Ever since its launch in 1996, Fox News has enjoyed a unique history of minting top talk personalities, ranging from Sean Hannity to Megyn Kelly to Greg Gutfeld. Now, the Fox Corp. unit is going to bring an outside entity into its empire.

As part of a licensing agreement, the popular “Ruthless” podcast, led by a trio of G.O.P. insiders and a fourth who likes to call himself “Comfortably Smug,” will align itself with Fox News Media’s suite of podcasts, which include programs led by Dana Perino and Brian Kilmeade. Fox News executives may see more of this activity on the horizon. Porter Berry, a longtime Fox News executive who helped produce “The Five” and Sean Hannity’s primetime show before becoming president of Fox News Digital, will take on additional duties tied to new media and opinion podcasts.

Financial terms were not disclosed. “Ruthless” is seen as...

Fox News continues to lead the way across cable news for the second quarter of 2025, with The Five and Jesse Watters Primetime being the network’s big winners. According to AdWeek, citing Nielsen ratings, Fox News averaged 2.633 million total primetime viewers and 1.632 million total day viewers for the period from April to June. This was down 13% in total viewers during primetime compared to Q1 and down 15% in total day. However, compared to the same quarter last year, it was up 25% in both primetime and total day. The Five, led by Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, Jesse Watters, and alternating hosts Jessica Tarlov and Harold Ford Jr., was Fox News’ most-watched program for the second quarter, averaging 3.851 million total viewers in its 5 pm Et slot. Watters’ own primetime show was the network’s second-highest-rated program, averaging 3.431 million viewers for the second quarter. Fox News dominated the Top 15 rated programs among total viewers for the second quarter,...

Fox News Channel wants viewers to think of its hosts and anchors as the type of people you might see while taking in a football game, eating at the local diner, or even on board a military transport.

A new Fox News promo uses digital technology to insert Sean Hannity in a neighborhood eatery; Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino in front of what looks like a field of wheat; Jesse Watters and Laura Ingraham at a football game; and Harris Faulkner on board what appears to be a Navy ship. The hosts talk about a new era “where common sense….” says Martha MacCallum, holding forth at a shopping center, “….meets common ground,” adds Bret Baier, her frequent co-anchor.

“This is a time to come together,” add the various hosts, who also include Greg Gutfeld, “for all America.”

Executives at Fox News hope to create the notion that there is a single,...

Dana Perino has some advice. And so does many of her friends and colleagues.

The co-host of America’s Newsroom and The Five is publishing a new book this week, I Wish Someone Had Told Me: The Best Advice For Building A Great Career And A Meaningful Life, giving her own advice on work and life, and turning to people she knows to share their perspectives as well. The title will be Perino’s fourth book, and her first for Fox News Books, the imprint that the company says has now sold over three million copies.

“If [readers] take anything away from it, it is that being curious is a great quality and a great way to live your life, because the time is short and it goes really fast,” Perino says, speaking with The Hollywood Reporter at Fox News headquarters earlier this month.

In a wide-ranging conversation, Perino discusses some...

Fox News Channel continues to top the ratings charts, delivering its highest-rated January in cable news history and marking its 23rd consecutive year as the number one network in cable news, averaging 1.916 million viewers in total day viewership and 2.781 million viewers in primetime.

In daytime, the network topped ABC’s “The View” head-to-head for the first time ever with “The Faulkner Focus,” anchored by Harris Faulkner. The daytime news show averaged 2.552 million viewers in January, +44,000 viewers ahead of “The View” and its 2.508 million viewers.

Former President of the United States Jimmy Carter’s funeral service is taking place today.

The late 39th President’s casket arrived in Washington D.C. on Tuesday (January 6), followed by a procession to the U.S. Capitol, the Rotunda service and the start of the lying in state.

The national day of mourning began on Thursday (January 9) as U.S. officials, loved ones and members of the public say their final goodbyes to Jimmy Carter, who will be buried beside his wife of 77 years, Rosalynn Carter, at the home they built in Plains, Georgia.

He will be honored with two funeral services: one in Washington, D.C., and one in his small hometown.

Several news networks will be covering the Washington, D.C. ceremony, and there is also a way to watch via livestream.

