Rocked by the loss of its top-rated opinion host Tucker Carlson, Fox News has overhauled its prime-time lineup in an effort to reverse its recent ratings declines.
The Rupert Murdoch-owned conservative news channel announced that Jesse Watters — who has hosted a 7 p.m. Eastern program since Jan. 2021 — will move to the 8 p.m. slot previously held by Tucker Carlson. Watters will remain a co-host on "The Five."
Fox News is also moving Greg Gutfeld's talk show "Gutfeld!" an hour earlier, to 10 p.m. Eastern. The program is often the most watched show on the network among the 25-to-54 age group coveted by advertisers.
