Fox News announces new primetime lineup, including Tucker Carlson's replacement
Fox News has announced an all-new line-up for its primetime slots following the exit of Tucker Carlson in April.
From July 17, the channel will debut a brand new lineup at its peak times. The lineup was confirmed by the company's CEO Suzanne Scott in an announcement on Monday.
It will see Laura Ingraham kick things off in the shake up as she hosts The Ingraham Angle from 7pm ET.
Next up comes Jesse Watters Primetime, which moves into the 8pm ET slot left vacant by Tucker's departure.
In an unchanged bit of planning, Sean Hannity sticks with his Hannity 9pm ET slot, while Greg Gutfeld will get underway from 10pm ET.

The channel's decision to part ways with the controversial Tucker Carlson caused shockwaves at the time.

He further described them as "kind and decent people" who "really care about what's true". The presenter added: "And a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those."
He continued: "The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are. They're completely irrelevant."