Seeing how he won the presidency in a landslide, you’d think that Donald Trump would be feeling like he’s on top of the world right now. But that doesn’t seem to be the case at all.

The Tragic Life Of Donald Trump Revealed

Trump hasn’t even stepped foot in the White House yet but somehow it seems like he’s taken on a lot of stress for a man that is only the President-Elect.

In fact, some people think that there are details about his life that are just downright tragic just because of some of the things he has to deal with on a daily basis.

For example, a lot of people can’t help but wonder as some people think that Donald Trump might be making a huge mistake with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Fox News host Dana Perino thinks President-elect Trump might be nominating Rfk Jr.

Is it too late to make the switch? That’s what a loot of fans and critics from both sides of the aisle can’t help but wonder as some people think that Donald Trump might be making a huge mistake with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Is Donald Trump Making A Huge Mistake With Robert F. Kennedy, Jr?

According to the latest reports, Fox News host Dana Perino thinks President-elect Trump might be nominating Rfk Jr. for the wrong role.

Perino says that if Rfk Jr. wants to have an impact on food regulations and policy, he belongs at the US Department of Agriculture not Health and Human Services. That certainly makes sense, doesn’t it?

Of course, it goes without saying that the internet certainly has had a lot to say about the matter.

Some even commented with, “Honestly….she isn’t wrong?...

Fox News anchor Jesse Watters and his co-hosts weighed in on a hot topic on Wednesday’s (December 11) edition of The Five, debating whether or not accused killer Luigi Mangione is attractive. “I just don’t think the guy is that good-looking,” Watters said of Mangione, the man suspected of shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson to death in Manhattan last Wednesday (December 4). “I don’t, either!” replied co-host Dana Perino. “His eyebrows are horrible.” Since his arrest earlier in the week, many social media users have come out in support of Mangione, with many praising his looks. However, Watters said he doesn’t understand the fascination. “I took a poll of my staff for females today and they said he was average,” Watters shared, per Mediaite. “But what’s attractive about him is the vigilantism, and Jeanine [Pirro] touched on it, I touched on it, women like the bad boy.” He continued,...

Fox’s Greg Gutfeld is one of the most popular personalities on the network. With so many fans tuning in to watch him, viewers have become concerned following his absence, which has included him being Mia from his programs. So, what has been going on with him, and why haven’t viewers seen him on the air lately?

Fox News Fans Love Greg Gutfeld

Networks like Fox News have had some charismatic personalities over the years who are capable of bringing in audiences consistently. One of those personalities is Greg Gutfeld. He hosts a popular late-night show, appropriately called, Gutfeld!

His show is one of the highest-rated among all of late-night television. Gutfeld is also a member of The Five, one of the highest-rated opinion shows out there. In fact, The Five is the highest-rated show on the highest-rated network across all of cable television. So, that’s certainly something to hang your hat on.

Running throughout most of the past year, the Deadline ElectionLine podcast is now spotlighting the aftermath of the 2024 election. In that, we are still focussing on the often blurred lines between politics and entertainment in modern America. Hosted by Deadline political editor Ted Johnson and executive editor Dominic Patten, the podcast features commentary and interviews with top lawmakers, media and entertainment figures. As Donald Trump’s second term, policies and cabinet comes together, follow everything on the ElectionLine hub on Deadline.

“When everyone was saying cable news is dying, I would say, show me a news cycle that didn’t start with a cable news interaction,” Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov says, flipping the common post-election hot take.

“Cable news is still setting the agenda largely, and that doesn’t mean you don’t need to future proof everything,” The Five co-host adds today on the Deadline ElectionLine podcast – as you can hear above.

Jesse Watters is battling backlash after saying he wants to see some “eye candy” from president-elect Donald Trump‘s female cabinet picks. The Fox News host made the remark after The Five panel watched and discussed a video of Secretary of Health and Human Services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s shirtless workout. In the video, Rfk Jr. is seen showing off his muscles as he does pull-ups and roll-over exercises to Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger” at Gold Gym’s in Venice, California. “Practicing moves for my confirmation hearing,” Rfk Jr. wrote alongside the video, which has amassed over 5 million views on X. “I just think it’s unfair that you had to get to see this and we don’t get to see any of the female members of the Cabinet,” Watters told his female co-hosts Dana Perino, Jessica Tarlov, and Jeanine Pirro, per The Daily Beast.

