Fox Business Network Expands in Primetime
Fox Business Network is remaking and expanding its primetime lineup.
The net said Tuesday (Sept. 18) it will be moving Trish Regan to 8 p.m. to host a new show, Trish Regan Primetime, about the intersection of policy and Wall Street. That bumps Kennedy Live to 9 p.m. and means the the business news network will have live programming until 10 p.m.
"[W]e are excited to extend our live programming through 10PM, ensuring all of our viewers get the most robust and comprehensive look at how the political economy affects their everyday lives," said FBN President Brian Jones.
Regan's new show will feature a rotating group of experts looking at how Washington policy affects the economy, markets and personal finance.
The show debuts Oct. 15, but it would have had plenty to talk about Tuesday as the Trump Administration announced $200 billion in tariffs, a trade policy that has tech companies nervous about its impact on their business and consumers.
As part of the expansion, Making Money moves from 6 p.m. to the 2 p.m. slot that had been the home of Regan's The Intelligence Report. The Evening Edit With Elizabeth McDonald moves to 6 p.m., but Lou Dobbs will remain in his 7 p.m. slot.
