14. The quickest way is poor ratings

Thu Dec 28, 2017, 06:30 PM

Dec 2017

If Hannity keeps losing his time slot, he'll be cashiered at the next contract renewal. Any replacement is going to need some time to recapture Hannity's audience; that replacement will either have to out-Hannity Hannity, or go in a different direction. Hannity's core audience doesn't have the time to be recaptured (I'm saying they're old - really old) by a new face.

After Hannity's departure, Fox may have to try something new.
