Fox News is shaking up its weekend lineup in the wake of the departures of two hosts, Steve Hilton and Dan Bongino.
Bongino, who hosted a Saturday night show, left the network last month after the two parties couldn’t reach an agreement on terms. The departure of Hilton is equally un-dramatic: he’s leaving his 9 p.m. Sunday show to dedicate himself full-time to what Fox described as a “new California non-partisan policy organization launching next week.” He will remain with the network as a contributor.
In light of those departures, Fox announced a new lineup starting this weekend. The network is getting rid of The Big Saturday and Sunday Show to make way for The Big Weekend Show (talk about streamlining) which will air at 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. A new program called Fox News Saturday Night will air at 10 p.m. on, you guessed it, Saturday night.
Fox has been dealing with other changes in the wake of its devastating $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over the promotion of 2020 election conspiracy theories. The network ousted its biggest star, Tucker Carlson, and has been quietly laying off staff.
More staffing cuts hit the network this week. Mediaite learned that as part of the belt-tightening Fox let go of its senior correspondent Laura Ingle, who has been with the network since 2005.

Good to hear.
Bankruptcy will be the *best outcome, but layoffs, a viewer rebellion, a crippling settlement and crashed ratings are a GREAT start.
Too based for Faux.
Neopagans-I like that.
Vanguard is a passive investor. It doesn’t call the shots at Fox or at any other of its holdings.
I don’t.
Boy Howdy isn’t what he tried to market himself as while he was in Congress. He’s execrable.
The new talk show debut on Saturday was a bomb. I like panels but this one wasn’t very good. I also like Tyrus but he’s no Gutfeld. Don’t know if there will be a recurring host - sure hope so.
What did poor Laura Ingle do to piss off TPTB?
And Hannity? Is he finally waking up?
Sure looks like Mark Levin will be the next to be terminated so as to not offend the FOX management.
They can't just fire people for the same reason they haven't technically fired Tucker. That could make them free agents and they could go somewhere else and do essentially the same show under a different name. (The No Spin News is an example. It's essentially The O'Reilly Factor. Another example is Glenn Beck, who went and started his own network.)
So they'll try to keep these people under contract, under control, to silence their voices.
They should just straight-up fire these people instead of stringing them on like that. It's classless.
They can keep Hannity. Build New Fox around him.
The last remaining reason to watch anything on Fox.
Officially.
Let Kat do it.
Well, at least Levin has Levin TV and a weekly show on The Blaze.
They should just straight-up fire these people instead of stringing them on like that. It's classless.
They can keep Hannity. Build New Fox around him.
Great, FOX will become a conveyor belt transporting new voters towards more conservative news sources.
....YES....you are right...forgot about Judge Janine...we never missed an episode.....gone, but not forgotten...!!
She’s OK but she’s so darn depressing. They should just give Emily her own show.
