Starting July 17, Jesse Watters Primetime will take over the 8 p.m. slot previously held by Carlson. Laura Ingraham’s The Ingraham Angle will move from 10 p.m. to 7 p.m., while Sean Hannity’s Hannity stays at 9 p.m. The satirical commentary show Gutfeld! will shift to 10 p.m., and the 11 p.m. hour will feature Fox News @ Night with Trace Gallagher.

Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said: “Fox News Channel has been America’s trusted destination for over 21 years, and we are excited to launch this new schedule. The unique perspectives of Laura, Jesse, Sean, and Greg will continue providing sharp analysis from our top team.”

The change comes after a challenging period for Fox News. The network agreed to pay $787.5 million to settle a lawsuit over allegedly misleading coverage related to the 2020 election. In addition, Carlson and the network faced another lawsuit from a former producer who alleged a workplace full of bias.

Tucker Carlson became a major draw for viewers but often stirred controversy with extreme views. Despite his exit, Carlson remains under contract until early 2025, reportedly preventing him from launching a rival show. Nonetheless, he started posting short videos called Tucker on Twitter, which drew wide attention.

Jesse Watters, who now steps into the 8 p.m. slot, has also faced criticism for controversial remarks. Yet, Fox News seems to believe his popularity can help rebuild ratings.

Amid credibility challenges and fierce competition, Fox News is counting on loyal audiences to help it bounce back. Whether this “comeback” succeeds remains to be seen once the new schedule airs.
