On Monday, August 14, Matt Drudge let the cat out of the bag, as he occasionally does (remember the Lewinsky scandal?), with an enigmatic tweet that congratulated veteran radio and TV talk host Laura Ingraham on her move to FNC prime time this fall. This tantalizing tweet was followed in short order by reports in other media advancing long simmering speculation that the FNC prime-time schedule will soon be changed
However, in an exclusive being reported here, on Tuesday, August 15, one of my reliable sources said with "1,000% certainty" that Fox News management wants Sean Hannity for the all-important 9 P.M. hour. "That's the most likely scenario" of the changes being discussed, the source added.
While no contracts have been signed and no final decisions have been made, it appears as of this writing that the fall 2017 FNC prime-time schedule will most likely be Tucker Carlson Tonight at 8, Hannity at 9, and (possibly if not probably) a new program hosted by Laura Ingraham at 10. In any case, it looks as if The Five will be returning to its former 5 P.M. slot. If this information holds true, the lead story today is that Sean Hannity will soon be going head to head against MSNBC's Rachel Maddow in a battle of the cable TV news titans.

No! More like Nursing Home Beat. They have become irrelevant. Waiting for Bannon and Breitbart to get their own network...
“Two vapid valley girls and a guy without a tie.”
“Vapid”. That’s so funny. It’s exactly how I perceive them. Didn’t say it, though, worried that I might come across as Church Lady, or any of the old nattering biddies in my dad’s churches.
That is a worthless, and, yes, useless waste of transmission time. Get rid of it!
That's how we roll. I do record Tucker so I can thumb through it.
“I just can’t get excited about Laura Ingraham having a show. A contributor, yep...a host, no.
She’s very voluble and has poise. But I’ve followed her closely over the years...and there’s a certain lack of consistent conservative drive that has always made me uneasy, and still does.”
Ditto. My sentiments precisely.
“Hayes is a douche.”
A double douche.
“I refuse to endorse Laura Ingrahams pretended defense of Trump, because its always couched in little comments that make her sound like shes ultimately agreeing with the leftist narrative.”
Bingo. Dana Perino is a master at this technique, appearing to agree with Trump and his Admin, and then sticking the stileto in their backs.
“I cannot stand Kat Timpf!”
Politically she’s incredibly stupid, makes continuous sourpuss faces, contributes nothing to a debate on any given subject, and is a total waste of space and time. Other than that, she’s just fine.
“As long as Fox continues to give air time to Never Trumpers, Dana Perino, Juan Williams, Chris Wallace, Shep Smith and Krauthammer I will continue to not watch.”
In your litany here, you forgot to add Chris Stirewalt. Can’t stand that smug, sarcastic, sanctimonious, pontificating, oh so clever (he thinks) pile of horse manure.
“I know Sean works very hard, and puts in long hours with his radio and FNC TV show gigs, but I can’t stand that his show is pre-taped when there is often big breaking news going on at all hours.”
It’s pre-taped because they moved him into such a late time slot. My guess is if he is moved back an hour, it will be a live show.
“Id return as a regular Fox viewer if they added a couple of conservatives who are exceptionally bright, witty, articulate and well-informed. Ill offer up Mark Steyn and Buck Sexton.”
I’d love it if they would give Mark Steyn his own show. He’s brilliant, insightful, and has a wonderful way with words. He likes to cleverly play with them; I like that. He writes incredibly well also. I love to read his articles.
Move "The Five" back to its original time slot, sans Perino. Leave Juan there. He adds spice and a sense of drama.
Give Ingraham, or even better Steyn, her own show replacing "The Five" in its current slot.
As far as Tucker goes, I think he does a masterful job probing the consequences of Liberal "thought" which is why I think he let's them rant occasionally. They bury themselves.
Finally if I am so smart how come I don't own my own network? Life is not fair.
Perrino (doesn’t that translate as little dog...like little lapdog of the Bushes?)...is a little bitch evil puppy. I switch the channel when she comes on. Not Laura, though...you misjudge her.
I am glad they are putting Hannity back at 8:00 central. 9:00 was to late for me. I could very seldom watch the entire show and always had to record half of it, sometimes the entire show. The same thing will probably happen with Laura Ingram’s show. I am glad they are putting The Five back at the original time table.
