After Wednesday's announcement that Bill O'Reilly will not be returning to Fox News Channel, here's what their primetime lineup will look like in the upcoming future:

5 PM/ET – A new show, hosted by Eric Bolling, will debut on May 1st. From April 24th-28th, Special Report with Bret Baier will air from 5 to 7 p.m.

7 PM/ET – "The Story with Martha MacCallum" will debut on Monday, May 1st. Until then, MacCallum will continue anchoring "The First 100 Days" through April 28th.

8 PM/ET – "Tucker Carlson Tonight"

9 PM/ET - "The Five" (LIVE) with co-hosts Kimberly Guilfoyle, Dana Perino, Bob Beckel, Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Watters and Juan Williams.

10 PM/ET – "Hannity"

Tucker Carlson will move to the 8 p.m. slot, and "The Five" will move to the 9 p.m. slot formerly occupied by Tucker Carlson. Jesse Watters also joins "The Five" as a co-host.

Firing Factors

APRIL 19, 2017

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] This will probably not come as a shock, but this male TV star is getting fired… and we have some exclusive (and fascinating) details as to what decision-making factors are being considered behind the scene!

I talked to [one of the board members]. There is a 100% chance he is getting fired. Why?

  1. There are three more women (other than the ones you already know about) who are preparing to come out with their own stories about being harassed by him. One of them is [Female On-Air Talent]. If they fire him first, they may be able to minimize the damage of those additional accusations.
  2. [The network] is trying to attract new, younger talent (including female and minority talent). If they don’t get rid of him, some of that talent simply won’t even consider joining [The Network].
  3. [The network] is trying to win international broadcasting contracts. They can’t go into those negotiations with this scandal hanging over them.
  4. If they fired [Star’s Ex-Boss], and [Star] is accused of same thing, they have to be consistent and fire him too.
  5. Money, money, money. With advertisers sitting it out, even doubling the audience share won’t help. No advertising dollars = no show = no reason to keep [Star].
  6. Here’s the most interesting thing: They knew about this last year, and if they had fired him last year, then [A Female Star Who Left] would have stayed… and taken over his time slot!!! They’re kicking themselves over that one.

Too late.

Adding Tucker was a great move, but this reshuffling...
Tucker better find a new format. Different guests with the same shtick along with the same facial expressions every night has already gotten old for me.

Dobbs is the only one worth watching but even he pissed me off the other night when he kept interrupting (Hannity style) and practically berating John Bolton over trump's Syrian missile attack.

“She’s on right now. Yuk, back to Survivor!”

And was that Don Lemon from CNN as one of her guests? Geeeez!

The 5 is unwatchable.

It has no intelligent conversation. It is just annoying people engaged in stupid discussions.

Anyone else watching “The Factor” tonight (no more O’Reilly)? Yikes. Just awful. And what sub-idiot decided to put “The Five” on in the prime spot? Now I can’t even watch a two hour block of Tucker and Hannity (two of the few remaining good guys on the channel) without having it broken up with those idiots. Great move, boneheads. The rest of their “new” line-up has “loser” written all over it as well.

Wouldn’t be so bad if we had a decent alternative... but, what, are we supposed to go to CNN? MSNBC? Pravda (oh, wait... Pravda’s a little less biased).

Speaking of Hannity. He’s unwatchable only because of his constant interrupting and talking over his guests, even putting words in their mouths.

The 5 mentions Juan Williams, no Bob Beckel.

Agree - The Five is garbage. Silly, obnoxious, attention starved juvenile Greg Gutfeld, Kimberley and her bouncing leg, Dana PeRINO, Juan Williams....Eric Bolling is the only one I like. The 9:00 slot is no place for this bunch.

No intention on watching the Fiv.

Sucks for Hannity, because that means I probably won’t watch him either.

I’ll probably just watch Tucker on youtube.

They should have given Larry Elder a spot. He is a good man.

“I thought Fox should bring someone new into the lineup”

Would love me some Sharyl Attkisson. Not sure she could hold down an hour show, but I’d like to see her give it a try.

The 5 is unwatchable.

The only reason I ever watch is to see how big Kimberly's false eyelashes are today.

The Five is somewhat a foolish show.

I want to see Larry Elder or Michael Savage. The Left can’t touch those men because they would eat their lunch.

O’Reilly played along with the Left.....He went on the View and all these other shows.

Dobbs is the best thing in the Fox empire

I watch FBN almost 100% for the same reasons. And Liz Clayman (sigh), well, it wouldn't be Fox with out a little eye candy.

I was just going to comment that I’d love to see someone with some seriousness and intellect, and Sharyl Attkisson was the one that came to mind. I also like Michelle Malkin.

A one hour show could easily be hosted by two people - a show with these two gals, both who seem to be truth obsessed, would be very worth watching.

The Four NeverTrumpers plus one is unwatchable.
