In a major programming shake-up, Fox News has announced that anchor and commentator Will Cain will receive his own afternoon time slot, marking a significant career milestone. Starting on January 18, 2025, Cain will host “The Will Cain Show” at 4 PM ET on weekdays, replacing the current show in that time slot.

“It has been an honor to wake up with America these past four years, and I am thrilled to apply my background in news, law, entertainment, and business to help our viewers better understand the headlines through thought-provoking content and analysis every weekday afternoon,” Cain said in a statement.

Fox News Media highlighted that The Will Cain Show will provide a comprehensive look at the day’s biggest stories, adopting a podcast-style format that combines news, conversation, and analysis. Cain’s unique perspective, which draws from his experience in law, business, and journalism, will bring a fresh angle to the network’s afternoon programming. The show will feature interviews with key figures from politics, business, culture, and sports.

Cain, who currently co-hosts Fox & Friends Weekend, will be succeeded by Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt. Hurt, who is the opinion editor at The Washington Times, will resign from that role to join Fox News. Cain’s final appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend will be on January 18.

“As the media landscape continues to evolve, we are always looking to innovate our programming lineup to meet the needs of our viewers, and we are confident the new lineup will best position FOX News Media for the future,” said Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott. “Will Cain brings years of experience to the 4 PM hour as an accomplished broadcaster and a lawyer, and we look forward to adding his insights to what will no doubt be another historic news cycle ahead this year.”

In addition to his new show, Cain will continue to host his Will Cain Show podcast Monday through Thursday, merging the worlds of news and sports with an emphasis on audience engagement. His podcast will continue to produce new episodes after his transition to television.

Cain has an extensive background in broadcasting, having previously worked as a contributor for ESPN, where he hosted The Will Cain Show on ESPN Radio from January 2018 to June 2020. He has also contributed to CNN and Blaze Media, further expanding his media presence.

Fox News Media also announced that Dagen McDowell, co-host of The Bottom Line, will be joining The Big Money Show on Fox Business Network. Beginning January 27, 2025, the show will expand its airtime to 12-2 PM ET weekdays. McDowell will continue her role on The Bottom Line, which airs from 6-7 PM ET.

This programming shake-up represents Fox News’ continued efforts to innovate its lineup and provide viewers with a fresh, dynamic approach to news coverage in the evolving media landscape. Fans of Cain and McDowell can look forward to exciting changes as both hosts take on new roles in the upcoming year.
