Fox News Considers Major Primetime Shuffle After Tucker Carlson Firing
Fox News is considering making some dramatic changes to its primetime lineup now that Tucker Carlson is gone.
The Drudge Report on Wednesday morning reported that the network plans to move longtime star Sean Hannity into the coveted 8 p.m. hour previously held by Carlson, who was shockingly fired late last month. Furthermore, Drudge added, with Hannity moving up an hour, fellow hosts Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld would slide into the 9 and 10 p.m. primetime hours. The latter slot is currently held by Laura Ingraham.
In response to Drudge’s blaring headline, a network spokesperson wrote in a statement: “No decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration.” Drudge’s claim about a major lineup reshuffle came just a day after Fox Corp. held its annual advertising upfront prominently featuring the network’s stars.
