Move to syndication

During the summer of 2006, Fox News announced that the network would cease production of ''Dayside'', in addition to the news that Fox Broadcasting was planning to produce a new breakfast television show for syndication, beginning with television stations owned by the Fox Television Stations. The new program, akin to ''DaySide'', would be hosted by Jerrick and Huddy, requiring them to leave Fox News for the syndicated program. The program was initially promoted to feature elements of both programs the hosts have been a part of, ''DaySide'' and ''Fox & Friends''.