Fox News fanned the flames of Donald Trump’s election denialism in 2020, but now one of its anchors has rebuked Kamala Harris for failing to swiftly concede the 2024 vote.

Speaking at 2am Et on Fox News, host Dana Perino said: “You should concede and let your opponent have their election night … Let them have their moment.”

She recalled how John Kerry took time to concede defeat to George W. Bush in 2004 (he phoned Bush at 11am Et the day after voting), but in a clip circulating on social media, did not mention Trump’s failure to congratulate Joe Biden in 2020. Perino served as Bush’s White House Press Secretary.

Election Day is here, and the major news networks are prepared for a long night — and potentially a long week.

With over 50 million people early voting in the 2024 Presidential Election, Tuesday night will offer plenty of results to thumb through even if an ultimate winner isn’t called until later in the week, and most of the news networks will kick off their election night coverage at 6 p.m. Et, with CNN even starting at 12 a.m. Et while NBC News begins at 5 p.m. Et.

MSNBC’s Steve Kornacki will return to the Big Board — and will even be livestreamed on Peacock and other social platforms — while Fox News will see Bill Hemmer steering the “Bill”-board.

Most networks have scheduled eight hours of election night programming from 6 p.m. Et to 2 a.m. Et, with a result for the presidential showdown between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump not expected immediately.

Not many people who work at Fox News Channel get to push back at Sean Hannity. Lawrence Jones is one of them.

When Jones was just getting started at the Fox Corp.-backed conservative-leaning news outlet, Hannity took him under his wing, and offered advice, even the chance to start appearing on his well-watched primetime program. At first, “I told him no,” Jones recalls, “I’m more libertarian. You’re more conservative. I just want to be able to do what I do.” Hannity told him the pair could use their differences to create interesting segments. “We will make it a thing on TV,” Jones remembers being told.

Lawrence Jones continues to do things differently at Fox News Channel. At 31, he is decidedly younger than many of the network’s best-known personalities. He is one of just a handful of people of color who hold regular posts on the Fox News schedule.

The Fox News Channel will offer a live simulcast of CNN’s presidential debate next week, the network announced in a statement.

The debate is scheduled to take place on Thursday, June 27 and will mark the first formal debate between incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Both are the presumed nominees for their respective parties.

The event is the first time two leading presidential candidates have participated in a nationally-televised debate not organized by the Commission on Presidential Debates since the 1980s. The candidates mutually agreed to appear on CNN and ABC News for at least two debates during the election season, and the two networks have offered other TV stations and news outlets the opportunity to simulcast them live.

On Thursday, a spokesperson for Fox News Media said their channel was taking CNN up on the offer,...

There are some rumors swirling around about Dana Perino and her future on Fox’s news talk show The Five. Those who have watched Fox News over the years know that there have been plenty of shakeups at the network over the last few years. With Dana missing from The Five’s recent episodes, many people are wondering if she is coming back or not. Here is everything you need to know.

Is Dana Perino Leaving The Five?

Rumors about Dana Perino’s future on The Five started to circulate last month. Ads on social media shared the news that Dana planned to leave the Fox show due to tension with Sean Hannity. The pair have been seen arguing on The Five previously.

YouTube/Fox News

However, there is some good news for fans. Dana Perino is not leaving The Five, not at this time anyway. Any rumors about her leaving the show are false.

Now that the upfronts are over, it’s time to hand out much-deserved accolades to those who made this year’s presentations truly unforgettable.

Just remember, everyone’s a winner here. But these folks made the week extra special in New York.

Most Ominous Overture: Kelly Clarkson kicking off a week of upfronts that used to be the sole proprietorship of broadcast networks with tunes like “Whatever Makes You Stronger” and “Since U Been Gone.”

Best Dressed Code Breakers: Men like Bob Iger, Casey Bloys, Mike Hopkins and Rob Wade for appearing without ties. Nothing says we are hemorrhaging money more than a nude neck.

Earworm Award: Beyoncé’s Texas Hold ‘Em and Miley Cyrus’ Flowers that were played on a loop.

Best Joke of the Week: “NBC is launching the new adventure Destination X,” said Seth Meyers at the NBCU upfront. “It was originally titled the Linda Yaccarino story.

