CNN Announces Lineup Changes: Jake Tapper To Be Lead Anchor For All Major D.C. Events; Jim Acosta Takes On New Role With
January 11, 2021 5:46am

Fox News Channel unveiled an overhaul of its daytime lineup on Monday, including the switch of Martha MacCallum’s The Story from its 7 PM slot to 3 PM ET, while chief White House correspondent John Roberts will switch to a new role as co-anchor of a two hour newscast with Sandra Smith from 1 PM to 3 PM.

Meanwhile, Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino will switch to 9 AM ET when they will anchor a two-hour edition of America’s Newsroom, succeeding Smith. Hemmer originally was anchor on the newscast when it launched in 2007, and most recently hosted a 3 PM show. Perino has been hosting The Daily Briefing at 2 PM ET.

Harris Faulkner will move to 11 AM ET with The Faulkner Focus, followed by Outnumbered at noon.

The network said that it would launch a new opinion program in the 7 PM ET slot, with a rotating group of hosts for the time being and the show titled Fox News Primetime. Since the election, much has been made of the growth of Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Reports in that timeslot, as he has advanced Donald Trump’s claims of election fraud. It beat Fox News’ The Story in a key demo on Dec. 7, while MacCallum’s show saw audience erosion in the aftermath of the election. MacCallum’s show still held a wide lead overall, though. In that time period, MSNBC last year slotted The ReidOut with Joy Reid, a much more opinion-driven show than the show it replaced, Hardball with Chris Matthews.

I don't watch the swill so I have no idea what this means for truthiness...
