Fox Announces Huge Shakeup Involving Longtime Host Mark Levin
Fox News still struggling beneath a collapse in ratings after the dismissal of former prime-time powerhouse Tucker Carlson appears to be pivoting to another of its more prominent hosts in an effort to coax spurned viewers back from competitors such as Newsmax.
On Wednesday, the announcement went out via Fox Corporation’s publicists that an enormous change to the network’s weekend schedule will find none other than Mark Levin moved to the Saturday Night prime time 8 PM slot which will provide him with greater visibility, doubling his existing schedule footprint that currently sits at Sunday 8 PM.
Fox’s executive vice president of primetime programming Meade Cooper reportedly led the charge to make the change.
He told the press in a statement, “Since joining the network in 2017, Mark has provided our audience with thought-provoking analysis on America’s core values and their impact on current events.”
Levin responded to the news with humility saying: “It’s an honor to join the other outstanding hosts on Saturday in bringing the most intelligent, informative, and entertaining programming to the nation. Thank you to our loyal audience and Fox News.”
