A new era begins for Fox News Channel on Monday when a new primetime lineup launches.
“The Ingraham Angle” will kick things off at 7 p.m. ET, followed by “Jesse Watters Primetime” shifting to 8 p.m. ET, “Hannity” will remain at 9 p.m. ET and “Gutfeld!” will begin at 10 p.m. ET.
“Fox News Channel has been America’s destination for news and analysis for more than 21 years, and we are thrilled to debut a new lineup. The unique perspectives of Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Sean Hannity, and Greg Gutfeld will ensure our viewers have access to unrivaled coverage from our best-in-class team for years to come,” FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott said.
Sean Hannity, who has been with Fox News Channel since it launched in 1996 and is the longest-running primetime cable news host in television history, believes the new lineup could be truly special.
“The one thing that really stands out to me is how unique every person is,” Hannity told Fox News Digital. “I think each host will put their own special fingerprints on the network.”
Hannity had high praise for each host and feels Ingraham is “like a sister” to him after a friendship that has grown over the past 30 years.
“We’ve been in the trenches together. You know, ideologically we’re very much in sync. We have a great rapport,” Hannity said. “She’s like the sister that’s always teasing her brother, you can see it in the handoffs. She just likes to jab me.”
“The Ingraham Angle” was the top-rated 10 p.m. program on cable news since it debuted, and will now air earlier in the evening to kick-start Fox News’ primetime lineup. As a result, Hannity won’t have to worry about Ingraham teasing him about not wearing a tie during handoffs anymore, and “Gutfeld!” will now follow his program.
