Laura Ingraham Will Host 10 O’Clock Show as Part of Fox News Shuffle
Laura Ingraham, the conservative radio host who has been a steady supporter of President Trump, will host
a Fox News show at 10 p.m. Eastern, as part of a prime-time shake-up that moves Sean Hannity to 9 p.m.
Ms. Ingraham will host “The Ingraham Angle” weeknights starting Oct. 30, Fox News said on Monday, confirming earlier reports that a deal was imminent.
“The Five,” an ensemble show currently in the 9 p.m. slot, will move back to 5 p.m.
Mr. Hannity and “The Five” will begin in their new time slots on Sept. 25, while
rotating hosts will handle the 10 p.m. hour until Ms. Ingraham takes over.
The reshuffling of Fox’s prime-time schedule is the network’s latest attempt to find its footing after its longtime hosts Bill O’Reilly
and Megyn Kelly left the network earlier this year, leaving the once sturdy lineup in flux.
Fox News now turns to Ms. Ingraham, a longtime contributor to the network who had recently been courted for a White House communications job.
“Over the last decade, Laura’s extraordinary insight, expertise
and strong voice have connected with our viewers across the network’s programming,” Suzanne Scott, Fox’s president of programming, said in a statement.
