The Fox empire continues to make significant adjustments to its programming lineup, jettisoning legacy talent and struggling to maintain its former audience share.
According to Broadcasting & Cable, Fox Business is discontinuing the long-running program “Kennedy,” which airs at 7 p.m. EDT, and will instead air reruns of former Trump administration economist Larry Kudlow.
Lisa Kennedy Montgomery will continue to appear on “The Five,” “Outnumbered,” and other Fox News programs, according to the aforementioned report.
“Fridays are also seeing a change at Fox Business, with Wall Street Journal at Large with Gerry Baker no longer in the 7:30 p.m. slot, and Barron’s Roundtable moving into that slot. Barron’s Roundtable is currently on Saturdays at 10 a.m. Baker will continue to contribute to Fox News Media,” the report added.
Fox Business Network concludes each broadcast day with reruns of COPS, with new episodes presently airing on Fox’s streaming service Fox Nation.

The popular primetime host Tucker Carlson and Fox News “have agreed to part ways” after more than a decade, Fox News announced on April 24.
“Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st, Fox News said, meaning Carlson did not get a chance to sign off to his viewers. The news comes days after Fox News reached a historic 11th hour settlement with Dominion Voting Systems for over $787 million,” Axios reported.
“FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor. Mr. Carlson’s last program was Friday April 21st. Fox News Tonight will air live at 8 PM/ET starting this evening as an interim show helmed by rotating FOX News personalities until a new host is named,” Fox News said in a statement.
“FOX News Media operates the FOX News Channel (FNC), FOX Business Network (FBN), FOX News Digital, FOX News Audio, FOX News Books, the direct-to-consumer streaming services FOX Nation and FOX News International, and the free ad-supported television service FOX Weather. Currently, the number one network in all of cable, FNC has also been the most-watched television news channel for more than 21 consecutive years, while FBN ranks among the top business channels on cable. Owned by Fox Corporation, FOX News Media reaches nearly 200 million people each month,” the statement added.
Fox News made headlines the previous week when it announced that host Dan Bongino had left the top-rated cable news network, shocking both his admirers and those of the network.
“Folks, regretfully, last week was my last show on Fox News on the Fox News Channel,” the host said on his podcast Thursday Variety reported. “It’s tough. It’s tough to say that. You know, I’ve been there doing hits and working there for ten years…so the show ending was tough. And I want you to know it’s not some big conspiracy. I promise you. There’s no acrimony. This wasn’t some WWE brawl that happened. We just couldn’t come to terms on an extension.”
