The Five @ 9 is a bad move. Better to move Hannity to 9 and give 10 to Watters or existing/new talent.

It’s terrible. Giving those five self-obsessed babbling jerks the prime spot?
ZZZZZZ.

I agree. As others have said, Fox should move Hannity to 9:00 pm.

Tucker at 8, Regan at 9, Hannity at 10. The ratings are going to take a hit.

And to make matters worse they give his coveted time slot to the awful Tucker Carlson. Carlson never has anything new. Just more arguing with democrats about week old stories. Fox has been going left for years. O’Reilly was a blowhard but he made the network and he is a lifelong friend of the president, which is probably why he was canned. I guarantee the severance package is at least a 100 million dollars and I guarantee you Murdoch will withdraw the sexual allegations.. That was a low blow and there was no reason to mention it and and give CNN something to laugh about for the next month and further tarnish the reputation of the man who make Fox News.

I’m sure the persons or entities that funded this hit, by making up for non disclosure payments, allowing these women to talk; would also hit Sean Hannity: an even more open opinion person-show.

They have not. Hmm. Perhaps there is fire under the smoke?

O’Reilly is awful at his job. Having said that, he should be fired because he’s awful at his job NOT because leftists are mad because he got along with Trump. This isn’t good news to me.

In WP:

Bill O’Reilly is officially out at Fox News

https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/bill-oreilly-is-officially-out-at-fox-news/2017/04/19/74ebdc94-2476-11e7-a1b3-faff0034e2de_story.html?utm_term=.ae709d74cbec

“Fox News has ended its association with Bill O’Reilly, the combative TV host and commentator who has ruled cable-news ratings for nearly two decades and was the signature figure in the network’s rise as a powerful political player. “

Agree with every word you said about O’Reilly. Didn’t always agree with him but he was great at what he did. He made the network. Tucker Carlson is a joke, probably the worst host on Fox. It’s up to Lou Dobbs now. To hell with Fox News. They should merge with CNN.

I watched him.....like a blind pig......go after acorns and find them. For all the WRONG reasons. I watched him trash Barney Frank.....but never gave a clue as to any solid knowledge or reasons as to what Frank should be trashed for. There were many but he never got it

No loss to Fox.

BOR....was exposed to me....when he swore up and down that the media was NOT biased.

He soft balled Obama too many times....Glad he's gone.

That all said....I watch about zero News T.V.

They are pretty much dead...to me.

What a little witch. She would be terrible. Gomert is one of our best and she treated him that way. Thanks for the clip.

I tuned in Hannity to see what he has to say about this and... nothing. I almost suspect today’s program is a re-run. It seems oddly non-topical.

Really strange they wouldn’t shift Hannity to O’Reilly’s spot.

It’s like a ball club benching their best hitter, then NOT replacing him by the second best hitter, but giving it to the bat boy.

Does this stupid company have a death wish?

Hear! Hear! I agree and echo your every word!

"The spin stops here because we're looking out for you." Har. BOR forgot to look out for himself!

Bill O'Reilly should have never settled. Big mistake. Yuge. Never surrender. Never retreat.

When Roger Ailes was let go (fired) that should have signaled BOR that his days were numbered and maybe it did, but he sure didn't take preventative measures, IMHO.

I'm sure everyone has noticed that FNC no longer posts an e-mail address for complaints to the management.

Tucker is a good choice to fill the time slot.

Tucker will fail in this time slot. No current FOX personality can keep the numbers Bill did.

And this was when she was “brand new” on FOX...maybe her first foray as a interviewer?