Lego Masters host Will Arnett kicked off the 2024 Fox Upfront by introducing most of the celebrity players for the new season, including Jon Hamm, Olivia Culpo, Tom Brady and of course Rob Lowe, who he introduced as coming straight from St. Elmo’s Fire.

What else happened at the presentation in the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City? Read on.

Michael Strahan and Gordon Ramsay kicked off the show in the theater-in-the-sound setting, and it took all of 20 seconds before Ramsay dropped his first f-bomb. The duo riffed about their pairing as hosts and Ramsay cussed some more before they brought out Jeff Collins, President of Advertising Sales, Marketing and Brand Partnerships. “The Fox portfolio is designed to drive maximum impact for your brand,” he said in a statement that absolutely no one has ever heard before at a NY upfront.

The 2024 Fox upfront presentation featured an appearance by Jamie Foxx in one of his first public appearances since his health crisis last year.

Foxx took to the stage and did his best to crack up the crowd of advertisers, a tall order considering the bar had yet to open. He gave it his all though, showcasing his trademark wit and charisma, reminding the attendees “You got free alcohol after this. Let’s get f—ed up!”

The host of the Fox competition series “Beat Shazam,” Foxx not only took the chance to plug his own series but also Fox shows like “The Masked Singer,” “Animal Control,” and the MLB’s upcoming Negro Leagues tribute game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, for Fox Sports. Failing to get a satisfactory reaction from the crowd for that last programming note, Foxx asked the crowd, “Y’all won’t clap for the Negroes?...

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem embarked this week on one of the more tumultuous book tours in recent memory, as she was peppered with questions about an anecdote about killing her dog Cricket, and another story about meeting North Korean leader Kim Jung Un. Major doubts were raised that the latter story was true.

As she sought to promote No Going Back, she was peppered with questions in interviews with mainstream outlets like Face the Nation and NewsNation, but some of the most contentious Q&a have been with those on the right, like Fox Business’ Stuart Varney and Newsmax. The book was an obvious was of getting attention as Donald Trump considers potential running mates, but Rob Finnerty of Newsmax went so far as to tell her, directly, “I don’t even think you’re on the list.”

Now Noem has started to cancel media appearances.

CNN’s Dana Bash told viewers today that,...

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received over 156,000 votes in the Pennsylvania GOP primary election despite dropping out of the race in March, suggesting a significant protest vote among Republicans.

Haley won 16.5% of Pennsylvania’s primary vote on April 23.

She secured twice the number of votes by which Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in 2020.

Both parties are focusing on Pennsylvania since its 19 electoral votes make it a critical battleground state.

Tens of thousands of Republicans refused to vote for Trump even though he is the likely GOP nominee.

He won the primary race in the critical swing state with 83.5% of the vote, amounting to more than 786,000 votes.

Biden gained 90% of the Democratic vote in this primary election.

If the former South Carolina governor’s GOP supporters decide not to back the former president in November, it could swing Pennsylvania in Biden’s favor. This week, the Biden campaign increased outreach...

Jon Stewart called out Fox News on The Daily Show for their eclipse coverage with an immigration angle.

As North America prepared to witness the solar eclipse, Fox News warned viewers of the threat to the southern border that this represented.

“We are told that officials are bracing for higher traffic than usual and that means a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in,” Bill Hemmer said on the cable network after co-host Dana Perino said the eclipse would last about four minutes.

Stewart quipped, “Or they could just wait til nighttime.”

The Comedy Central host then questioned if there was anything Fox News couldn’t tie to immigration, mocking the anchors and saying, “This year’s cicada infestation provides perfect cover for Venezuelans.”

Later on in the show, Stewart had Christiane Amanpour as a guest who called the eclipse “beautiful.”

Stewart told Amanpour, “The world is ending,...

It’s eclipse day in America, and if you thought Fox News was going to act normal about it, you were wrong.

The right-wing news network wasted no time on Monday attempting to link the moon’s brief blotting out of the sun to migrant crossings at the Mexico border.

“Fox News alert! A rare celestial event collides with a policy failure on the ground. The southern border is directly in the path of totality today when the moon covers the sun,” host Dana Perino said during Monday’s broadcast of America’s Newsroom.

