With Bill O’Reilly gone, here – according to Josh Feldman of Mediaite.com, is Fox News Channel’s new prime time lineup:
-7PM: Marsha McCallum, who currently has the 7PM slot will stay there. The show will now be called “The Story with Martha MacCallum.”
-8PM: Tucker Carlson, whose show recently moved to 9PM, will now move again – this time to O’Reilly’s plum 8PM slot. He becomes the Prime Time superstar.
-9PM: The Five, which currently airs at 5PM, moves to Carlson’s soon-to-be-former spot at 9PM.
-10PM: Hannity stays put.
Looks pretty strong to me. How about you?
I hope the 2 recent moves rescheduling Tucker doesn’t hurt his ratings.
My expectation is that he will hold about the same audience as O’Reilly did, maybe even grow it….and provide Fox with a host 20 years younger in the bargain.
Good riddance to O’Reilly. I always found him overbearing and at the same time fairly simplistic. I hope they consider Buck Sexton who has a nationally syndicated radio show for the future. He’s an ex-CIA analyst and a rising star in conservative media. Excellent, if you ask me.
