DETAILS: Fox News Cancels Steve Hilton’s Sunday Show as Network Shakes Up Weekend Lineup
Mediaite ^ | 6/2/2023 | Aidan McGlaughlin

Fox News is shaking up its weekend lineup in the wake of the departures of two hosts, Steve Hilton and Dan Bongino.

Bongino, who hosted a Saturday night show, left the network last month after the two parties couldn’t reach an agreement on terms. The departure of Hilton is equally un-dramatic: he’s leaving his 9 p.m. Sunday show to dedicate himself full-time to what Fox described as a “new California non-partisan policy organization launching next week.” He will remain with the network as a contributor.

In light of those departures, Fox announced a new lineup starting this weekend. The network is getting rid of The Big Saturday and Sunday Show to make way for The Big Weekend Show (talk about streamlining) which will air at 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. A new program called Fox News Saturday Night will air at 10 p.m. on, you guessed it, Saturday night.

Fox has been dealing with other changes in the wake of its devastating $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over the promotion of 2020 election conspiracy theories. The network ousted its biggest star, Tucker Carlson, and has been quietly laying off staff.

More staffing cuts hit the network this week. Mediaite learned that as part of the belt-tightening Fox let go of its senior correspondent Laura Ingle, who has been with the network since 2005.

Hilton was too much Anti-Biden. Had to get rid of him.

Faux snooze. Tucker’s last show coincided with my dumping them. Weird right? 😁👍

Blackrock owns 4.59% of Fox stock and they have been advertising there, too. Vanguard owns 6.93%.

I’m sure they are calling the shots.

I enjoyed Hilton, so FOX is getting rid of all the good talent?

With all the conservative Fox News viewers gone, it makes sense they’re going after the neopagans.

Me too. I have not even thought to turn on FOX since that terrible day of Nazi-like censorship.

Roger that. Just another lame stream propaganda outlet now. It was already pretty close. Now cemented.

The opportunity to start a new network or build up an existing one has never been greater in my opinion. However, the podcasts world has already shown the new media to be competitive with legacy media and I don’t know how much longer the legacy media will last in its current form.

The future is streaming.

Yep, the networks are killing themselves and the competition will only quicken it.

I believe Hilton was too pro Trump and too anti uniparty establishment.

It's Interesting on the day Pence says that must resist populism, the populist Hilton gets canned at Fox.

Just say no to Fox/Murdoch/Ryan/DeSantis.
