The show debuted under the title The First 100 Days with the premise of chronicling the presidential transition and beginning of the administration of Donald Trump.[1] The show was renamed to reflect the end of the Trump administration's first hundred days on May 1, 2017, now focusing on a more broad news format with news analysis and interviews.[2]
The Story with Martha MacCallum is broadcast from Studio F at 1211 Avenue of the Americas (also known as the News Corp. Building), New York City.
In January 2021, the program moved from 7PM to the 3PM hour, opening the 7PM hour to an opinion-based program called Fox News Primetime. In January 2022 Jesse Watters was named the permanent host of the hour with a new show called Jesse Watters Primetime.
In the first month it aired, the show averaged 3.5 million viewers, up 79% compared to On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, which had occupied the same time slot the year prior.[3] Since then, the program has averaged approximately three million viewers.[4] [5] In late 2020 and early 2021, ratings were around one million viewers.
