As the Fox News Channel continues to hemorrhage viewers since it booted top-rated Tucker Carlson off the air, the network is reportedly on the verge of a major shake-up in its schedule.
Among the changes, according to the Drudge Report, is Sean Hannity moving from 9 p.m. Eastern to Carlson’s old time slot of 8 p.m.
“FOXNEWS is preparing to announce an ambitious new schedule, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, a schedule where ever hour of primetime will change!” Drudge reported.

Drudge also reported both Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld would move to prime time.
Watters, who was formerly a sidekick to Bill O’Reilly, currently hosts one of Fox’s top-rated programs at 7 p.m., and Gutfeld is the marquis name for his own highly-rated show at 11 p.m.
Both actually co-host the channel’s top-rated program “The Five” at 5 p.m.
Mediaite reported that Hannity “broke the record for longest-running cable news prime time host in April of 2022, eclipsing Larry King at 25 years, six months, and 15 days.”
A Fox News spokesperson said in a statement: “No decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration.”
