Conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham will take over the 10 p.m. EST slot on Fox News Channel, sources tell CNN.
Ingraham will get her own prime time show this fall, while Sean Hannity’s show, currently in the 10 p.m. hour, will move to 9 p.m. The Five, which moved from the 5 p.m. hour to the 9 p.m. hour after host Bill O’Reilly departed the network earlier this year, will move back to its namesake time slot, according to reports.
Although nothing is official, CNN says that Ingraham has been telling friends that it’s a “done deal” and that there are only a few details to work out before an official announcement.
Fox News made changes to its prime time lineup earlier this year, switching The Five to prime time, bumping Tucker Carlson to 9 p.m. and filling the 5 p.m. slot with The Specialists, hosted by Eric Bolling. Over the weekend, the network announced that they’d parted ways with Bolling, and that The Specialists was being cancelled, to be replaced with regular news programming until a suitable replacement could be found.
