Big Changes Imminent at Fox News
American Thinker ^ | August 16,2017 | Peter Barry Chowka

Posted on 08/16/2017 7:54:31 AM PDT by Hojczyk

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.

So many things about the show is dumb. PeRINO... Greg Gutless... and idiot Bolling pointing to his hand mouthing the words (The Five)... Juan Williams...

I used to like watching Lee Carter on “Maria”, but she sees to have her head up her sexy BBW a_s since the weekend, criticizing the “all sides” talk.

FOX is going to rename it: “The Vacuous Five”.

Agree. Jesse Watters is great and I’m not going to EVER complain about Kim Guilfoyle, but “The Five” is less watchable than Maddow. Juan Williams, just retire already, nobody likes you. The rest are just plain bad.

Congrats to Hannity! The Five is very hard for people to watch. Especially older people. My mom can’t make sense of it with all those people talking, and she has closed captioning.

Kick Maddow’s ass, Sean!

I still don’t know WHY that happened. Did they get Sean Hannity’s approval to do that? Otherwise if I were him, I would have raised holy hell as going from 9 to 10pm seems like a pretty big demotion, and considering his ratings were through the roof, Im surprised he just went along with it nonchalantly.

I like it - Hannity should be the 8pm with Laura at 9pm and Tucker at 10pm though.

I’m so fed up with Fox News that I think Hannity should look for another media vehicle. Maybe something like the Blaze.

Fire Shep, Kat Timpf and Eboni.

Totally agree.

IMO, if FOX were smart they would position Jesse Watters as updated Bill O’Reilly.

I’ve grown to like The Five... Watters adds a nice touch to the show. But it belongs in the old five o’clock time slot. Or maybe late night... It’s a thumb sucker show... not a lot of conclusions but enough stuff to sit back and ‘think about’ to make it worthy.

Good news! I always hoped for Hannity to get the 9 spot. And Laura...wow! Did you see her takedown of the Kraut last night? Yes, she went there. She took down the token wheelchair guy who till now has been garbed in teflon. Kraut said Trump was not speaking from the heart in his first reaction to the C-town false flag incident! Laura cracked:”so now you read hearts...you really are a Ph.D,”

Us, too. We turned to OANN last year as Fox disintegrated.

Scrap the useless “The Five”.

It's unwatchable.

It was bad enough immediately after the last revamp and move to 9:00 PM but it just continued to get worse.

Like a gaggle of honking geese hollering over one another.

Saw her on Fox last night. Was surprised to see she wasn’t wearing her gold cross. Just an observation.
