Chaos At Fox Information As Whole Primetime Lineup May Be Modified And Laura Ingraham Fired

Fox has mentioned that nothing has been determined but, however Variety constructed on a Drudge Report submit that large modifications are coming to Fox Information:

Fox Information issued the remark within the wake of The Drudge Report posting the notion that Hannity would transfer to eight, whereas Jesse Watters, who has fared properly at 7 p.m., would transfer into the primetime schedule, together with Greg Gutfeld, who hosts a late-night-styled 11 p.m. program.

….

There would even be a query about Laura Ingraham, who has led Fox’s 10 p.m. hour since launching her program, “The Ingraham Angle,” within the fall of 2017.
