Starting Monday, October 7, 2013, FOX News Channel (FNC) will be serving up a new primetime lineup comprised of Greta Van Susteren, Bill O’Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Sean Hannity. Van Susteren’s On the Record with Greta Van Susteren will lead off evenings on FNC at 7pm. She’ll be followed by The O’Reilly Factor at 8pm, The Kelly File at 9pm, and Hannity at 10pm (all times ET).
Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of FOX News, made the official announcement of the network’s new primetime schedule, stating: “As the network continues to dominate with the top 13 programs in cable news, FOX News already redefined primetime viewing to extend well beyond the antiquated 8-11PM format. We’ve developed a deep bench of engaging and thought-provoking personalities that have grown with FOX News as it has evolved into the most influential and successful cable network in television. These changes will enable the network to continue setting the industry standard for years to come.”
Van Susteren says she’s thrilled to be bumped up from her 10pm slot after 11 1/2 years and is looking forward to new challenges. And Megyn Kelly added, “In 2003 I was an unhappy lawyer and made a decision to change my life. Ten years later, I’ve been able to do that thanks in large part to Roger Ailes, a boss who always gives me the same directive: ‘Be yourself and have fun.’ What a great job. I am very grateful.”

As the newest edition to the line-up, The Kelly File (9-10PM/ET) will focus on late-breaking stories in a live format as well as in-depth investigative reports interspersed with newsmaker interviews. While embracing a stronger social media presence, the new program will capitalize on Kelly’s skills as a former litigator and create a unique platform for developing angles as events unfold.
Immediately following On the Record, The O’Reilly Factor (8-9PM/ET) will continue uncovering news items from the established wisdom, operating against the grain of more traditional interview style programs. The number one cable news program since 2001, O’Reilly’s signature No Spin Zone cuts through the rhetoric as he challenges the players who make the story newsworthy.
Moving to the 10-11PM/ET timeslot, Hannity will continue showcasing Sean Hannity’s provocative style and conservative commentary on politics and the American agenda. The show will also provide a highly interactive viewing experience utilizing tools such as viewer voting and the Hannity Live companion app, a web experience allowing viewers to gain access to exclusive content directly from the show producers in the control room. Hannity will also travel even more across America and expand his studio audience specials like the show’s College Forum.