Greg Gutfeld isn’t your typical Fox News personality. But he is turning in to something that is more traditional at the Fox Corp.-backed cable outlet.

Fox News is expected to announce that it recently closed a deal with Gutfeld to extend his contract, a move that spotlights the host’s importance to the network’s operations even if he isn’t in the mold of a Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham. Under the pact, Gutfeld will continue his co-hosting duties at the roundtable show “The Five” as well as his 10 p.m. program, “Gutfeld!,” a looser take on the issues of the day that marks a bid by Fox News to woo the younger TV viewers who might watch late-night programs such as “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS or “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central. The third anniversary of the 10 p.m. program arrives Friday.

It was one year ago on Friday that The Wall Street Journal’s Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russia on espionage charges that the U.S. government has called “fiction.”

On Thursday, Gershkovich’s detention was extended by another three months, according to the Journal, as he awaits trial.

The Journal said in a statement, “It’s a ruling that ensures Evan will sit in a Russian prison well past one year. It was also Evan’s 12th court appearance, baseless proceedings that falsely portray him as something other than what he is—a journalist who was doing his job. He should never have been detained. Journalism is not a crime, and we continue to demand his immediate release.”

Gershkovich was detained on March 29, 2023 by Russia’s security service. It was the first time that Russia has charged an overseas reporter with spying since the end of the Cold War. The...

The Fox News Channel was cable television’s most-watched news network for the 36th straight month, notching higher total day and key demographic viewers throughout the month of February when compared to its two closest competitors, according to Nielsen data.

The channel was also the most-watched in prime-time across cable news for the 37th straight month, the Nielsen ratings showed, with programs like “Hannity,” “The Ingraham Angle,” “Jesse Watters Primetime” and “Gutfeld!” drawing millions of viewers to the network during the week.

Fox News grew its television audience 8 percent during the day among total viewers and 5 percent in prime-time among the key demographic of adults ages 25 to 54 years old (A25-54), a group that is most attractive to advertisers, according to Nielsen data. The increases were compared to the prior month.

The United States Presidential Election takes its next step on Saturday, Feb. 24, when the South Carolina primary elections are set to take place. The Democratic incumbent Joe Biden is not facing any organized opposition from his party, but in the Republican field the race has narrowed to two candidates: former U.N. ambassador and South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, and former President Donald Trump.

He was interrupted by climate protesters, who have been a frequent presence at events in recent days.

There is a Democratic race, too. Joe Biden is not on the ballot,...

Media-wise, the 2024 presidential election crosses the official starting line with debate season, and this cycle the contenders on the Republican side, including a multiple-indicted former Potus, are looking to beat Democrat Joe Biden and take over the White House. But first they have to take on one another.

For the candidates, debates are a way to score points against a rival, stand out from the field or define a campaign that’s heretofore been rudderless.

Front-runner Trump has opted out of all the debates so far. In August, he instead decided to hold forth with Tucker Carlson in a more friendly pre-taped interview. That debate drew 12.8 million viewers on Fox News. He also did not participate in the September 27 debate in Simi Valley, CA, which drew 9.5 million viewers across Fox Business and Univision and simulcast on Fox News.

The third debate November 8 in...

Have you heard it’s cold in Des Moines? The subzero temperatures are making Monday’s caucuses in Iowa the coldest on record, a running theme of coverage throughout the day and into this evening. It’s not trivial, as the frigid weather may very well impact turnout.

As Iowa’s first votes of the 2024 presidential race come in, expect a lot of analysis, punditry and prediction, even if the results represent just a sliver of the primary electorate. The Hawkeye state’s primacy as the first-in-the-nation often obscures the peculiarities of the caucus system, unless there is some kind of glitch, which is what happened four years ago with the Democrats.

That said, networks see the caucuses as the kickoff of what is hoped a spike in viewer interest in the presidential contest, as was seen in 2020 and 2016. All of the broadcast networks are planning for ongoing coverage of...

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that he had an uneasy feeling about George Santos, facing an expulsion vote this week, before the 2022 election and even predicted to two Fox News anchors that “something is going to come out on this guy.”

