An inside source at Fox News told Drudge Report that Sean Hannity will permanently take over the coveted 8 pm primetime slot previously held by Tucker Carlson.
In a major shake-up, Fox News will also reportedly give personalities Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld primetime shows.
These significant changes could leave host Laura Ingraham without an evening show.
Jesse Watters would move to Hannity’s 9 p.m. slot while Greg Gutfeld moves to a prime-time show at 10 p.m.
It appears that Laura Ingraham, who currently hosts the 10 p.m. show, would be bumped out of the line-up.
A Fox spokesperson denied the shake-up and insisted that a new lineup had been finalized.
“No decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration,” the spokesperson said.
Fox News has denied any plans to cut ties with Ingraham.
“Reports based on various tweets by left wing activists are wildly inaccurate — Laura Ingraham, the top-rated woman in cable news, is now and will continue to be a prominent host and integral part of the Fox News lineup,” a spokesperson said, according to Deadline.
BREAKING: According to Drudge, Fox News will move Sean Hannity to 8pm ET to replace Tucker, followed by Jesse Watters at 9pm, and Greg Gutfeld at 10pm. There is no indication on the network's plans for Laura Ingraham and Trace Gallagher.
