Laura Ingraham Gets New Fox News Show; Sean Hannity To Appear Earlier

NEW YORK, NY — Laura Ingraham will host a new show called "The Ingraham Angle" on Fox News as the network shakes up its prime-time schedule.

Fox, which employs several politically conservative hosts, will move Sean Hannity's eponymous show to the 9 p.m. time slot. Ingraham's show will take over Hannity's old 10 p.m. time.

"We are delighted to unveil this new primetime schedule for both our current and future generation of loyal FNC fans," President of programming Suzanne Scott said. "Over the last decade, Laura's extraordinary insight, expertise and strong voice have connected with our viewers across the network's programming. We look forward to her providing the audience with her exceptional commentary, engaging insight and spirited debate."

"The Five," a political panel talk show that airs at 9 p.m. currently, will return to its previous 5 p.m. time starting on Sept. 25. Ingraham's show will premiere on Oct. 30, with rotating hosts filling in for 10 p.m. hour until then.

Beginning in 2016, the network has undergone a series of major changes. Gretchen Carlson, a long-time host of the popular morning show "Fox & Friends," left the network in the summer of 2016 and accused then-CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment. Ailes was then forced to leave the network.

In early 2017, the network's longest-running host Bill O'Reilly suffered a mass boycott due to multiple allegations against him for sexual harassment, which led to his parting with the network. Megyn Kelly, another of the station's popular hosts, left the network near the end of 2016 for NBC News.

Another of the Fox News' notable personalities, Eric Bolling, left the network in September after it was reported that he sent pictures of his genitals to female co-workers.