In a Q&a at The New York Times’ DeadBook Summit, McCarthy said that he tried to get someone else to run in Santos’ New York district, but “he had already kind of locked down and you couldn’t beat him.” So as the House Republican leader, McCarthy did a fundraiser for him “and I’m doing it for everybody.”

“And I listened to him and I walked back and just say, ‘We shouldn’t fund this race. I don’t know what it is. But we shouldn’t fund this race.” He noted that the House GOP superPAC did not.

Then, a couple days before the election,...

The one major political figure who spent more time than any other in the GOP debate Spin Room wasn’t even a Republican: California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Speaking for Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, Newsom sparred with Sean Hannity on Fox News’ Hannity, spoke with CNN’s Dana Bash and chatted with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. He answered questions about his own presidential ambitions, defended the state of California, praised the recent WGA-amptp agreement and even weighed in the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift situation. “It was the XFL, the Jv team,” Newsom said of the seven candidates who participated in the event.

Some of the actual candidates who appeared onstage did venture into the spin room for lengthy periods, including Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, Mike Pence and Doug Burghum, but Newsom also did a pre-debate round of Spin Room interviews to a swarm of reporters and camera crews.

The tone of the second Republican primary debate can best be summed up with a slip of the tongue from Vivek Ramaswamy: “Thank you for speaking while I’m interrupting.”

Over two chaotic, loud, and often unintelligible hours, seven candidates appeared onstage for a second round of jabs between presidential hopefuls — who at this point are all still fighting for second place. Fox News once again hosted the debate, tapping Stuart Varney, Dana Perino, and Univision’s Ilia Calderón as moderators. The trio struggled to maintain any semblance of control over the proceedings.

Update: Moderator Dana Perino tried to finish off the debate with a Survivor-style question: Write down their choice on who should drop out of the race, given that none of them would get the nomination over Donald Trump unless the field was thinned.

“Which one of you, tonight, should be voted off the island?” Perino asked.

Ron DeSantis, however, put a stop to it. “I think that is disrespectful to my fellow contenders.”

Chris Christie, however, seized on the question to argue that Donald Trump should be voted off the island.

“This guy has not only divided our party, he has divided families all over the country,” Christie said.

Previously: Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment — thou shall not speak ill of another Republican — has been cited during the debate but surely not followed.

As if realizing time was running out to make a mark, candidates came prepared to attack the others.

The second Republican presidential primary debate of the 2024 cycle takes place Wednesday at 9 p.m. Et/6 p.m. Pt at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA. Fox Business Network and Univision are hosts and will air the event live, with simulcasts across Fox News Channel and Fox Media’s digital platforms including Fox Nation.

The two-hour event is being co-moderated by Fbn’s Stuart Varney, Fnc’s Dana Perino and Univision’s Ilia Calderón. Univision’s Spanish-language broadcast will be a first for a GOP primary debate.

The debate will also be available on-demand in Spanish on the ViX streaming service beginning at midnight Et.

Former President Donald Trump again is bashing the prospect of another Republican presidential debate, falsely claiming that his absence has translated into low viewership.

In fact, when his rivals gather at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for the second debate on Wednesday, the question will be whether the event on Fox Business and Univision can match last month’s figures for the first gathering: a higher-than-expected 12.8 million viewers.

Fox News’s Dana Perino, who will moderate the debate with Stuart Varney and Univision’s Ilia Calderón, suggested that the viewership reflected a willingness among voters to look at alternatives.

“I think there’s people who are open minded and they’re paying a lot of attention, and they care about the direction of this country and they’re worried about it,” Perino told Deadline.

“I think that the national level of anxiety is very high, in particular on a couple of issues,...

At Fox Business Network — for one night, at least — it’s all a lot more than the economy.

When the cable outlet televises a Republican primary debate on September 27, many of the strategies it used the last time it did so are going out the window. Gone are moderators Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo, who have experience with such events. In their place: First-timers Stuart Varney and Dana Perino, alongside Univision’s Ilia Calderón. The network will also move away from its efforts to focus largely on business and economic topics, as it has in the past.

Executives at Fox News Media have begun contemplating when to take more momentous news coverage to a broader audience, says Jay Wallace, president and executive editor of Fox News Media, in an interview. “There are very few events out there anymore,” Wallace says. “People do care about politics,” he adds. “It is a...
