Beginning of early life, education and career

While Aishah was born in Pakistan, her family later migrated to the US, settling in Bedford, Indiana where she would grow up.

Professional career

After graduation, Hasnie was offered a job in Fort Wayne hired by WANE-TV as an investigative reporter.

Owned by Nextar, the station has been on the air since the 1950s, providing daily locally produced newscasts with two four-hour news shows. Although she mainly served on the sidelines during this period, she filled in as an anchor when the main anchors were unavailable. Her biggest story during this time was a report on voyeurism, which helped her get an Emmy Award nomination.

In 2011, she moved to Indianapolis and joined the Fox affiliate, WXIN-TV/FOX59. The station is known for carrying primary broadcasts of the Hoosier Lottery, the state’s official lottery. They also cover professional sports teams and produce many more newscasts in excess of 62 hours per week.

Moving to Fox News

In 2019, her service at Fox59 didn’t go unnoticed when she was finally asked to move to a position at the main station in New York City.

She was used to this work because she had already worked early morning shifts in her previous work experience. The show’s main hosts are Ainsley Earhardt and Heather Childers.

Recent Efforts

In recent months, Hasnie, like many of New York City’s residents, has stopped working because of the city Close most areas after a huge spike in coronavirus cases.
