They've tried this in the past. The FX Channel used to have a great, though much more light-hearted, show called "Breakfast Time" that was SO much more entertaining than any of the other morning shows.

When they realized they had something good, they decided to switch it to Fox to try and compete with the other network shows. They renamed the show "Fox After Breakfast", and basically changed the whole format, eventually dumping cutie co-host Laurie Hibberd (Regis' Gelman's wife) and keeping Tom Bergeron as the sole host.

They also dumped "Bob The Puppet", who was hilarious, got rid of the "Road Warriors", who were arguably the best part of the show, and soon found themselves in the can.

Keep it on Fox News! It's a news program, not a morning show. Don't make the same mistake twice Fox!

BTW, I used to LOVE Breakfast Time. One day they had a then unheard of band of sisters and brothers from Ireland on - and I was very impressed. Turned out to be the Corrs!

Yep! I loved Breakfast Time! I was so disappointed that they ruined such an originally great show! Eventually Tom quit the show...and I believe Carol Burnett became the host before it was cancelled.
