Related: About this forumFox News adds another hour of opinion programming to its evening schedule
CNN Digital Expansion 2018,

New York (CNN Business) - Fox News Channel is removing one of its only nighttime hours of news coverage and replacing it with a right-wing opinion show, signifying a further shift toward the incendiary programming that Fox viewers overwhelmingly prefer.
The 7 p.m. hour, anchored by Martha MacCallum and called "The Story," will become "Fox News Primetime" and will be led by a "rotating" cast of opinion hosts, a Fox spokesperson said Monday morning.
The overhaul of the 7 p.m. hour is partly a response to ratings pressures. Fox News has been losing to CNN in the key 25- to 54-year-old demographic. Since the election, when many of President Trump's supporters were furious with Fox's acknowledgement of Joe Biden's victory, a far-right show on Newsmax has also been peeling away some of Fox's viewers in the 7 p.m. hour.
MacCallum will move to the 3 p.m. hour next Monday, Fox said.
The move will surely be seen as a demotion, since 7 p.m. is a much more prominent time slot than the afternoon.
