Georgie56 3353 Posted August 29, 2017 Posted August 29, 2017 FNC is going off the air... ...in the UK. http://money.cnn.com/2017/08/29/media/fox-news-uk-fox-sky-rupert-murdoch/index.html
Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted August 30, 2017 Posted August 30, 2017 I don't think it made much sense for the network to be broadcast in the UK besides being just one of the other foreign news channels available. But it focuses so much on a specific US-based audience that it's probably too unappealing for UK audiences, despite how readily available it was. My friends in the UK have access to it through their providers and don't even have CNN!
Rusty Muck 4443 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 So Fox News hired Tomi Lahren, the nutjob best known for repeatedly assailing Colin Kaepernick to the point the NFL blacklisted him... in addition to being an insufferable slave** for Trump. Basically she'll have a role just like Osama bin Epshteyn on the Sinclair chain. Only shock is that this didn't happen much sooner. **Yeah, I was redundant... they're all insufferable.

Wasn't this the chick that was bitching about Obamacare, yet she's still on her parent's health insurance plan?... one of the many provisions of Obamacare... But totally not a hypocrite. No sir-ree. She'll fit in just fine at FNC.

A3N 1002 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 When both OANN and Glenn Beck manage to fire you... No kidding. You know she's a piece of work when one nut fires another nut. She'll fit right in with Hannity...

alex979 119 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Eric Bolling is out, and The Fox News Specialists has been cancelled. Shep anchoring at 5pm today... http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/fox-news-eric-bolling-investigation-1202552350/
Action Newsroom 1325 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Wow. I would be be honest in my feelings about this development, but after the "shitstorm" some posters gave me after Roger Ailes' passing (some shit about showing my true colors and being bitter and speaking ill [as if none of that happened here before]), I'll just say this: he got what he deserved. Good luck to him finding work elsewhere (*snicker*). On The Other Hand, I hope Shep gets another hour on the schedule after this.
atlnews2 601 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Posted September 8, 2017 Eric Bolling is out, and The Fox News Specialists has been cancelled. Shep anchoring at 5pm today... http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/fox-news-eric-bolling-investigation-1202552350/ wow. to think this guy was considered at one point to be an O'Reilly replacement. I hope this means Shep gets another hour. He should have gotten back the 7pm slot once Greta left. maybe push Cavuto to 5pm and have Shep do 2 hours starting at 3
ColDayNews 438 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 Push "The Story w/ Martha MacCallum" to the 5:00 hour and revive FOX Report w/ Shepard Smith in the 7pm hour.
alex979 119 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 I think it's more likely that The Five will move back to 5pm, as it has not fared well against Maddow at 9pm. Rumor has it that (ugh) Laura Ingraham will get a primetime show...
Rusty Muck 4443 Posted September 8, 2017 Posted September 8, 2017 One more domino falling at the House of Ailes. As for Charles Payne, those accusations sounded bogus from the get-go. Last thing needed are people like Scottie Nell Hughes crying wolf when a legitimate series of scandals exist.

Rumor has it that (ugh) Laura Ingraham will get a primetime show... Hardly a surprise. Fox basically handed the ratings for that timeslot to Maddow with The Threeve, and she's taken full advantage.
Eat News 4745 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 What about Cashin' In? ...and his book tour...
NEOMatrix 1308 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Shep should get 5-7pm and beat Wolf Blitzer, easily.

When even Glenn Beck fires you, you're a nutcase!
Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Some sad news for a change involving Bolling: his son died last night, a source telling Mediaite that it may have been a suicide.
Georgie56 3353 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Fired from Fox and his only child killed himself, all on the same day. September 8 must have been the worst day of his life. So sad.
Rusty Muck 4443 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Some sad news for a change involving Bolling: his son died last night, a source telling Mediaite that it may have been a suicide. What a terrible twist. I was never a Bolling fan, but damn. He didn't deserve this. Nobody deserves this.
Action Newsroom 1325 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 My goodness... Now I feel like absolute shit after what I said about his ouster yesterday. No one deserves to outlive their child.
TSSZNews 1053 Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Shep should get 5-7pm and beat Wolf Blitzer, easily. Yeah I really don't know why they don't just give Shep 5 (or 7?) and bring back a weekday FOX report. It would go a long way to restore some news credibility in the eyes of those who see little left.
NEOMatrix 1308 Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Losing your job and your son to suicide? That seriously has to be devastating. I'm very sorry to hear that.
Georgie56 3353 Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 It's official. Laura Ingraham is getting a show at 10pm. Lumpy is moved up to 9pm. The Five moves back to 5pm.
