Struggling to hold on to viewers in an early-evening time slot, Fox News has decided to give a controversial right-wing radio host a trial run hosting a new show.
The New York Times reports that conservative talker Laura Ingraham will join a rotating series of personalities on a new 5 p.m. program. Network executives appear to be grooming her as a new talent for the network, according to the report.
Ingraham, who frequently fills in for the brash Bill OReilly on Fox, has made a name for herself with a popular talk radio show that is among the top-rated in the country. Fox will need the rating help, as its previous 5 p.m. report Americas Election HQ placed third last week in the advertiser-coveted 25- to 54-year-old demographic, the Times reports.
Thanks, J! How’s Dennis Miller doing these days? Do you get a chance to listen to him often?
