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.
The 5 can go. Please.
Six at nine doesn’t work like five at five.
Crap, I was hoping they would dump Blob Beckel and Shep too.
Puke! I’ll stay away from FNC tonight until I’m sure she’s gone.
O'Reilly isn't perfect, no talking news-head commentator is, but still he's head and shoulders above the cookie cutter never-trump opinions by the mainstream TV so-called news readers.
5 PM/ET – Eric Bolling
7 PM/ET – Martha MacCallum
8 PM/ET – Tucker Carlson
9 PM/ET - “The Five”
10 PM/ET – “Hannity”
Not bad. It might work out well.
I thought Fox should bring someone new into the lineup. Reshuffling a group of not too compelling on air personalities probably won’t maintain their prime time ratings at the level enjoyed with O’Reilly as part of it.
Adding Tucker was a great move, but this reshuffling...
Amen. Perino is just one snarky B - IMO.
Gutfield would be perfect. His Saturday show minus the young folks. Problem there’s not enough material for a guy like him 5 days a week.
I saw some article earlier that said both Mrs. Murdoch’s were instrumental in getting rid of BOR.
Who knows for sure.....
And AGGRAVATING bumper music. Made for low IQ females. Insufferable. I bet Outnumbered is even worse.
Can’t stand the Five
Except for Hannity, this lineup doesn’n’t interest me
Interested in seeing the ratings
O’Reilly did not fold.
He was fired.
O’Reilly has clearly stated that all of the charges against him are false.
In other words, they have no plan. Deck chairs on the Titanic?
The five is a terrible lead-in for Hannity.
They must really be working to remove Hannity.
That Kennedy gal is tough to watch, my husband and I seem to want to switch her off the minute her talking head comes on.
Won’t watch - they’ve lost me as a viewer forever.
While I wasn’t that strong a fan of BOR after some of his actions I refuse to support a network that capitulates to leftism and is inarguably moving to that position.
On the bright side - I no longer need cable tv for cable news and cut that cord too.
Agree on Martha and add Eric Bolling to the list of winners. I think the market will decide “The Five” needs to become “The None”.
BOR was a relative unknown when he came to Fox from some obscure magazine show, so obviously there is no need for a “big name”. Tucker is on the rise, Jesse Watters is the best new talent in years, and CNN is off the tracks - so the future looks bright for FNC.
Is it me or is it now a chore to put on Fox?
Ironically, they are the only place where the Fox schedule shift, the personalities, the opinion on how this happened etc. will NOT be discussed.
