Watters Gets Carlson’s Old Time Slot In Fox Shakeup

Deadline reports:

Fox News unveiled a new primetime lineup, with Jesse Watters moving to Tucker Carlson’s old 8 p.m. time slot and Laura Ingraham slotted earlier in the evening at 7 p.m. Hannity will remain at 9 p.m., while Greg Gutfeld’s show will take over Ingraham’s slot at 10 p.m. The changes will be effective as of July 17.

A scheduling shakeup had been anticipated since Fox News pulled Carlson’s show in April, leaving the 8 p.m. hour with a series of rotating hosts. But they have generally drawn about half of Carlson’s audience, while Newsmax has had a ratings bump during the time period and MSNBC has improved its performance.
