must see tv.

I agree with you there - love that group! But they already have a morning show. ;)

It's 4 hours on both of my affiliates too... but this won't affect that. It'll air at 9am which is after the news goes off.

Our Fox affiliate only does news at 9. ugh! I would like a morning newscast that is relevant, but not at 9 and not by these two.
