Is Laura Ingraham Next?

Fox shakes up the tree. A nut may come out.

Contrary to the noise, Laura Ingraham will be on Fox. However, her 10pm spot will be vacated. That means that someone will fill her spot in the coming months.

Nothing is confirmed until Fox actually brings the goods.

A network spokesperson said, “Reports based on various tweets by left wing activists are wildly inaccurate — Laura Ingraham, the top-rated woman in cable news, is now and will continue to be a prominent host and integral part of the Fox News lineup.”

Actually it came from The Drudge Report.

The latest Fox News statement does not address whether she will remain in her 10 p.m. ET time period, but the network statement is a pushback on social media rumors that she is exiting.

The speculation about Ingraham started after the Drudge Report, in its main headline, reported that Fox News was about to overhaul its primetime line up, with "Softball" Hannity leading the 8 p.m. hour and shows hosted by Jesse Watters and Greg Gutfeld taking the later slots. That left the question of what would happen to Ingraham.

Softball Hannity's program is stale.

Earlier in the day, the network said that “no decision has been made on a new primetime line-up and there are multiple scenarios under consideration.” After the network dropped Tucker Carlson’s 8 p.m. show last month, a series of rotating hosts has filled the time slot under the banner Fox News Tonight, with the expectation that a permanent occupant would be named.

Ingraham has hosted The Ingraham Angle since 2017.

Fox News has seen a viewership dip in primetime with the loss of Carlson, but the network’s lineup of Fox News Tonight, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Ingraham have still generally topped rivals in total audience. MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show did beat that annoying agitator on Monday and but Maddow’s show is on just once a week.
